We'll start with Saturday. Mom and I both got our hair done, and then we went to lunch at California Pizza Kitchen before driving to our friend Azalea's antique store. I have been trying to find these pumpkins with scripture on them, but had no luck. I did, however, find a Christmas present for my mother-in-law, so that was productive! Mom got a fun hat for a costume party, and I can't wait to borrow it! (See her blog for a cute picture of her in her outfit!) After hanging out with mom for a little bit, I went home and got ready for my next outing....Kristin & Alan's family & friend's barbeque night! Everyone was there, and I got to meet some of Ryan's coworkers so it was a super fun evening of hamburgers and yummy cake.
There were some prank jellybeans at the party, and they definitely kept us entertained for a while! The flavors looked like coconut, peach, etc, but they were actually vomit, earwax, baby wipes, boogers, etc. SO GROSS! Aaron was a trooper and tried them out for us.
the happy couple!!!
That evening, we met up with our Foundations class at the Arbors Nature Preserve (which is where we had our Fall portraits last year!) The turn-out was a little less than we expected, but of course we still had fun with Matt & Courtney, and we had some great conversation with our teachers, too. The fall leaves were finally changing, so that was super exciting!!
Later that evening, we went to Kristin & Alan's reception at Javier's in downtown. We had drinks and appetizers out on the patio and then went inside for an amazing dinner. There was a cute slideshow of them throughout the night, and they were so cute! We had an awesome time.
On Monday night, we had the Stewarts and the Johnsons over for dinner and to carve pumpkins. We had a BLAST!! I just love those guys :) The Lord has truly blessed us with amazing young married friends that support and love us and walk through the same stuff we're going through. It's amazing! We ate some fajitas (I made enough for an army), and then started carving our pumpkins. We took a break in the middle of all the fun to sit and pray for our class and for our marriages. It was awesome.The Johnsons had the biggest pumpkin with the biggest stem I've ever seen!

I love this picture... You can just hear Julie telling David that's not a good idea... :)
It was Courtney's first time to carve a pumpkin EVER, so it was definitely a momentous occasion :)
This might be my favorite picture of the night...David looks like a jack-o-lantern.
David looks like a demon, Matt looks goofy & Ryan looks perturbed.
