How is it November already?!?!

[linkupwithnatasha]

Am I the only one asking that question?!?! I can't believe October has come and gone and we are at the start of November. This last part of the year has just flown by and we're almost to 2014....good golly wolly! Anyway, it's 'Friiiiiiiiiiiiday, Friiiiiiiiiiiday, time to link up on Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiday'!

1] I dressed up as my husband for Halloween! Yes, I know what you are thinking, 'man this newlywed girl is so cheesy' and I would have to agree. But, in my defense we had a work party on Wednesday and I needed a comfortable and work appropriate costume. Being that my husband played baseball all his life and a few years in the minors, stealing one of his baseball uniforms made sense to me. Everyone at work and on facebook loved the costume and I have to say I think I rocked it pretty well, what do you think?!

2] Treats on treats on treats! For said work party I chose to bring in desserts and after perusing pinterest channeled my inner Martha Stewart for some festive treats. They were all super simple and tasted really good too. I'll be posting the recipes next week, so stop back by if you get the chance!

Sweet&Salty Candy Corn Bites, Witches Hat cookies, Clementine pumpkins, Banana& Chocolate Chip Ghosts

3] Blissful happiness! - That was me last week. I was driving home from grabbing lunch on a beautiful autumn afternoon. The sun was shining through the sun roof, the air was brisk and the classical music on the radio was divine. The strands of Pachelbel's Canon in D brought a huge smile to my face as I remembered my wedding day. I was suddenly overcome with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy regarding where my life is at this juncture. I'm married to an amazing man, my wedding was perfect to me, I have a job, a home, a loving family and am financially stable enough to splurge on things I enjoy. I may not 'have it all' but I truly do have 'all I need' and that is such a blessing.

4] It's the Holiday season! And I'm so excited! You can dislike me all you want for being excited already, but I begin thinking and celebrating Christmas after Halloween. Always have, always will, but if you choose not to that's A-OK in my book. I'm 23048230483 kinds of excited for my first MARRIED COUPLE Christmas and am already looking into our FIRST Christmas cards. EEEK! I can't wait, we are going to be sooooo official this year, YAY! And yes, I AM listening to Pandora Christmas stations already...you should be too ;)!

5] NOLA next week! WOW! I feel like we JUST got back from our kickball tournament in Vegas and next week we have our LAST tournament of the year in NOLA. Craziness I tell you, but exciting craziness. I can't wait to devour some beignets from Cafe du Monde and enjoy all the sights and sounds of Nola again. I really love the city and am looking forward to doing some more exploring. Hopefully this year the tournament outcome will be better than last years. I'm super bummed we aren't leaving for a cruise though. Siiiiiiiiiigh, guess I'll just have to wait until our summer cruise to Europe for our honeymoon. :)

YUM! JUST YUM!

That's it for this week loves, I hope that you have a FABULOUS DAY!!

Drop down and get your eagle on........
