Hey everyone! Long time no see! I have been slacking on blogging because honestly nothing has been going on really lately (in a good way)! Life has been so quiet and peaceful!
Football season for Soddy Daisy ended on November 9th sadly but now Cody and I have more time together and we can prepare for next season;). During the months of September, October, and November we've been meeting and working with our architect to get some house plans set in stone to hopefully break ground by the end of this year! Cody and I have been catching up on life, going on date nights and working out together again, our favorite. We have also just gotten into the season The Walking Dead and still don't quite know what to think about it.
September was a busy month at work for me but has been really great! The past few weeks honestly have been really busy at work with new projects but I like the challenge and staying busy. One of the main flooring projects I perform testing on and help develop is launching this coming March and that is a huge accomplishment in our group! I love my job and look forward to the exciting things coming in our innovation group!
Cody and I have found our love for hiking again and try to go any chance we can! I personally like the long trails that take hours on end but Cody loves walking a lot of short trails.
Earlier in September Cody and I were invited to East Hamilton's homecoming game for tailgating, seeing our old friends and getting a free alumni t-shirt!

It was neat going back to our old stomping grounds bringing up past memories of the two of us:). It will always be an honor being the first graduating class and how this is the building that kind of started it all for Cody and I. So many happy memories!
For old times sake, we parked in my old parking spot. Wow the memories. I used to sit in my car 10 minutes before school started, drinking my coffee and reading the newspaper, solving the word puzzles.
It was fun seeing the game and so strange to see old friends. It was like a mini reunion. I have mixed feelings about what it was like seeing old high school friends. It had been over 7 years since I had last seen most of them. People warn you that when you go to reunions people never change, most are still "stuck" in high school, living the past and the ones that were mean still are, ones that were nice are still, and ones that were stuck up in a click then.....still are now. Let me just say how true that all was. It was surreal to stand there and observe feeling like not even a day had passed because truly nothing had changed. That was the most disappointing thing of all. It was nice though catching up with some of my personal old friends and seeing what they have accomplished and where they are now. I miss them!
In October Morgan came down to visit and she and Edgar (her fiance!) sweetly invited mom and I to tag along on their Bed Bath and Beyond registry list creation. I was so happy to be there and throw in my 2 cents. It is fun seeing their excitement and love. Morgan and Edgar made some sweet choices for their apartment when they move in together after the wedding.

A memory that popped up on my phones time hop was this picture of Cody and I from 3 years ago! It was his first corn maze and it was so so cold and muddy but we were one of the only visitors there and had a blast!
This particular picture popped up from 2 years ago when Cody and I went to the Mayfield Dairy. We had only been married for a few months and were just having the time of our lives!
In honor of corn mazes (which we unfortunately didn't have time to go to this year) is this sweet autumn outfit I found at forever 21.
I'm glad overalls are coming back in style, I have always loved them!
Btw, we love the new Chick-fil-a near us!
One of my favorite whole 30 "meals" is drinks from Smoothie King/Planet smoothie/Juice Bar. Also notice the cool new cups from Smoothie King! Now recyclable!
Coffee and Donuts! I love festive/unique socks!
At the beginning of November, we tried the Keto diet for 15 days. It was a flop. I can see the benefits but it felt so strange to put more ranch, mayo, cheese, and bacon on things. It felt so wrong...and greasy. This was one of the recipes that we made during keto that was actually really tasty. Head over to my Sunday School breakfast blog post coming soon to check out the recipe!
Moving on to Halloween! So this year Halloween rolled around on a Wednesday. Cody and I had the very best candy ready in a bowl in front of our door and got into costume,...ok, well I just did, Cody dressed as himself. It was fun handing out candy to the kids but sadly only a few came to our door. I get really excited thinking about taking our kids one day trick or treating. One day, one day:).
I dressed as Merida from Brave.
I had to act the part! Too bad I don't have extremely red curly hair lol.
Cody and I went out and got a quick dinner then drove around our new neighborhood to see what it would be like when we are there next year and what our future kids will have to look forward to:). Fun times are ahead!
For Thanksgiving this year, we are going to Knoxville to both of my grandparents houses to eat and meet Edgar's family. Then we are helping them put up their Christmas trees the next day. Stay tuned for a detailed Thanksgiving post and Christmas decorating cheer!
With love,
