October is my favorite month, and not just because of my birthday, but because of the way it feels and smells and looks. There are pumpkins by the doors, the leaves change colors, it feels cooler outside, AND starbucks serves their pumpkin spice lattes. Everything feels warm and cozy and snugly (is that a word?). Of course, in Hawaii this is not really the case, BUT i like to pretend this is the case, and i have a pretty vivid imagination so this works out pretty well for me.
I get all bundled up and go to the movies, where they have the A/C kicking, and wear my fall clothes and pretend the leaves are changing colors, which actually some of them do, although they'll be blooming again next week, but whatever. Then I walk to the commissary with my pumpkin spice latte and buy as many pumpkins as i can to decorate my house with, and i bake as many pumpkin recipes as i can to serve to my friends. I'm learning it's what you make of things, what you make of life, you can really learn to be happy anywhere, you just have to be a little creative sometimes!
Yet, I am a little sad October is almost over, and i'm even more sad i haven't blogged for the entire month, because honestly, we've been up to sooo much! I guess i'll just have to fill you in with some pictures, and maybe November i'll do a better job of keeping up. Oh, and by the way, we finally got internet at our house, YAY!!! Now i have NO excuses!!
Tim surprised me with the perfect gift: an organized, surprise birthday weekend. He knows i love surprises, but he also knows i love order and organization. So he made me a notebook with a timeline for the whole weekend, and i got to choose what events we did. It was the perfect birthday weekend and such a sweet surprise! Of course the weekend included shopping and the cheesecake factory!
I love birthday presents!! Thanks to everyone for their thoughtfulness and love!
Tiger loved all the presents my Mom sent me via mail...he loves to eat the boxes! Thanks Mom!

How is it that Jenny and Sarah KNEW that was a Tiffany's box???? I just thought it was a pretty blue box with a ribbon!
October, November, and April are my FAVORITE months, because the people I Love the MOST were born in the months!
I can't wait for Christmas to get here!
I think its safe to say that Tim is a keeper :)He did an excellent job making you feel so loved on your b-day! Can he send my husband some tips via email???? You are really getting good at that cooking stuff, my mouth is watering looking at those ribs! Love ya~
Hi Melissa! This is Brandi's cousin, Amanda. I know this is a way late response, but I couldn't help myself! I am an October baby too and I couldn't agree more! I love reading your blog and Jenny's, they are both so very encouraging to me. Although Jennys made me cry this morning. :)
