My Magical Birthday

By: Shelsy

For those of you who don't know, my birthday was Monday. Ryan worked in the morning and he wished me happy birthday before he left at 5am (I didn't even remember it was my birthday that early in the morning!). Then I got some happy birthday calls from family, which I always look forward to. :-)

Our Severe Weather Day

By: Shelsy



So, in follow up to yesterday's post, I have to admit that the weather is actually a little bit of a big deal. Today and tomorrow are supposed to see the lowest temperatures on record since the 50's. Still, I don't believe it calls for a Severe Weather Alert, and we were cracking up when one weather lady described it as "frigid and frosty."

Ryan and I went outside this morning around 8:30 or 9 and sat there in our hoodies drinking coffee and it was a bit chilly. I got really excited about it though, since autumn is my favorite season and I do miss a bit of the fall weather. So we took full advantage of it. I actually got to wear one of the many long sleeve maternity shirts I was given, and I even wore a sweater over it.

In the afternoon we went to the park. It was so beautiful. We hadn't been to this particular park yet and we really liked it. We walked around the lake about 4 times and I took a ton of pictures.

We got a couple of pumpkins that we'll probably carve tomorrow, in which case I might try roasting the seeds again. Tonight we're going to have some leftover chili and snuggle up to watch It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown with caramel apples and popcorn.

It's the perfect fall day!
