i love this time of year
Genevieve listed out how busy this time of year is for her, which made me think about my own schedule. I'm barely going to have time to breathe.
- Oct 31 - Halloween
- Oct 22-Nov 10 - Packing, setting up new utilities, change of address stuff
- Nov 11 - Move, plus a week or so of unpacking/painting/etc.
- Nov 16 - 1st Wedding Anniversary and my brother's bday
- Nov 27 - Thanksgiving
- Dec 13 - Dad's bday
- Dec 21 - Mom's bday
- Dec 25 - Xmas (which includes going to both maryland and dallas this year)
- Plus tons of research papers and exams spread throughout the next 2 months
Oh, plus I was going to do handmade xmas cards this year, which I need to figure out with Tim so I can order supplies. I really need to start thinking about what to get people for all these gifts. Especially wedding anniversary, which is coming up really quick. Paper. Hrm.
I love this time of year though, especially when daylight saving's time ends. I love coming home at 5:30pm and having it already be dark outside. I love the cool, crisp air. I love getting home and lighting a fire in the fireplace. Plus we will have a nice high ceiling in our living room so that we can get a really tall tree to decorate. And we're having Thanksgiving at our house this year - the two of us, plus probably our friends Ryan & Rachel, and Ryan's parents.
Just thinking about this time of year makes me smile.
Other than that, things have been busy, of course. Lots of school papers and exams, plus my internship. I am loving working with my preschool class. They are all just wonderful children. We seriously have very little conflict in the classroom. It's going to be a rude awakening when I get a new preschool class who isn't quite so well behaved and accepting. ;) Today we are taking the class to the pumpkin patch in Halfmoon Bay. Besides having lots of pumpkins, it also has pony rides and other family activities. Should be a fun time.
So last night we went to an audience pre-screening of a movie that is still in production called The Big White. It stars Robin Williams, Holly Hunter, Giovanni Ribissi, Alison Lohman, and Woody Harrelson. Since it is still in the works, not all the special effects have been added yet, but they just wanted an audience opinion on how it flowed, the ending, etc. Man, that was a funny movie. There were a few things that could use some work, but you should definitely keep your eye out for it's release. Hooray for free movies!
Hm. I can't think of anything else to say right now. :)

We have a huge tall ceiling in our new house too! I don't think we'll get a big tall tree, though, my toddler would just climb it. ;)
