Whooopiiiieeee! Fall Break is finally here! After Lile and I got off work yesterday, we went to Spurlington lake and he fished a little bit - I read my book! (I have just started Ashes in the Wind - one of Mom and Shannon's favorites!) The leaves are really beginning to change colors and are starting to fall pretty quickly. It has been so dry lately that I'm afraid many of them might just turn brown instead of the beautiful red, orange, and yellow colors that are so nice to see this time of year. Mom, Dad, and Nathan are well into their Wyoming excursion now - I talked to Mom this morning and they're having a wonderful time! Lile is at work today and I've just been hanging around the house this morning doing some much needed cleaning and laundry. I also did a little crochet (after I got up at a wonderfully late hour!) and finished a baby sweater that I started a couple of days ago. I've found a fun website that has lots of cute and simple crochet patterns. I've enjoyed working on the baby things because they're pretty simple and can be completed quickly - I don't like projects that take too long as I get bored easily! Here's a picture of the sweater I made - the title of the pattern was "Baby, It's Cold Outside!". I think it turned out pretty good - I tried it on a doll just so that I could get a better idea of it's size.

Almost there...
Only two more days until my TWO WEEK FALL BREAK!!! I couldn't be any more ready for it! I've been trying to maintain my sanity this week by being a crafty little homemaker in the evenings - check out the little baby booties I made tonight!! We're having a baby shower for a girl at work so I plan to give these to her. (Know anybody that might need some of these - I'm open for hire!) I am just learning to crochet but have really enjoyed it. Jan gave me a how-to crochet book last Christmas - so far I've made a checkbook cover, small button clutch, baby blanket, these booties, and a hat. I need lots of improvement but I've had fun learning. Last night I went to 'craft night' at mom's. That's always fun - even if I usually end up grading papers more than actually crafting... Mom, Dad, and Nathan are leaving for their big Wyoming trip on Friday. I'm sure they'll have a great time! I can't wait to hear all about it and see their pictures. Jill and I are going to get together one day while they're gone and do a little shopping - we could be dangerous!! For the moment, I'm just trying to maintain an even strain at school until Friday afternoon at 2:30. At that point, I'll be home free! At least for a couple of weeks... I asked Lile this afternoon if he knew what this coming Friday was. His first guess was the beginning of my Fall Break - true, but not the answer I was looking for. Friday will be 7 years since our first date!! We had no idea what we were getting into :-) (I mean that in a good way!)
