We had a great weekend and are really looking forward to all that this week and November hold!
Our young married small group had a Halloween party earlier in the week and it was fun! George is experiencing so many new cultural things, Halloween may top them all. I've never been a huge Halloween person and didn't really grow up celebrating it, but I love parties and love costumes. George wasn't super into dressing up, so we took the easy way out and went as Heidi and Seal. ;) We carved pumpkins, which kind of grossed George out, ate Frito pie (and tons of desserts) and had punch with dry ice in it. ALL new for George! We both had a great time and love our small group.
On Friday, G and I had opposite work schedules-which I hate-so I took advantage of the alone time and went Birthday shopping for him. His B-day isn't until the 9th, but I wasn't sure when I could be sneaky again. I wrapped the gifts and put them in the living room so they would taunt him for a week and a half. Mean, I know. On Saturday evening he started jumping up and down and running around the apartment shouting, "I know what it, I know what it is!! Wow!! Thank you so much!!" Yep, he had figured one of the gifts out. So I let him open it early. George is the VERY PROUD owner of,
As Seen On TV Shake Weight!! He loves it so much it's funny!
One thing we did this weekend was a November Expectations meeting. As the holidays approach, I start a new job, and things get crazier with G's job, we wanted to make sure we were on the same page about everything. It was actually really fun to discuss everything coming up and make plans together.
Speaking of plans, since this Thanksgiving and Christmas are our first together, I really want to make them special and start meaningful traditions. I've been doing research and writing down all my favorite holiday things so I don't forget (nerd, I know). I was wondering what traditions my readers have or things they wish they had started or done their first married Christmas? I know not many of you comment, but I'd love to hear!
Happy NOVEMBER!!

How fun!!! You guys look great. I had told Joe about the shake weight. There was lots of laughter. hilarious!
One of the things we didn't regret about our first Christmas was that we did it together. Solo. We hung out in our pj's and or robes and just enjoyed the quiet. It was a wonderful start to many more Christmases !
