So here it is.  The first week of November and it was sunny and 70 today…and supposed to be even nicer tomorrow.

I love it when it’s like this.  Sunny, warm, gorgeous fall colors everywhere and no kids or husband home to foul it for me.  The kids were at school and I managed to get the entire house cleaned.  That was quite the feat.  This place has been a crap hole for awhile now.  I hate that I have to work tomorrow night but oh well.

I’ve learned to be thankful that I have a job at this point (although with their seperation packets going out, that is also up in the air) and I will work as much as I can to try and get things paid off.

We are a month away from being caught up on all of our bills.  Then I can focus on getting some emergency funds into savings and then paying stuff off by the first of the year.  A little behind where I wanted to be but still not too bad.

My favorite time of year is coming and I cannot wait.  I was going to buy all new decorations for the Christmas tree this year but have decided to wait until the ones that I want go on sale after Christmas.  Then I can get them for half off…unless they go on sale for that before..then I’ll start picking them up then.  I’m excited, I have not had new tree decorations in 13 years.  Not a single bulb..only lights because they keep burning out on me.

I’m also husband-less for the night tonight and I’m glad.  I get to watch what I want on TV, sleep in the middle of the bed..and even read for awhile if I want to.  I really can’t ask for a better night.  Dinner is in the oven and the house smells like baked chicken..yum.

I’ve also gone over our wedding pictures (even though I found out my dad shorted us almost 100 of them) I have to pick 4 that I like the most so Nick and I can choose which ones we want blown up for the wall.  I’ll post my favs here and his when he chooses them.  We each get to choose 4…if any are the same, then those are a given..any others and we have to decide between them or split..however it works out.  I really do love our pictures…I wish some things would have been done differently, but who doesn’t.

Here are my pics for top 4…I think (man this was HARD to narrow down)

Number 2

Number 3

and Number 4

But then I think we should have some of family and the wedding party too.  I’m lost…I’ll never figure this out, or my head will explode trying.  Maybe I should just put it off for another few weeks and go back and look again with fresh eyes.

I just wanted to post something…to remember that the first week of November was not crappy, that it was sunny and beautiful, and I actually enjoyed it..guilt free!
