Well it looks like fall is finally here. It is 50 degrees with a brisk wind and the leaves are turning and falling. After the stifling heat and humidity of a Georgia summer, it is a much welcomed change. I love fall, because it reminds me that Christmas is coming soon, and Christmas is my favorite time of year! But,oh, once again, how I hated to get out of bed this morning. Brent got up at about 5 a.m. and turned the heat on, and we were snuggled under a chenille blanket when the alarm went of at 7:30 - UGH!!!!!!!
Brent went hunting this weekend, which gave me the opportunity to get my house immaculate and catch up on laundry - it was nice to have a weekend to myself, but I found myself missing him more than I ever did when we were dating. It is funny, I lived alone for several years and have only lived with Brent since April, but now I miss him SO when he is gone! He is leaving Tuesday night for the Soil Science Convention at NC State University in Raleigh. He'll be back home about midnight Thursday night. I'm not ready for him to leave again so soon!
Last night, we went to see a couple of friends that just had a new baby - precious baby Caroline. I can honestly say that was the most beautiful baby I have EVER seen - perfectly round head, clear pink skin, big baby blue eyes, and a full head of blonde hair. She was all wrapped in pink and had a Georgia Bulldogs passy. It seems like new babies are all around us lately, and it is REALLY giving me baby fever!
Needless to say, with Brent and I having some issues lately, it has not really been the most ideal time for me to get pregnant. But with the counseling and my Paxil and his Wellbutrin, things are finally starting to calm down and look up around our house. This makes me very happy! I think we are starting to get to a point where we are feeling more and more ready to start our own family. Oh how happy that would make me!
The neighborhood we live in is about 90% couples our age with small children. I am SO looking forward to seeing all of the little trick-or-treaters this year. We went to Kroger and spent about $60.00 on Halloween candy and a nice big pumpkin. Tonight we plan to build the first fire of the season and carve our pumpkin to put on the front porch.
Well, back to work for now. Take care everybody!

Oh, what fun to have a fire and to carve a pumpkin! We have a fireplace but for one reason or another, we don't make fires in it (partly because its so drafty when we do keep the flume open, it brings it lots of cool air). Enjoy your evening together!
Babies are so neat and so much fun; enjoy each other first and then think about adding to your family. Its just nice to have some alone time first, know what I mean?
betty
