Autumn

I love Autumn, except for the rain and the cold that is. I love the colorful leaves and all the yummy fall foods. I love cozy sweaters and fireplaces. This weekend Jonathan and I are throwing our 2nd Annual Harvest Party. We have a bunch of friends over and we all go to a corn maze and get lost, then when we find ourselves we pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and then we head back home. We then open the door to the scent of a cooking turkey and carve our pumpkins while our mouth waters. Then I finish up the final dinner preparations and we FEAST! There is Turkey and mashed potatoes and stuffing and hot apple cider and sparkling cider and pumpkin pie, we then play games and enjoy the cozy fireplace while we hang out with good friends. I love Tradtition!
For those of you who may have noticed, There is another link on my blog, This My Recipe Box. I am slowly adding all my my recipes to the internet so that one day I will be able to access all my favorite recipes as long as I have the internet. So please feel free to check out the ones I have already and let me know if you would like to add any.
Lots of fun!
God Bless!

Teatro Zinzanni!

In the Spirit of Moulin Rouge, Teatro Zinzanni is part dinner theatre and part circus. I went with sxeveral co-workers as it was a SuperFloors Sponsored event. The performers were absolutely amazing! No photos were allowed during the show, so its just pics of us having fun. We got our faces painted and enjoyed delicious food. The performers included a magician, several amamzing jugglers, a contortionist and trapeze artists. I am glad that we were sitting on theoutside ring as several of the audience were called to participate... and sometimes it was quite embarassing! Enjoy the pictures!

More on the House


Hey all! This is the floorplan of our new house! To answer your questions, we havn't sold the condo yet, as we wanted to make sure we had a place to live first. We will be putting it on the market after our inspection goes well. As of right now, it will be all ours on the 24th of October. Jonathan is going to let me paint and make it all pretty, I can't wait! We are on the lookout for a refridgerator, a stackable washer and dryer and a couch /loveseat set. While it comes with appliances, the fridge is kinda on the small side and we want to put our chest freezer in the utility room next to the W/D. I have decided that I will be patient on the couch side of things so I can find one I really like. Now I just have to pick my colors! I can't wait to start living there and having family over!
God Bless!
