Happy Birthday!!!!

...to my hubby! He's the BIG 35 today! Wow, how'd we get that old? Actually, I'm NOT that old yet. How did HE get that old already? We were talking about this the other day and we both agreed that every year gets better...we wouldn't go back to any prior years - so, that being said...I guess we're actually thankful for our age! Anyway, Minerva's is where we decided to go for supper - YAHOO! That's a special day in itself!

BABY NEWS
Well, I went in for an ultrasound today so I could have my first round of artificial insemination this afternoon and low and behold, I have a huge cist on my right ovary. UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! This is SO not the month to have another complication. Anyway, the procedure was cancelled and they will try again next month. Also, if you think of it, please pray for me that the cist does not twist and actually goes away on it's own. It's more than a little scarey! Thanks a TON!

PUMPKIN PATCHYesterday was a remarkable day that started out by going to the pumpkin patch in Black Hawk. It was the first time Nathan has ever been to one (maybe my first time too). It was the most beautiful fall morning that you could ever imagine...and the setting was more than perfect! We had so much fun! Thanks to all of you that met us there! It was a treat!
Of course, I had to buy MORE pumpkins...how could you go there and not buy any?! They are absolutely beautiful! They were just right when added to our entry way!

TREE
Every year I ooooohhhhh and awhhhhhhh over this more-than-STUNNING tree that happened to be on our way to Nathan's preschool the past 2 years...and now we are lucky enough to live within a couple miles of it! Its beauty never ceases to amaze me. It seriously is breathtaking!!!! Anyway, we were just heading home from the pumpkin patch and I decided that I should take a few pics of it to share and always remember. (The owner of the house was outside and was totally fine with me taking the pics...and a bit flattered that I loved it so much!) I wish I would have asked her what kind of tree it is...I have to have one!
