Day 289: SWA Halloween


I am not a fan of Halloween, and I haven't been since I was a kid. I think it's the pressure of coming up with a costume. And truthfully, I've never been able to top my third grade costume when I went as Wednesday Adams and won first prize in the Steven Boyd Dance Company Halloween Costume Contest. That.was.awesome.

So while the rest of the Company is running around in costumes, watching the skits, and having fun, I'm working. With a bowl of candy on my desk. Not that anybody actually brings their kids to Flight Ops--the non-fun group of the Company. But just in case, I'm ready!

Day 288: Changes + Rangers


Yesterday, I abruptly changed my mind about The City Club. I took my dad to see it, and just suddenly realized it was not the venue for me. I'm just glad I realized it now and not during the tasting when it's too late!

So, today Brian and I toured The Adolphus again {he didn't go the first time, although we've both been there for other events before}. We both love it! I really truly think this is the one. Of course, no decision has been made yet........

After The Adolphus, we headed to a bar to watch Game 2 of the World Series. Sadly, the Rangers lost again. Really, really badly actually.

Day 287: Go Rangers!


The Rangers are in the World Series for the first time--ever. I first to TABC with friends and then the Loon with Brian to watch it. Unfortunately, things went downhill quickly, and the Rangers lost :(

Day 286: BOA


I saw this while driving tonight. That green light glowing in the background is the Bank of America building, which houses The City Club. Starting to think it'd be really cool to get married there! Love how you can always spot the BOA building!

Day 285: Wedding Failure


I experienced my first wedding failure today. This bad boy arrived in the mail, and I had big intentions for it! Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the hideous chili peppers actually stood off the statue (and weren't just painted on), so it looks like it's getting shipped back. Don't you worry, I'll find the perfect dachshund statue soon, and you'll see it in all its glory at my wedding!

Day 284: Keeks' Shower


Yay for Keeks and her upcoming wedding! Loved spending the day at her very first wedding shower--and taking this fab action shot. She has quite the large family, so I think it was definitely the largest family wedding shower I've ever been to! The food was delicious, and Keeks looked beautiful in her dress! Can't wait until the wedding in January :)

Day 283: Football


Today, Keeks woke me up at 8a.m. to tell me we were going to her nephew's football game. Um, seriously? He's 7. So this morning was spent at my first-ever peewee football game {is that still what it's called??}. And let me tell you, these parents are intense! Cow bells, football ribbon in their hair, cheering, yelling. I felt like I was at a college game! Well, except for the fact that nobody scored. Ever. Oh well--they sure are adorable in their uniforms!! And really--isn't that all that matters?
