October started with General Conference and the month just went uphill from there! Eliza, Joseph, and I visited Ohio for two weeks to say goodbye to Caroline before she leaves for mission to California. We had a fun-filled two weeks of frozen yogurt, used bookstores, a trip to Nauvoo, cousin/best friend/Nana fun, the pumpkin festival, Kings Island, and a surprise party for Eliza and Caroline.
I love love Nauvoo and this time around I thought the Sarah Kimball and Wilford Woodruff homes were especially neat. Caroline and I had a giggle fit during Rendezvous (we finally stopped) and we did a session in the temple. It was a perfect little retreat.
I spend most of the month revising the second Knotty Pine book and revising another little story I'm working on. I also got a flier out to hopefully start freelance tutoring soon!
We had a Halloween birthday party for Eliza and had some of our best friends stay with us overnight. We laughed till late and our kids played at the party the next day. We did a Scooby book reading, pin the Scooby snack on Scooby's mouth, and a showing of Scooby Doo!
We ended the month with trick or treating. We're lucky to begin the Thanksgiving/Christmas festivities with our fun neighbors. Eliza, Joseph, and I spent the morning yesterday eating soup and listening to Christmas music at our neighbor's. We're ready!
