Becca's 16!!!!

So this last Tuesday was my oldest niece's 16th birthday, crazy how time flies. :) Here are some pics from our dinner out celebrating her day:

Birthday girl...and cake!

Sam was more than happy to pose. :)

Jonah wasn't wanting to pose for me, this was the best I could get.

Can't believe she is 16 now! Sigh, they grow up WAY too fast. :) Love ya Becs!

Busy Life

So this was me on Halloween night. We did do the door for a bit, but didn't have too many trick-or-treaters as our driveway I think hindered people from thinking we were open for candy. :) (We bought more caution tape and taped off the whole thing so people wouldn't try to cross it at all.) There are a few left overs of candy which mom and I are slowly working through. :)

Then Tuesday night I got some shopping done for a work November birthday party I had to organize, Wednesday night I went shopping again this time for bridal shower presents, and last night I worked at the temple.

Have you ever had one of those moments where you are about to pass out? Not the, I really wish I could pass out right now, but literally you can see your vision dimming and everything closing in on you? That happened to me last night at the temple...I was working and all of a sudden I felt nauseous , then a bit dizzy and then my vision started to blur on the edges. I quickly sat down but it freaked some people out. I think I just hadn't eaten much in the day and I just started to pass out. Didn't though. But a weird feeling none the less.

Tonight is a bridal shower, but I also have to get home and clean a bit as mom is hosting a book club. Then Saturday I should get to relax.

Hope you have a good weekend! And don't forget to turn your clocks back! :)

Finished Driveway

Okay, so it was really done last Friday, but life has been busy. But here is the finished driveway:

And here's the video of it:

We should hopefully be able to drive on it soon. They did come take the forms out from around the driveway on Tuesday and backfilled on the sides where they had to dig out. End of the driveway still a bit of an issue but Ballwin inspector said it wasn't too huge a deal and after time that space will fill in with leaves, rocks and other debris. But did also say he personally would have it caulked. Fun times.

In case you were wondering, the people in the background of the video are Joe and Linda our neighbors that recommended this guy to us and were getting their driveway done at the same time with the same people. They are home during the day and helped keep an eye on stuff for us while it was getting done.
