Halloween 2008

For Halloween this year we kind of celebrated twice. The weekend before was my friend Erin's birthday. Her husband threw her a costume party with a haunted prom theme. Jamie was going to be out of town so I had decided to go as Carrie (from the horror movie). At the last minute Jamie decided to stay, so he threw together a random costume.







Then, on actual Halloween, we were invited to our friends and neighbors house. We of course left finding costumes to the last minute so... we went to Target and got the last 2 costumes they had (which happened to be kids costumes). I was the girl from Harry Potter, and Jamie was some kind of a knight. Maggie and Cass (who's house we were at) were Ugly Betty and a barrel of monkeys. There was also Wayne and Garth, and a few more people. It was a lot of fun!

Jamie turns 31!

here are a few pictures of Jamie's birthday. We didn't do anything too big, just had dinner with friends on Saturday, hung out on Monday, and went out to dinner on the actual day (Tuesday).

Amanda The Great

I just wanted everyone to know that Amanda gave me a wonderful Birthday yet again.
I am so lucky to have her.
Pictures coming soon.

Lynd's Fruit Farm

Last weekend we went to Lynd's Fruit Farm to pick apples and pumpkins. It is kind of out by where we work. We had been wanting to go for a while and were hoping to get a group together, but it was just too hard to align so many schedules. So we went alone and had a great time! They grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables. You can pick different things throughout the year. And they also have a market (which was packed!) where they sell everything super cheap. We hit the market and then went picking!

Pseudo Engagement Pictures

While we were home about a month ago my mom had arranged to fulfill a dream she's had for most of my life, to take a family portrait. Her good friend Paul Baker took the photos of us a Will Rogers Park. It was surprisingly a lot of fun and we are all so glad that we did it. While we were there Paul took some of just me and Jamie. They turned out great, here are a few:
