Another fun and full weekend for the books! And here I thought October would be a quieter weekend month. It started off on Thursday when Carrie and some of her friends came to spend the night on their way to MI for a girls' weekend. They arrived pretty late in the evening, but we still had a good time over dessert.
Friday after school, Loren left for our church's overnight men's retreat. I got home around 6, only to realize that my apartment key had been given to Carrie earlier that day so they wouldn't have to leave early when Loren and I did. I was having some girls over for a sleepover in a short while, so I ran over to our clubhouse office where, thankfully, someone was still in the office and they cut me a new key. Was quite the relief to be able to get into the apartment without having to try to break in. ;)
Ally and Vashti came over a short while later, and we had a fun night with pizza, popcorn, ice cream, Gilmore Girls, nail painting and coffee. At some point, Ally headed home and Neah came over to spend the night. We ended up watching a movie and then talking for a while before getting a few hours of sleep. It's been a while since I've partied so hard! ;)

Vashti had to work Saturday morning, so after the girls left, I tried unsuccessfully to take a nap before going Dawn's to get some newborn snuggles and take care of laundry duty. It was the perfect rainy afternoon for snuggles.
By the time Loren got home that afternoon, we were both so exhausted that we took a nap before going on a Chick-fil-A dinner date.

Sunday afternoon after church, we had the privilege of taking engagement pictures for some friends. The leaves and weather were perfect, they were so photogenic and we had a blast. Maybe we'll do it again sometime!
And that was that! I hope you had a great weekend and got outside to enjoy some of the beautiful fall leaves. While summer is my favorite, this fall has been pretty spectacular (thank you, mild October weather).
Happy Tuesday!
