Today is our 4th anniversary! We celebrated a few weeks early with dinner at Maggiano's in Denver. I am so thankful for Ben - he is a great husband & father! A lot has changed in 4 yrs - a cat, new jobs, moved to Colorado, & a son to name a few. I look forward to what is in store for the next 4+ years!

Pumkpins
These pics are not in the order I uploaded them...Anyways, we went to a pumpkin patch over the weekend. It was a beautiful day but the pumpkin patch wasn't all that impressive. It wasn't as big as I imagined. Samuel was out of his comfort zone so we could not get him to smile in any of the pictures until we finally arrived home. As you can see, he was more interested in the hay, the pumpkins and other people.

Mom & Dad Visit
My mom & dad visited last weekend. They picked the perfect weekend. It was sunny & in the 60s & 70s. My mom was able to go with me to Samuel's 9 month dr. appt. He was a more fussy this time so it was nice to have some extra help. We all watched the OSU football game on Saturday at Buffalo Wild Wings. My dad installed a custom closet in our spare bedroom - now I have no reason to not get organized!! On Sunday, we did the Skyride at the zoo. It was so beautiful with the leaves changing. We had a great time and we're looking forward to my mom visiting for 10 days over Thanksgiving to babysit Samuel while his sitter is in Hawaii.

9 Month Check-Up
Samuel had his 9 month appt on Friday. He is healthly and definitely getting the typical "stranger anxiety". He did not like the doctor making him lie down and be still! He weighs 20.75 lbs and is 28.5 inches. He is very average for height & weight.

No pictures or videos of Samuel in this post (sorry) just some history of yours truly. I was tagged by my dear friend, Alison.
20 years ago...I was 11 years old in 6th grade at Muffley Elementary school in good ol' Decatur, IL. I was still wearing glasses with my initials on them! I played 4 square alot & walked to/from school. I played many sports: tennis, softball, & soccer. My friends were Brandi, Valerie, Tara, Heather, Christina, etc.
10 years ago...I was 21 & in my Senior Year at IU. I had just moved to Indianapolis to finish my Health Info. program. I lived with Kellie Jo & her 2 cats (so fun!). I spent a lot of time studying and a lot of time with my good friend, Amanda. Amanda and I most likely were found hanging out or driving to Bloomington to see our friends that we had to leave behind. I was pondering the thought of spending a year overseas in the Middle East with a Christian organization after graduation - thinking there was no way I'd probably end up going. God had a different plan! I ended up spending the next year of my life after graduation with my roommates Amanda & Alison half a world away. We had SO many experiences together that will remain with us forever. I cannot imagine that year without them!
5 years ago... I had just moved out from living with 2 great friends, Marcy & Susan & had purchased my own condo in St. Louis! Ben & I had just met & went on our first date in October. Can't believe it was 5 yrs ago this month that we met!
3 years ago...Ben & I had been married a year & were throwing out the idea of moving out west. I had just quit my job at Iron Mountain that was way too stressful & was back working at Healthsouth. I was in a small group with 4 amazing women who I miss dearly!!
So far this past year...I had Samuel in January & cut back to part-time with The Navigators. I'm pretty much tired all the time and have found myself more forgetful. I'm constantly busy at work & home. I celebrated my 31st birthday and will celebrate my 4th wedding anniversary the 30th of this month!
Yesterday...I took Samuel to his 9 month old appt (healthy as can be) and hung out with my parents who are in town visiting. Ben & I celebrated our 4th anniversary a few wks early at Maggianno's in Denver-YUM!
Tomorrow...I will probably go to church and hang out with my family OUTSIDE! It's supposed to be beautiful.
So, I tag: Amber H, Kelly F, Alisha, & Susan M.

9 months old!
Samuel is 9 months old today! He can pull himself up on furniture and stand for long periods of time. He blabs constantly, loves to play peek-a-boo, and rolls over the moment you set him down to change his diaper! He is such a joy to us! There are more pictures in our online photo album on the link to the right.
