I don't have much creative thought at the moment. Too much going on(at least that's my excuse) and not enough exciting material to share. So here's an abridged version of the goings on of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis these last few weeks. Or at least what I've been meaning to blog about for awhile.
The entire month of October was a blur. My brother got married to my lovely new sister-in-law. And in a funny twist of fate giving her my maiden name(practically, off by one letter). She's amazing and I am so proud of my brother, I love them together. Here's some of my favorite pictures from their wedding weekend. I was using my brother's camera, becoming the unofficial photographer(who couldn't figure out the camera no less) but it made me REALLY want a new camera. Christmas maybe? *hint hint*
(Okay so apparently Photobucket is having issues tonight, I will try to post all the pictures again in the morning.)
Halloween came and went pretty quickly. I dressed up as a nurse and Matt(after much pleading) dress up in his football gear. Not really a costume but at least he looked the part. Halloween night we went to my parent's house for a potluck/trick or treating. And I will admit...this is the first year I haven't gone trick or treating. Yes, I have still gone out and gotten candy until this year. I guess I decided being married kind of discounted me from getting free candy finally. My baby sister has always loved me going with her to get candy so I don't feel too silly for doing it for 21 years. But this year I hung up my pillowcase and we passed out candy at my parents while everyone else went around the neighborhood. That's when I discovered the only thing better then getting free candy(with a few strange looks) is getting to sit out front comfortably handing out candy to cute little kiddies. Until... A certain little 12 year old kid came to the door. We gave him candy, and he says, "Hey I like your costume." Um thanks(me) "Do you wanna go out with me?" Uh, no. Awkward...
Not too much going on so far in November. But it has FINALLY cooled down a bit. I'm not holding my breath that it will last but somehow those fall scented candles(and scentsy) and my new Fall inspired decor(really just rearranged furniture, an entry rug, and new curtains) seem so much better when it actually feels/smells like Fall outside. Not to mention chai tea which never tastes as good cold and cupcake obsession taking a pumpkin theme. I really would share the recipe/pictures however the cupcakes didn't really make it much further then just being made. I'm pretty sure we ate the entire dozen in two days before we even got around to icing them. I guess that's a good thing, I'll have to make them again and actually attempt the frosting I was envisioning. It might be wonderful.
Well I hope you are all enjoying the cooler weather I will add pictures as soon as I can.
Oh and a quick shout out to my friend Lacey who just got engaged! I'm so happy for you two I can't wait for the wedding:D
