1. They're baaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkkkkkk - and I'm as thrilled as I always am:
2. The official countdown is on. If I'm being honest, its been on since I finished the book, but now? It's really on because we're actually in the month of release. Hubby is understandably psyched at the prospect of getting early tickets and arriving an hour before start time to ensure good seats. Need a little inspiration? Here you go!
3. We're headed to Kentucky in less than 2 weeks for a wedding that promises to be a good time. Also? It means family time, I get to see BFF for the second time in a month, and - perhaps most fun of all - it's going to be a small doggie play extravaganza. Look for adorable pics of the boys with their girlfriend Sadie Lady and a new friend Ollie.
4. The holidays are coming - I can already feel the excitement building. And plans are forming in my head: plans that include ice skating, decking the Casa Carretta halls, watching Love Actually, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation & The Family Stone until Hubby forbids one more viewing, driving to surrounding 'hoods to get my fill of holiday goodness, neighborhood events like our annual holiday stroll and the Southport Lights evening of yummy wine and shopping deals, visits to Santa Paws, shopping and more.
5. Number 4 means an abundance of family time: first with MIL for Turkey Day and then a full week with the Brock's over Christmas. We're going to eat. And drink. And ski. And talk. And eat some more. And drink a lot. It's going to be awesome. And I think I might take another crack at the giving thanks series - because I have so much to be thankful for.
Here's hoping the excitement is contagious: what's on your list?
