Big Update

So I've been kind of bad about posting on here since things are so hectic. I tend to be better about keeping up with my Sharks blog because it kind of requires it where as this blog is kind of used for things as they happen which doesn't always mean I'm on top of it.

This update will include the last month of things happening in our life.  

 The first update is that Charlie is full on walking now. She has taken off and doesn't want to be lowed down. We got her a new pair of shoes one night at Target and once she had them on, there was no more sitting in the cart that night. She wanted to walk!



The next grouping of photos is from our trip to the Pumpkin Patch. I decided to take off work one day so we could have a family day!

so ready to go

Giant Pumpkins make for a great place to rest from all the walking

 The other big thing that has happened in the last month is that I went on a work trip to Utah with Emily! We learned a lot and went to a lot of great advising related sessions but at night, we had a little fun and explored.

I started by getting 2 new piercings (1 set).

the 5th from the bottom is new (I had it done on both ears)

 The next thing I did was get my Celtic Motherhood knot tattoo.

The coloring here is off since that's the night it was done.

 It was the first time I had truly been away from Charlie without the capability to just drive back home and see her. It was tough but definitely needed. I hate being away from her but this trip as a whole was a great way to refocus both professionally and personally.

That's pretty much the update for the last month. I'm working on getting Halloween stuff finished/ready and I'm excited for the fall/winter months ahead!
