T-6 Complete

I'm not really sure how October has already come and gone, but I am so excited November is here! There are so many things to look forward to in just the next couple weeks.

Here is a quick little blurb of updates. Just for you, Alicia! :)

Last Week:

Halloween on base housing was pretty fun. We totally ran out of candy and had more trick-or-treaters than we have ever had before. It's fun when you know most of the faces behind the costumes. We were totally the lame house on the block. We had luminaries outside and fall decor inside, but no Halloween decorations. We went to a pumpkin patch last weekend, and they were out of pumpkins. Those are the moments when we totally rag on Oklahoma and wish we could live anywhere else. But I did carve pumpkins with Brian when I was home. His = Awesome. Mine = good effort, at best. 

I had to work my first night shift last week--of course, once it is finally cold weather. I froze out there with all the guys till well past midnight.

Zack completed formation last week, which was his favorite block and the one he performed the best in.

We had a lovely weekend with friends--13-02 Assignment Night, bonfires & s'mores, a 25 mile bike ride, BBQ Joint, and a church potluck. A classmate of Zack's has moved in with us for the next couple weeks...so we always stay in good company around here. Weekends in Enid aren't so bad after all.

November is a month of many family birthdays (just so you're prepared with all my blog posts about them in the near future). I got birthday organized yesterday afternoon so we're prepared through the rest of this year. Phew!

Yesterday we thought of Papa Bob celebrating his first birthday in heaven. 

Today is Rudy's birthday!

This Week:

Zack is T-6 COMPLETE! As much fun as he had in the T-6, he is glad to be done and is ready for whatever comes next. Only 8 more days till we find out.

The only other noteworthy news in our lives is our new camera. We got a new digital SLR, finally! And we love it. Here are some pictures from our bike ride. We've just began practicing, so be prepared for much better pictures on this blog in the near future!
