Remember when I said I felt like big things were about to happen for us? Well, they are happening, people.
Of course, it’s nothing that I can talk about yet, but let me tell you there’s going to be a lot of change in this household in the next couple months. Sit tight I promise I’ll let you in on the haps (yes I totally just used haps in a sentence) soon….
Happy Halloween!!
October was a busy month from day one to today, but all those busy days added up to a fun and super fulfilling month.
…
We are doing this a day early, I realize, but I try not to post on Saturday’s Everyones, doing too much fun stuff to come here and read my blog anyway.
Anyone else feel like all of a sudden the holidays are right around the corner? No? Just me? I realize it’s only October, but then, my brain starts making to do lists and I just feel like I’m running out of time already. Why can’t fall last just a little longer?
…
We have so many projects going on right now I can’t even.
We are up to our ears in canning projects. Pickles of all kinds, sauces, jellies, and salsa abound I tell you. The deck is still underway, the garden is a constant project, and well now I decided that we need to actually finish more of these little house projects. Why might you ask, because I’m a crazy person? I must be.

This month I admitted to you guys something huge. Well huge to me in my own little world. I also began the process of explaining myself a little further. And since I started talking about it I have done so much day dreaming. Big plans for next year already guys, big plans.
It felt good to finally get into the woods and pick up another hike, as well as catch up with Chrystina for a weekend. I tried to show her what we “suburbia-country folk” are all about. I hope I did a good job. We will see if she ever comes back.
August was a good month for me to balance out the crazy first half of summer and I’m sad that It’s over, but I’m looking forward to more hikes, cooler temperatures, and lots more garden veggies as they come in.
How has your summer been? Are you ready for fall?

I’m feeling it, man. Oh, am I ever feeling it.
The last couple months have been wild. Lots of ups and downs happening over here. That’s life right? It tosses you up, throws you down, then flips you over and tosses you again.
We aren’t going to get into the details on here, because really, you don’t care about my petty problems. You have your own stuff to worry about. Just know that I realize this place has taken a hit like it usually does when I’m all stressed out, but also know that I’m working on remedying that. It’s not going to be right away, but it’s coming. That’s what you do when you’re in a funk like this, you keep reminding yourself that it’s not forever, and it’ll be alright. And it will be just fine very soon.
We have a new normal now that we are just settling into and it’s going to change again in a few days when Alicia moves out, and it’s back to just us three (Chuck, Brody & I) in the house. Change is the only constant, right?
Next month we are hoping things will calm down a bit and we can make some more time for the things that fill us up, like hiking, fishing and spending time with friends.
