300th Post!

Wow.. can't believe I've actually had enough to say to post 300 times! Then again, those who know me might say otherwise!

Tomorrow starts the annual "Hallquist Oktoberfest 2009" traditions! Yeah! I'm thankful to celebrate another year with my little family and of course, all our extended family and friends. It's a busy month ahead, even without all the birthday celebrations. This coming weekend, I will be attending a 1.5 day conference in R*aleigh for my job. K and I are taking advantage of his parents who now live close to there to keep Stone so we can officially celebrate our 5th year anniversary! So, a partial weekend of work, and partial of fun with my hubs, sans child.

The next weekend, we'll celebrate Stone's birthday and we have family coming up on both sides! Too much fun! And in between all this, I hope to get some family pictures taken from my brother in law, celebrate mine and Kevin's birthdays, go to Fall Festivals where we can and do all the fun October things to do. Work will be a busy month too, but good.

I also need to finish recaping September, which flew by faster than a blink! Gee! Where did it go? And before we know it, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here and then we'll be in 2010. So, I'll try to keep my blog updated a bit more!

Happy Fall Everyone!!! My favorite time of year!!

And 5 years later...

....we still love each other! Tomorrow (the 25th) marks our 5 year anniversary. We can barely believe that 5 years has come and gone just like that, in a blink of an eye. Happy Anniversary Kevin! We've been through the amazing birth of our son, 4 moves, 2 lay-offs, and many jobs between the two of us later! We scarcely know what it means to live a normal life, and so this past August, when it came to be that we have lived in the same apartment in the same city for a complete year and got to sign our lease for another year, we were quite perplexed! We are thankful, though, no complaints! We both have jobs, we have a place to live, we are close to both sets of parents and some siblings, and we even got to take a vacation this year! (Will post on that soon.) So, 5 years of a lot of learning, but a lot of fun and love along the way. Love you Kevin! :)
