The COLD WINDS are coming...

The trees in the midwest are B-E-A-UTIFUL right now, but the cold harsh winds are just around the corner (literally). So I ran around town to get these photos (love them) before all of these gorgeous leaves are on the ground (sad but true).

Enjoy them while you can (I know I am).

Vet School Halloween Costume Party

We had a fun time with our friends at the Vet School HalloweenCostume Party.

~Chris was a Musketeer & Travis was a Roman Soldier ~I was a mighty ASU Football Player
(Pat Tillman to be exact)

~Shauna & Davis were a socket & plug - too funny.

(Their costumes were homemade so they actually worked.)

~ A little 'Blue Steel' action

(We missed you Brisa.

-Thanks for the photos La Brisa Photography)

Wodiske Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza

On Halloweenie Night - Travis and I decided to have our first pumpkin carving contest. It was a great idea to begin with, I only wish we would have thought about it a little sooner because trying to find two nice looking pumpkins on Halloween day is an extremely hard task. After 4 stores I found the only 2 pumpkins left in our city, they just happened to be miniature pumpkins. oops.

*Keep in mind when you look at the below photos that one of us is more adapt to the uses of a scalpel.wink wink. Also one of us - not naming any names Tra... used a hand-drawn stencil to create his finished product, while the other pumpkin was 100% free-hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The winning pumpkin as you can guess was the KSU pumpkin carved by Travis. 4 out of our 5 judges found it to be perfectly proportioned & more difficult to create than a free-hand heart.

Congrats Travis!

The Ballets Are In...

We decided to vote early due to suspected mass numbers on voting day - especially since in a small town everyone goes to one specific location... could be chaos. It was a very fun experience.
May God's will be done!!!

Chilly Softball Night

Travis had a fall league softball game tonight

& boy was it a cold one.
It was 42 degrees at 6:30pm, so I was a bundled fan.
The guys won - so it was a successful night!
(If it gets any chillier I am not sure I am going to make it at these night games!)

Starbucks Date Night

Manhattan is starting to get chilly - & Travis is finally off of his emergency rotation so we decided to go on one of our favorite dates. We put on our sweatshirts and headed over to Starbucks!!!
We shared a a late night venti ,White Chocolate Mocha & each other's company in the homey-coffee aroma. Good Times.

HSM 3

I saw the movie 'High School Musical 3' on opening day

with my friend Lauren - & we loved it!

We waited in a long line outside the theater with mothers and their children for about 25 minutes (well worth it).

The movie was fab-u-lous! Go see it girls!
