October in Review

Happy November! Here is a brief recap of our October:

I mentioned last post that I resigned from my job. My co-workers organized an "Emancipation Party" with an evite and all! They took me to one of my favorite restaurants, In the Raw.

My parents have season tickets to the OSU football games and between working UCO games, Chris' landscaping schedule, etc. we hadn't been to a single game all season. For the OSU Homecoming game, my sister got an all access pass to take pictures of the game from the sidelines! Huge honor. How cute is this:

That was some serious equipment she was lugging around all day.

Here is a family picture of us tailgating.. (& freezing our patooties off)

Chris is STILL not wearing orange to games. He is making baby steps though. When OSU scored, I caught him participating in the "waving wheat" celebration. That's more of a giant leap than a baby step for an OU fan, I guess.

In the world of baby news... I'm not sure if' I've mentioned this or not, but BOTH of my sisters-in-law are pregnant. Ashlee is due in February with a little GIRL. Maggie is due in May. Last week she called with a fun little "project" for Ashlee and I to work on. Unannounced to everyone, they found out the sex of the little baby Belden. She asked us to get the appropriate color balloons to give to her parents (my in-laws) to tell them the exciting news. this is how it went...

Such a fun thing to get to share with the family. We're so excited to meet this little guy in May. This was the card attached to the balloons..

Every Halloween, we go over to Scott & Ashlee's to hand out candy and let the guys watch football. This year was Superhero themed.

Batgirl, Robin & a pregnant Wonder Woman

My sister (aka Cat Woman)

The cutest "Night hawk" I've ever seen. HA.

And last but not least... this weekend is our 1 year anniversary!!! I CANNOT believe it has already been one year. This will have to be a post in itself, because my sweet husband has planned a secret/surprise "getaway" for the weekend. He's had it planned for quite some time now and I am always impressed with how well he is able to keep secrets. Everyone that we know, knows the plan and I have not heard one peep. Impressive. Chris is so sweet and thoughtful and I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve. :) He did tell me earlier this week that we are flying out of OKC really really early Friday (tomorrow) morning. Really really early as in 4:45 in the morning! I also know that wherever we are going is really cold, so I am supposed to pack accordingly. More to come on this "Destination Unknown" later. :)

Have a great weekend! I know I will. :)
