my 300th post!

we've been pretty busy so tonight we decided we needed some "us" time before michael started back on his school work (which he's doing now while i blog).  he took me to a mexican place up the street... and refused to take pictures. our waiter kept calling us "me amigos" in a strong accent... it was great.  then, we sat outside with millie for a while and just enjoyed the nice (warm) fall evening.  the leaves are starting to change!  our neighborhood is pretty quiet besides hearing some kids laugh, a couple of dogs bark and people talking as they walk by.  it's SO much better than living downtown hearing people yell because they are pretty much drunk at every hour of the day or weird irish music like our old neighbor listened to, loudly.

  5. Sounds like a lovely day! And it definitely sounds better than downtown life.

    I keep seeing people posting about pumpkin cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and other treats and I really wish I had the patience for baking!

  6. I've been wanting to make some of those pumpkin cookies! I found a recipe the other day. But I made pumpkin muffins, and now I am waiting on the the loaf!
    It would be fun to hang out with you! We have some of the same friends, which is pretty cool. :) Like Karissa and Erin!
