Happy Halloween!

October has been a busy month - we've had the StepDaughter nearly every weekend, and that always keeps us hopping! Last Friday we took her to the Halloween Pumpkin Patch Carnival and she quite enjoyed that, they had a dance floor for the kids and everything, it was quite cute to watch her dance. If only there weren't so many of those scary skeletons around! She is quite afraid of skeletons for some reason, and of course, that seemed to be every boy's costume of choice. She was quite upset they wouldn't take off their costumes for her, hahaha. Trick or treating tonight will be fun!

I think we have figured out what we want to use as centerpieces for the wedding, and it will only cost about 1/4 of what we budgeted for, so that is GREAT. Something under budget for once, amazing, I know! I am still waiting for the papers to start making the invites, I am quite frustrated with the whole process. I wish cross border online shipping was just.. better. 90% of the time it works, and it's fantastic, but then that one time that a parcel goes missing, well, it sucks.

Other than that, life is alright. We both seem to be in a "rut" right now and that kind of needs to change... but we're working on it and that is all that matters! The changing from summer / fall to winter always sucks. I need snow tires.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow. I don't even have an excuse for not posting in the last two months. Can I use wedding planning as an excuse? Probably not. *pout*

Anyways, yes, wedding planning! It is well underway, the date, venue, DJ, photographer, and most importantly, the dress are all picked / purchased / deposited. Saturday June 28 at a local golf course in Penticton, for those of you wanting to know! I could go on and on and on, but, I won't. Hee hee.

Other than that, life as usual. I swear to god, no matter how hard you try to get out of debt, something else rises up and kicks you in the ass. It's kind of frustrating, just how much money life costs. Money might not buy happiness, but it sure as hell buys stability, and I could sure use some more of it. Also, I am addicted to Ikea right now. Someone stop me.

Finally, my congratulations to Z and her family, who will be welcoming a new addition to the family next spring! YAY!
