1. halloween week was incredible, as always. we carved pumpkins, made caramel apples (always an adventure with high school girls), and dressed up as Ron and Ginny Weasley (for a non-costume dinner).
2. our smoke alarm situation: our smoke alarm's favorite thing to do is go off. it loves to fill the house with incessant beeping when there is a hint of smoke from the kitchen, the oven is over 300 degrees and opened and apparently, when you turn the heat on. Last week it was in the 30's here in birmingham and so, naturally, i decided to use the central heating in our apartment. the smoke alarm went off and rather than deal with it, i just turned the heat back off. we went without it the whole week and now its warmed up outside so there's no need. while shivering wrapped in blankets i just thought about how much money we would save. . . it helped.
3. vulcan run: last saturday sara and i completed 6.2 miles of pure running fun. actually, the elevation increases dramatically the middle 2 miles which made it not so fun. I will say, however, there is little that compares to the feeling of pride and accomplishment of running so far and, for my puny little legs, so fast. Plus, my husband came to cheer me on. That was sweet.
4. My new blog link. You may have noticed that i posted a new link to a new blog. Click on it. It will change your life. You may be wondering, "how does emily know these little new york children in the chorus of ps22?" I don't. I have no idea who they are but i saw a video of them singing a version of "there" by the innocence mission and started checking their blog all the time. Watch them sing, it will make you so happy
And there it is, my update. Pictures to hopefully follow and more updates on fall. I love this season, i'm pretty sure its my favorite.
