Halloween Weekend

So we had a somewhat uneventful Halloween weekend filled with multiple trips to Wal-Mart, studying, and painting. We did get a nice date-night dinner in there though at Ruby Tuesday's which was delicious!

Eric volunteered for the "Tiger Night for Fun" sponsored by Children's Hospital on Saturday, and he and his MHA friend Clayton dressed up as Power Rangers...
Unfortunately Eric won't let me share the pictures of him in the child-sized red Power Ranger costume... ;)





And then we woke up this morning to... a mouse. Of course, it's a Monday, too.

I walked into the bathroom this morning and a minute later, I see a black blur zip into the room. I jumped, let out a blood-curdling scream, and ran to the office to stand on the futon, and Eric leaped out of bed thinking I was dying. Needless to say, I spent the next 45 minutes locked in the bathroom sitting in the sink getting ready for work while Eric, the brave mouse hunter, searched up and down the entire apartment. Unfortunately, the mouse hid pretty well, so he hasn't been found. Hopefully maintenance will have trapped the guy by the time we get home in a few hours.

(In case you couldn't tell, I HATE mice, hate them. As well as fish, snakes, frogs, and other creatures of the like, too :) Luckily though, I have an AWESOME, Eagle Scout, dragon slaying, prince charming, (you get the point), husband who isn't afraid of those things! - THANK YOU ERIC!)

More to come later this week!

So much to share!

So apparently I'm slacking on the blogging again... :)
But at least that means one big update for today!

A lot has happened in the past week! First, and most importantly, my new brother-in-law Kent, and his {now fiance} Dreama got engaged! :) Congrats you two - we're so excited!!

{Dreama, I stole this from your FB page!}


Secondly, I have an Etsy store for my art business! I'm so excited and hope you'll take a minute to stop by! Check it out HERE

Eric and I had fun last weekend carving pumpkins. We drove 20 miles east of town to an awesome little farm to get them, too.







And here's the finished products! Obviously, I haven't been able to put down my paintbrushes lately... :)



And we finished off the day with a DELICIOUS dinner - Eric picked up a packet of McCormick Mojito Lime seasoning for chicken and it was AMAZING! You've got to try it!



More to come soon! :)
