Bring it on Siegel The hub and I are starting a friendly little workout competition today to help us get in shape for our upcoming Christmas cruise.  Between now and December 15th a single point will be awarded for each workout, and for every 2 pounds lost.  The one with the most points on the 15th gets a prize.  WHEN I win (obviously) I’ll be receiving a comfy chair and ottoman for the bedroom.  Adam, you’re going down.

Please Make it to Saturday.

This morning I set up my mummy-o-lantern in the downstairs front window. Now it just needs to keep until Halloween.

Jello Shots and Pumpkin Guts Thanks to Nate and Lynette for a fantastic Halloween party.  From purple punch to eyeball-laced jigglers, it was spooky through and through.  AND, for the second or third year in a row these two have sponsored our pumpkin carving fun.  We’re not talking about triangle eyes and a lame toothy grin here folks.

Practice Makes Perfect? I wish I had learned to be better at a lot of things when I was younger - skiing, sailing, Spanish, piano, TENNIS.  I’m trying now, but some days I wonder if I’m too old a dog for new tricks…  It seems like Emma believes in the power of subliminal messaging though. Thanks Mems.

Back to Reality Real life isn’t quite as good as vacation, especially when there is a mound of laundry the size of Grand Teton.

Promises I promise to be thankful for you.  Whether big days or small days, amazing days or annoying days, holidays or Tuesdays I will celebrate our time together. I will be thankful for you. I promise to respect you.  I fell in love with you because you are such a good man - passionate, smart and moral.  I will not take those things for granted.  In my words and in my actions I will respect you. I will support you in life’s challenges, in your ideas, in this Inkling and all your future inklings.  Sometimes that means just listening, sometimes it’s problem solving, sometimes it’s apologizing, sometimes it’s bearing with the computer face.  I will support you. I promise that someday I will learn to parent along side you.  We will make mistakes, but I will try my hardest and do my best to raise good children into good people.  I will have fun with our kids.  I’ll let them get dirty.  Most important of all, I will love them tenderly and with all of my heart.  I will parent along side you. I promise that I will make memories and build my life with you.  I will dream with you and live our dreams.  I will do the good stuff and the hard stuff as your partner.  I will love you - yesterday, today and always.  I will build my life with you.

Lions, Tigers and Bears.

Our second day in Wyoming we went on a 10 mile hike, with an incredible view of the Tetons.  We spotted a bear (at a distance), a moose, a beaver, and the enormous leavings of an animal that we wouldn’t have wanted to meet.  The view was worth every single one of those 7,823 feet in elevation.

Happy Anniversary to Us It doesn’t feel like a whole year since our wedding celebration at A New Leaf, to me at least. If you ask Adam he’ll probably tell you it feels like 15 years - har har.  Thanks for a wonderful weekend in Jackson Hole Adam.  I loved our first Four Seasons.
