1. Well, I love today because it comes right after yesterday. And last night, we had the absolute best time! I've mentioned that I love my friends and am certain they were sent to me straight from God for such a time as this. Anyway, we had a last minute bonfire/ marshmellow roast/ and pumpkin carving fall party at my crib. Brittany made hot cocoa, Dusty and Bry and Sammy made a fire in the fire pit [borrowed from brother Stu], and Kelly, Emily, and Sarah brought beautiful orange pumpkins.
The fire was perfect! Emily insisted we play Chubby Bunny; Sammy and Katherine were great sports and competed for our entertainment. After that, the carving began. Not gonna lie, carving is plain tough.

But of course, that didn't steel our fun.
2. Another reason I love today is this. I woke up early and got a little crafty. Inspired by this photo that Brittany shared with me....

| Britt- do you have photo cred for this? |
I did two separate designs [as you can see] but i think this will be absolutely beautiful next to that plum wine wall, huh? I'll show you pics after the install!
3. Next, I got to have a wonderful catch up lunch at Panera today with my long lost friend Emily [Allen] from back in the day. It was perfect and a breath of fresh air and encouragement!
4. Then, I scored a free Pumpkin Spice Latte from sbux [Venti no less!!!] from the super sweet sales lady...

Hey Sarah!
ReplyDeleteWe were carving pumpkins again today for a big halloween hospital party tomorrow and I learned 2 cool things about carving pumpkins i wanted to share! 1- put Vasaline all around the places you cut out. It holds in the moisture and keeps your pumpkin looking pretty longer. 2- Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on the inside of your pumpkin. When you light the candle, it smells incredible! It fills your whole house!
