8 Things that happened yesterday

1. Took the girls to story time at the library
2. Learned some new songs for ward choir
3. Went to Walmart (Oh Target! How I miss you!)
4. Took a too-short nap
5. Tried to convince my baby to stay in a little (or a lot) longer. Apparently it worked.
6. Made delicious Artichoke Dip and then proceeded to eat 1/3 of it by myself. Yummy! I'll share the recipe another day.
7. Sat around the rest of the day with contractions and other such nonsense
8. Learned that a good friend of mine was killed. Definitely NOT the highlight of my day.

8 Things I look forward to

1. January 21--or maybe January 7 if I can convince the dr to induce me that early. We'll see.

3. Kasey's week off (Let's just say it's been a long week so far)
4. paying off student loans and car
5. I always look forward to payday.
6. Thanksgiving trip
7. Twilight, the movie
8. My sister's wedding in May
   

8 Things I love about fall

1. warm days, cool nights
2. It's the beginning of evenings curled up on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book.
3. Playing in the crunchy leaves. The girls and I go to preschool early every day just so we can kick the leaves.
4. Hunting Season--I obviously don't love this, but Kasey does. I love that he gets to do something he loves.
5. Breaking out all my sweaters
6. I hardly cook/bake during the summer. It's way too hot!! I love fall because it's cool enough to start cooking/baking again. Cookies, cakes, soups, rolls. . .yum!
7. My favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, is in the fall.
8. So is my birthday.
   

8 Things on my wishlist

1. money to pay off bills
2. a real bed--although I have to admit that after 6-1/2 years of marriage, we finally upgraded from cinder blocks under our mattress to an actual frame. No more stubbed toes for us!
3. a minivan. I know I have my Durango, but a minivan is so much more mom-friendly. With almost 3 kids, I appreciate anything mom-friendly.
4. a house. I'm so over living in an apartment.
5. I feel like I have a pretty good life, so there's not too many things on my wishlist.
6. Maybe one day I'd like to have cable again. I know! I keep talking about it, but it's just not a priority right now.
7. I would also like some new pans.
8. And maybe a few more things from Pampered Chef, but I need more space before I can buy the fun stuff.
