Hey Ya'll!


Car Update...
Ok... we finally did it. We FINALLY made our mind up about the car situation once and for all. We are still getting the Camry, but we got a good price on the SUPER COOL one!!!

On this past Saturday, we got our price - and ordered a shiny red Camry LE with alloys and a sunroof! Krista is sooo excited. (Can you tell? She's writing this...)

No, it's not the pretty blue one we posted in our last entry. The picture doesn't do it justice and it doesn't show the cool alloy wheels! Anyway, enough bragging :) (YAY!!!!)


Bathroom Update...
Yes, it's coming... a 3rd full bath in our downstairs. Many of you know that this has been going on for a while. It's been going slowly but who's counting the months?! Ha... Well, we finally have all the drywall up! Plumbing and electrical is all done and the drywall went up this past weekend. It looks completely different than we imagined, but it's good! It looks more like a bathroom now, and we're excited to see things moving forward. I'm not going to say "it should be done by..." because we'll just get jinxed again! How about... SOON! :)


GOOOO CARDS!!!!!!
The Cardinals are doing awesome this year, and hopefully going ALL THE WAY! I know this is a foreign concept to many of you - a local sports team going to the championships, but I sympathize. (I can't empathize because I don't know what that's like anymore! HAHAHA!)

The Cardinals beat the Padres 3-1 through the NLDS series (Noah and I had an opportunity to go to Game 4 at Busch and see them kick butt!) and are now in a hot competition with none other than the NY Mets, playing to go to the World Series! The series is tied at 2-2 right now, with Game 5 being played tonight. First pitch goes out at 7:19pm and it's Glavine (NY) against Weaver (STL). Should be a good one - you should watch!!! Goooo Cards!!! There's nothin' like good baseball...



Ahh... The Holidays!
It's that time of year again... how time flies! Speaking of flying, you should have seen things fly yesterday! It was typical October weather - cold, rainy the entire day without stopping and very windy. A great day to curl up in front of the fireplace and tv and take a snooze!

Anyway! Aside from the crazy weather, we're looking straight into the eyes of another crazy holiday season! All the Autumn/Halloween decorations are now out and Thanksgiving is right around the perverbial corner. We will be having a "private" Thanksgiving this year (since no one is around down here!), so a small chicken, some beans, mashed sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce - and of course, homemade pumpkin pie ala Krista - will have to do. :) Mmm! (Yes, I'm starting to like to cook!)

But for Christmas, we will be back in the New Berlin/Waukesha area from December 22-26. We'll be flying up, thank goodness, and avoid any bad weather and save some time. Just pray we don't hit Santa on the way up! Ha-ha!


Study, Study, STUDY!
We are both studying hard lately. Noah has his class he's taking towards his Masters Degree, and Krista is studying for her Property & Casualty Insurance License exam, which is October 30th. So if you call at night during the week and no one answers, it's not because we're gone - we're just studying!


" Thea... thea...that's all, Folks!!!" :) See you soon!
