It's definitely fall and we've been so busy, but it's been great! We've done so many fun things... a couple of which involved Iowa State football! Well I guess if we're going to get technical 1 of those events also included Iowa football, which is only relevant because my sweet husband is unfortunately an Iowa fan and he feels pretty strongly about our son also growing up to be an Iowa fan. We'll see about that. Although, after the way Iowa State played this year, I don't know if I could blame him if he grew up to be a Hawk fan. He would at least probably lead to a life with far less hearbreak than we Cyclone fans are accostomed to. Anyway, my point was we watched the Iowa State vs. Iowa game with a great group of fun Iowa people. We also went to the Iowa State/K-State game at Arrowhead. It didn't turn out like we clones fans would have liked, (yes, more heartbreak,)but it was still so great to spend time with great friends cheering on our team, and even better that I got to do it 10 minutes from our home! If only all ISU games were played in KC!
We celebrated Thad's 32nd Birthday on the 22nd of September. We had dinner with Harper at Carabba's and then came home for ice cream cake with our neighbors. Thad even let us sing Happy Birthday, which is very non-Thad-like. He said it was for the kids, but I don't know...he may have even enjoyed it a bit himself. Although, you'll notice by the lack of pictures that he didn't enjoy it enough to allow me to catch it on film. We went out the weekend after his birthday with good friends. We had a great dinner and a fun night listening to live music at a cute little spot in downtown Lee's Summit. I love to find great little locally owned spots! Again...no pictures to prove it, but I promise we had fun!
We have also enjoyed another one of our favorite fall traditions...the pumpkin patch! We love it so much, we've actually been twice. Once with the Christiansen's and then again with the Kruger's and Dooley's. We go to this great pumpkin patch that also has a bunch of farm animals and activities for the kiddos. We could really probably take Harper there every weekend and he'd never get tired of it!
Fall brings one other very important event...Thad and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary this past week. 3 years. It's gone so fast, but it also seems like we've been together forever. I can't remember what my life was like without him. I do know this much...everything has been so much better with him by my side. I'm a lucky, lucky girl. We celebrated by having a great dinner at one of our favorite restaurants last weekend and even going out for a couple drinks afterward. It was so nice! We don't do date nights nearly often enough.
So, the fall decorations are out. The yummy smelling candles are burning. Up next: Halloween! We can't wait! I'm already buying candy since we have like a million trick or treaters in this neighborhood...it's so fun!
