Happenings from October
The Windy City
Steve and I went to Chicago to visit my family and to get some wedding stuff done. We went to the reception hall twice, survived a Bridal Expo, met with three photographers, two florists, and a DJ. We had our first of three sessions with my parents' pastor. We also got to spend a day in downtown Chicago with the Fam, saw my sister's new apartment, walked along the lakefront, and visited Lincoln Park Zoo. We took family photos and engagement pictures, which I can't wait to see. We got to see most of my favorite Illinois people between an engagement party for Meghan and Mark and a dinner party at my house. And we spent as much time as possible with my grandparents. It was a good trip.
Here, have some pictures:
Inexplicable Injury
I somehow hurt my hip. Like, bad. Tears bad. I have no explanation or earthly idea of what could have caused this injury, as I simply woke up Saturday morning with a dull ache which turned into shooting pain over the course of the day, and hasn't gone away. I suddenly feel much older than my not-quite-thirty years. Oy.
Artistic Gourding
Last night was a pumpkin carving party at Ryan and Jessie's. So much fun! We watched Beetlejuice and Gen, Steve, and I ended up carving on a theme. Can you tell what it is?
