Oktoberfest!
Although it is not caused by my strong German heritage, I am celebrating October. Perhaps I should state it more clearly as I am celebrating it no longer being September! That month was relentless with responsibilities and events at work and I'm so pleased to see it behind me. Granted, now I'm playing catch up with all the things that were left in the dust as I prepared for these special events but that is helping me get a feeling of buttoning up (as much as I can) around the office.
I'm also enjoying watching the combines roll across these wide expansive flat lands, clearing the thousands of acres of crops in the area. Each and every year it evokes so much emotion deep in my soul and this year is no exception. I am homesick for fall harvest! Leaves are starting to fall and I've already consumed some caramel apples and apple donuts. MMM...October! The only thing missing is a trip to a grape stomp to truly honor the month of October. Perhaps my friends and I can reestablish this tradition or a form of it in the future.
Finally, October brings our final countdown to parenthood. Ready or not, here we go!
That's my explanation for being so bad at blogging during the month of September. I hope I'm still celebrating October when the month comes to an end.

Okay, let me try this again without so many typos!! Combines in the field means deer hunting for my hubby (get him out of the house!); I miss the grape stomp, too! Did I tell you they're not having one this year. I'd like to think it's because they knew we couldn't come, but I think it's just because too many drunks attended and it was a liability issue. Big loss of revenue though! Hope we can chat soon. Have an awesome month!!
