We had a great weekend. I miss it already. You know those days you have and you just know you'll just miss it? that was my entire weekend.
I stayed home from work Friday because of my wisdom tooth hurting so bad, and Austin was off because it was Nevada Day observance.. or something. So after sleeping in until 11 we went to pick up his car that was in the shop, and we dropped off a costume at my parents, then we tried to go Halloween costume shopping. I couldn't find anything that was decently made and didn't make me look like a street walker... and my husband is so picky so we aren't dressing up this year. I know, sad. Later Friday night we went to the movies and saw Bad Grandpa. Very funny. Johnny Knoxville is a favorite of mine, so of course this movie entertained me.
Saturday night we had a huge family dinner at my In-laws. It was like Thanksgiving, or Christmas, but it was for Halloween. My family came and pretty much my husbands entire family was there. Then we all went to the pumpkin patch. That place doesn't get old.
I love being able to look around and see everyone that I love so much all together. People say you don't get to chose your family, but you do. By marrying my husband I chose him, and I chose his family. I couldn't have chosen a better family to share my life with. I love them all so much.
I think since my mother in law knows my husband will be leaving soon for the Navy, she is trying to spend as much family time together as possible. We went to her house on Sunday and just hung out with her and the family all day. Its important to her not to lose him in any way, so I want them to spend as much time together before he leaves. Its important to me too.. I am close with them as well. Being away from our families will be difficult for us. I am making it a priority now, that once we are living somewhere else, that we see our family at least four times a year.
This is my husbands grandmother. She has been such a big part of our
lives, and I cannot believe how much she already feels like family!
The pumpkin that we chose at the patch. My mother in law bought
the lace pumpkin glove, and I was so excited to use it.
I made these really cute cupcakes this weekend for the family dinner.
Yes, they were a huge hit!
Trying on masks, none of which we actually bought! Ha!
