Happy Fall!

Today, we bought five pumpkins and a bale of hay from the church's pumpkin patch.  (Actually, Christine's parents ended up buying the hay bale, so thanks!)  We put them outside our apartment today and we'll carve the tall one in the back later on.  Pretty sweet, eh?  We haven't decided on the scene to carve, so if you have a suggestion, there's still time to get it in!

While we were at the pumpkin patch, we put all our pumpkins in a wagon, then wagoned them to my trunk.  On the way to return the wagon, Jay pulled the wagon with me in it.  It.  Was.  Awesome.  Remember how you used to do that as a little kid and laugh and shriek in delighted terror when the puller went too fast?  Still true today.  I highly recommend it.  :D

Since our bikes have been moved out, we've moved our printer cart (and thusly, our printer), giving us a bunch more room in there.  SUPER glad to have the space, because now I can tackle all my homework from the kitchen table.  Woo!

I'm sure you don't know this, so I'll tell you: UNT had its homecoming yesterday.  For the first time ever, I went to a UNT football game... for the last time ever.  I went with Jay and two girls from my classes and one of the girls' fiance (and then his brother joined us).  We got to the game late (because we were at Fuzzy's Taco Shop watching the Rangers win!!  WOO!) and it was already 3-10 to FIU (Florida International University).  By the time we left in the fourth quarter, it was 3-34.  As we left, UNT scored a touchdown, but that's as far as the score progressed.  UNT lost its fifth game of the season, or something like that.  I even brought my pompom and rowdy towel, but there was just no helping that team.  When we got home from the "game," Jay and I watched 30 Rock, drank slushes from Sonic, and then went to bed. 

Something else happened yesterday: I went to two stores and came out with more money than when I entered--both times.  Yeah.  I returned some things we didn't need, and then didn't buy anything, even though we looked around.  Awesome, right?  Today... that wasn't the case.  But who cares?  I had a great day yesterday.  :)

In the upcoming week I'll be a bridesmaid in a wedding, and I'm very excited about that!!  Maya and Derek will finally get married, and I'm super thrilled to be there!  Yesterday, I was asked by a different friend to be a bridesmaid in June!  It's so awesome and exciting!!  Hooray for married people!

Speaking of married people, this married couple is about to go to a dance lesson (even though we know the dance already).  Hope y'all have a good one.
