Oh baby, why don’t we dance?

Ok, almost made it an ENTIRE month without posting. Long gone are the days of posting everyday or even every week! Fail. But I’m back!
Hopefully all of you have settled into fall and are gearing up for winter — we had our first completely frozen AM this morning (note to self: seriously work on snow tires…) but otherwise we’ve had the most amazing fall weather! Sunshine, sunshine and more sunshine. Of course, thats led to some chilly weather BUT it’s also allowed for a few final hikes, explorations and even just walks out and about before reallllllly having to bundle up.
Where to even begin??
I have a new nephew — Bradley Thomas, and a new …second cousin? Zoey Paige. Aka, Joe and Tricia both had their babies (within a week of each other!). SO much fun to have newborns around — I always forget how tiny they really are!
Also in October — I had my one year anniversary in Alaska (celebrated in Seattle, natch), and had my one year anniversary here at the office. As things like this always go — it seems like in some ways I’ve been here forever and at other times, like this year has FLOWN by.
Seattle was an amazing trip — jam packed start to finish of course, filled with delicious breakfast/brunch/lunch/happy hour/dinner dates, wineries, the babies (!!!), old friends, and lots of family time. A glorious four days that left me exhausted and yet entirely revitalized and refilled with city energy…and about a months worth of new clothes! 
True to my last post — all “grown up” clothes. I love it!
I’m back to house sitting — and along with my big huge kitchen to work in again, I’ve also been utilizing the workout room! Finally (its been…months?) I’m actually waking up early and working out! Its certainly still a work in progress — but, as I knew I would, I really truly love it. The peace and quiet has also brought back my interest (love?) of reading. I’ve finished two books…in a week! AND I need to get back into HP! Tickets went on sale a few days ago…and I’m still on book 5! Fail.
In other news –
- I’ve been luxuriously lazy and been relaxing, lots of wine nights, dinners, lunch dates, and movie nights, and most importantly sleep. Believe me, I’m not complaining!
- I went to a party — in the valley! It was a crazy night filled with square dancing, beer festivals, wet t-shirt contests, and pole dancing (obviously not me!)…whew.
- I LOVE that hockey is back — I’ve actually been to quite a few games already and plan to absolutely keep it up!
- I took Bren and Izzy to see Mamma Mia! at the PAC while it was here — if it comes to a town near you, GO! It was fabulous.
- Halloween this weekend — re-wearing the Wonder Woman costume, only this time, it’ll be with people my age and not a room full of eight year olds (hopefully…haha)
- I still LOVE my CSA. Seriously — if you don’t have one, find one near you! www.fullcirclefarm.com
- I’ll be in Spokane for a week in December — let’s hang out!
