It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep...

Did it feel to anyone like fall just appeared out of nowhere? I'm not complaining, it's my favorite season of the year, but it seemed to be a big surprise this year!

In other news:
We found a home for Charlie. He's living with a girl we knew in high school and her husband. We couldn't be happier to have found such a wonderful home for him, they already have a black lab, and the two dogs play together like crazy!

Connor and I had a birthday party:


As you can see, she was really happy. I was really mad that the picture didn't turn out great, but she was moving so fast!

Also, Ella is one of the prettiest babies I've ever seen, and I love love love taking pictures of her.

Last weekend, Christopher and I went to the UC homecoming football game with my family. We took Nick along with us too, but I couldn't seem to find a good picture, so he's not in this post! It was fun to spend the Saturday enjoying family, football, and of course, free food!

Like father like son:

After the UC game, (The Bearcats won BIG TIME!) We went to the Cyclones' game with Nick. Nick REALLY likes going to those games, and we actually had a blast. Since then, Chris has watched NHL on TV nearly every single day. NBD.

So...we need some things...can anyone help?

I figured I'd throw this out there in blog land and see if anyone has any furniture that they're not using. Here's what we're looking for:

A small kitchen table. (Our new kitchen is VERY small, so not a very big one)
A dresser.
A couch and/or loveseat. (I'm working on figuring out how to re-upholster, and if that doesn't work out, we'll REALLY need a new couch or loveseat!)
Window coverings and/or hardware.

I know it's a lot to ask, but if anyone has anything available, we'd be happy to take it off your hands!

# Dear Bob Evans, +

Thank you for creating the most brilliant entrees ever for breakfast. As if your warm delightful biscuits weren't enough, you added eggs, sausage, gravy and cheese.

There was nothing more delicious to bite into after signing the lease for our apartment this morning.

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Hey guys! A few little tid-bits here...

Nordstrom is going great,

work is good for Christopher,

And we are signing the lease tomorrow morning for our APARTMENT! We're moving into the Norwood ward, and will be missing you all, but we're excited to start a new chapter in our lives.

Sadly, it's time for us to say goodbye to our dear sweet dog Charlie. He's not coming to the apartment with us. However, we are letting him go stay with a wonderful new family! They already have a big black lab, and he's right at home playing with her.


Oh yeah, what do you think of the changes to our blog?
