My husbandless weekend

My least favorite time of the year is here.

Hunting season. 

Besides the fact that I don't really care for hunting, the real reason I don't like it is because one or two weekends out of the year I lose my husband. 

I realize one or two weekends out of the year is nothing. 

But still... I don't love it. 

I had 3 whole days all to myself and here is how I spent them...

Friday night my friend Jessica and I decided to be spontaneous and drive down to Utah and go to Frightmares at Lagoon. 

I've never been to Frightmares but it was a lot of fun! 

They have people dressed up to scare you everywhere. 

I didn't realize that until a guy jumped out at us with a chain saw hahaha 

it was great. 

One of the funnest things we did while we were there was walk through this "fun house"

It was a trip, to say the least. 

The worst part of the trip was the drive home.... 

It was soooo long, we got lost, we were in stand still traffic because of construction (does Utah ever not have construction?), we had to drive in the middle of nowhere and almost hit one or two deer... We finally made it home around 1:45am!! 

It was definitely worth the drive though. We had lots of fun. 

Saturday I went to Super Saturday with my mom, grandma, and Jaylen. 

We did two crafts...

and I got lots of spray paint on my hands.

Not the first time that has happened haha. 

Here are the finished products....

Not the cutest things I've ever made... But they were only a few dollars each and it was fun being able to spend the morning with my family. 

The morning before Branden left we couldn't find my keys anywhere. Long story short, they were in the road and had been ran over a few times in the middle of the night. 

Well when they got ran over it broke my "clicker" (idk if that's the word but you know what I mean)

Saturday I went down to Honda to see how much it would cost to get a new one.

$75!!! SERIOUSLY?? Well I guess I'll just have to use my keys from now on. Wahh...

Sunday night finally arrived and lookie who is home :) 

Missed that face. 

The end. 

It seems that I have an obsession with taking pictures from this angle...

Anyway-- This was basically my weekend. 

I went to the doctor on Friday night because I was feeling sickish (what I thought was possibly a sinus infection). So, the doc prescribed me some antibiotics and this lovely nasal spray (gross), well ever since I went to the doctor and have been using the medicine I feel worse than I did before. It's awesome. Except not really. 

I caught up on my Vampire Diaries episode for the week... Does anyone else hate watching a TV series week by week? I would much rather be able to watch them back to back. Such a dilemma. Speaking of watching back to back, I finished the entire final season of Desperate Housewives this weekend. I obviously was very productive... 

What about you? Was your weekend as fun as mine?? 

Lately...

....it is beginning to be freezing outside

so quick morning runs to Double Shot are a must...

....I hosted Bunko at my house on Monday and made some delish

Better Than Sex Cake

I also made Taco Soup. Two surprisingly successful dishes (thanks to my mom for her recipes), because I normally am not great when it comes to cooking!

This is my favorite room in our house....

I'm kind of obsessed with that wall. Would it be overboard to say I want

to paint every room in chevron? Because I do. 

See those cute frames up there?? I bought those babies from DI and spray painted them.

$1 for each frame... bargain. 

I am kind of spray paint happy...

Did you know that spray paint is super sticky and does not just wash right off?

Ya me neither. 

What a pain.

I finally hung up the two canvases I made....

This wasn't the look I was going for in the beginning, but it works. 

So that's that. 

Lastly-- Let's talk about these slipper socks Branden got me for our anniversary. 

Besides the fact that they are huge, I love these things. 

They keep my feet stylish and warm.

Not to mention I think those are bats on them... and seeing as it is Halloween this month, they are very appropriate :)

So that's what has been going on lately with us (mostly me) ;]

October

BOO!

I'm sad to see September go... It was a good month!

But now we are in full swing for October and all of the upcoming holiday fun.

I love the fall weather but also am dreading the winter.

Basically, I hate snow. 

The end.

It's times like Halloween when I wish I had some cute little kiddies to dress up and take out trick-or-treating. Since we are all old and what not now... Someone needs to throw a Halloween party so we can dress up too! 

Speaking of kids... This is the month when my sister and her husband find out what the gender of their baby is! I'm telling you... I still think it's a girl, so when they find out it's a boy I will be shocked. I just have a feeling... We will see ;]

I'm sure you have all been dying to hear/see how my chevron wall turned out...

Well it is soooo cute! I was nervous, but it turned out really well. 

I haven't finished decorating so the pics will have to wait. 

Sorry about your luck!! 

What are you excited about for October? Besides the obvious...(Vampire Diaries)....
