Ah...October

Talk about an exciting month!

Really, the only downside to October is the ugly page on the calendar. Don't deny it. Don't try to make me feel better. I've lived the ugly calendar page for TWENTY SIX YEARS!!! It's so disappointing. What is the first thing one does when purchasing a new calendar? Flip through to make sure you like all the pages...ESPECIALLY your birthday month. And I'm willing to bet that, more often than not, October is a downer.

This is really bringing back some pent up feelings.

But you know it's true. Every other month gets such nice artwork. And October is always stuck with one of the following:

-a witch
-a jack o' lantern
-some kid in an ugly costume
-skulls

And Mary Engelbreit is no exception (as you witnessed above).

ANYWAY.

As I was saying, October is an exciting month!

Not only will Seth and I be turning 26 (the 10th and 14th people...mark your ugly October Halloween calendar pages)...but we will also be finally having our baby! Well, I will be having him. Seth will be observing. Hopefully not from the hospital bed next to mine.

In addition, A&M has the potential to win FIVE more football games, we'll be one month closer to Christmas, Starbucks will surely come out with their red cups, and don't even get me started on the cool, brisk, fall temperatures that are sure to accompany the new month.

Ladies, whip out that velour!

I also decided that, unless our 2nd child is also born in October, he will undoubtedly feel left out when the other 3 of us are celebrating our birthday month. It's kinda sad if you think about it. Perhaps we can have him/her share February with Maggie or something.
