October?!?!

Seriously, where did October come from?  I feel like yesterday was Labor Day and yet here we are on October 2nd.  I cannot wait for the days where I can't go outside without my coat and boots!  I hope that we have a blizzard this winter, lol.  We hardly got any snow last year and I really want snow.  I feel like the final 3 months of the year have the most exciting activities packed into them.  First my brother's birthday on the 25th of this month, I cannot believe that he is going to be 16!  I remember when he first came home from the hospital, he is growing up :(  Next up is Halloween which I am really looking forward to because I have planned a pretty funny costume for this year.  Then Thanksgiving and last but not least Christmas!!!! I love Christmas so much, it is my favorite holiday after all.  This year we are doing things a little differently, we have a limit on how much we can spend on gifts.  The limit is $30 per person.  I decided to do this because I went broke last Christmas only to realize that the gifts didn't even matter at the end of the day.  What mattered was all the fun we had singing, eating, and dancing that night.  So as these next few months creep up on us, just try and remember what these holidays are really about.  Spending time with loved ones laughing, singing, and dancing.



Can't wait to have a repeat of this :)
