October 1Oth Matters

I gotta tell you this really is my favorite time of year. It used to be because of my birthday in September and Halloween (I loved dress-up as a kid). Then my Dad died in October and it became a hard time of year. The day he died Gary had stopped on the way home from work to buy a pumpkin at a roadside stand. It was in the dark ages before cell phones. I'd come home between classes to work on a paper when I got the call. I sat holding myself together waiting for him to come home. In he walked with a huge smile and this cute little pumpkin to surprise his new bride (we'd been married less than 5 months). It has become a treasured family tradition that we get our pumpkins every year on October 10th. It's been 19 years and I still miss him terribly, but this has helped me share my dad with my children, honor him, and have a happy activity to look forward to on this day every year. Love ya Dad! Love ya Gar! ...and yes that is me...many, many, many years ago :D

Weekend Update...more reasons I loved it!

Gary has waited for this day for many, many years....Going to Priesthood session with his sons...we brought an extra son...his dad is currently deployed to Texas so we had the pleasure of stealing him for the weekend.

ps As you can see Zac is into bow ties...if anyone has a drawer full of ones they'd like to get rid of feel free to send one his way. We can't find any locally.

For my sisters...hope you're proud...I got out my fall decorations and did a couple of "set ups". love ya! Yea!!!! it's fAll!
