Last night I told SO I really need a break when this quarter is over. We already have a NJ/NYC Christmas trip planned to visit his family, but we are also going to now try to squeeze in a weekend trip somewhere warm (CA? FL?) in early Dec! weeee! He also said if he can't get off work I can still go with friends.
I am SO EXCITED!
What is on your horizon? Any cool trips? Special events?
My BF and I are going to KC in a couple of weeks so that we can go to the haunted houses there. We are haunted house fanatics, and the ones in Omaha blow.
Pumpkin picking in my hometown with one of my best friends from high school and her husband and baby this weekend. I LOVE my hometown in the fall.
New Order concert later this month.
Weekend trip to Philly later this month.
My husband wants to start planning our Boxing Day bar crawl, but I think that's a bit premature...
We need to figure out something for the winter trip-wise (debating between warm trip and cold trip), but we're going to go to Spain next spring. And my other best friend, who lives in Europe, is having a baby in April, so I guess I'll be going there to visit her too!
All but one of my law school girlfriends are coming to visit in 9 days! We are going to my family's beach house on Lake Michigan. I can't wait to spend a weekend with them. As an added benefit, it'll be my husband's first weekend alone with our daughter. I think it will be a good experience for both of them, since they are both pretty reliant on me.
My sister, BIL(H's brother), H's friend, and two other friends are all in town this weekend and we're going to a great Oktoberfest in our neighborhood. It should be a blast!
I'm going to a Redskins game on Sunday with my sister.
We got Nationals playoff tickets for next week. I hope the game happens.
I just got to get through my 20-mile run Sat morning and this fun week can begin!
Trying to be positive, just need to live through next 2 only holidays family celebrates without going insane over politics. Sticking to our rule this year though, no gifts for anyone but nieces.
We're going to the OBX next week. We usually go in the summer but this year we had a baby in July and we wanted her to be a bit older and STTN.
Not sure what the weather will be like but DH's entire family is coming along so I'll have a lot of help with the kids. At the very least, it'll be a nice break for me (since it's all about me, lol).
Where I might be in the next month? Everything is so uncertain right now.
I am excited that SO, barring any major problems, will FINALLY be able to come to a major holiday with my family. He's usually scheduled to work Thanksgiving night in preparation for Black Friday, but not this year! I'm so FREAKIN EXCITED!

We don't have any trips planned (I wish) but I'm really starting to look forward to the holidays. There are always so many fun activities this time of year for the kids. I think DH and I have just as much fun as they do.
Disney World in December! And I'm excited for Christmas, because DS will be two, and he's starting to get excited about things. I know he's going to be like a little crazy man opening presents!

It's supposed to be chilly down here that week, I'm about a hour and a half from the OBX.
I'm looking forward to my 4 day weekend!! Friday is our first baby u/s and I can't wait to see the little blob! We're also going to the local pumpkin farm and a comedy show this weekend.
Being done unpacking the house, pictures hung, everything put away. The painters done and pool completed. My parents coming for a first visit to our new home. My niece's graduation from TX A&M in December. Family being together for graduation and then our first Christmas in the new house.
We normally always take a vacation in October, but we aren't this year because of DH's job. I'm still sulking over it. This is the first year we haven't taken a 7+ day October vacation in years. I should be packing right now! Argh.
We'll be around NOLA to see DH's family the week of Thanksgiving. It's good that they live so close to so many great places that serve alcohol. If I were stuck with them in a dry county in the bible belt, I'd probably gouge my eyes out.
We are considering a long weekend somewhere in December but I don't know where.
This weekend! This work week has been hell already. Seeing my parents in 3 weeks in Minneapolis. I don't think I have seen them since last Xmas? Hawaii in January! Very excited for that.
Going apple picking with another mentor and our mentees on Columbus Day. Doing a food tour of the North End on Saturday. Dinner with my girls tomorrow. Our big work event to be done. 2 more weeks!

DH is retired military and we can hop on any military cargo type plane if there is room for free. There is a 3 day trip to Anchorage Alaska in three weeks and we are going to go if we can get on. I have always wanted to see the northern lights. Kind of crazy to travel that far for 2 days on the ground but hey- free flight!
We're going to the Redskins game on Sunday too :-) It's our big annual game with friends. One couple, the husband is likely deploying again soon and they'll probably get transferred to Okinawa so it's probably the last time we'll see them for a few years.
If you can swing going to visit, I highly recommend it. Okinawa is gorgeous and you can see other parts of Japan on the way in or out!
