Ups and Downs of Fall

So I left off talking about Halloween, which was so much fun! We got to dress up at work and pass out candy to the kids ( for those who don't know, I work as an optometrist tech inside the doctor's office, inside Lenscrafter's) . After work, we met with friends and played games. I love dressing up for Halloween, I'm pretty sure that's the best part. Jaren dressed up as a minstrel and I was the classic Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's.
November has has a rough start for me this year. I found out I will not be able to go to my families for Christmas. Well, let me rephrase it, I could have a whole 5 days off which would cost $1800 to fly to AK. Yeah so not happening. I also got some kind of virus going around that makes me feel exhausted. I'm always feeling tired and just want to be at home (which is so unlike me). Jaren and I both came home sick one day and just rented redbox movies, had cider and soup, and just cuddled up in bed. It was so relaxing! Just an FYI: NOT pregnant. Pretty sure 2 pregnancy tests can confirm that. I also had to see the lady doctor, which was an experience I will spare you from. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who treats me like a princess. After having quite the traumatic doctor visit, he went shopping with me at a boutique and took me to dinner.
Even though this month has not looked too promising, I'm keeping my chin up! Good things are coming this month! The 22nd my friend Shaleena is coming for an overnight visit, 24-25th my hubby surprised me by booking us a room at our favorite inn (take a wild guess lol), and the 25th we get to see Sara, Jared, and Logan while they are in a layover at the airport! For those who don't know Sara is one of my best friends from Alaska, so it will be so exciting to see her family, even if it's only for a few hours.
So random tidbits that happened this month: I'm in Primary, again. I'm excited because I get to work with the sunbeams aka the 3 year olds. And they are an adventure all on their own. In fact I should probably be getting ready for church now...
Until next time..Love,
Jess
