Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch ! We took Kayleigh and Alex with us because they came and spent the weekend with us .. Nick stayed at home in Seattle :( This was the first time that Alex had ever been to a pumpkin patch. Growing up in Okinawa, they really don't have them ;) It was the perfect day.. sunny with a crispness in the air !! We went through the hay maze, went and say the baby animals, jumped into the hay pit, had corn on the cob, went on the tractor ride, had hot apple cider -yummm !!, went through the corn maze and picked out our pumpkins !!! Because Nick was not there, we got one for him and Kayleigh and Alex will carve it when they get home. We got one this year too, but it was a little one just big enough for us :)

My New Car !!

Well, today my Amazing, Wonderful, Thoughtful, Loving husband bought me a car !! I LOVE IT !!! It is a 2007 Acura TL !! Leather heated seats, sunroof, color -everything I wanted !!! Being cold here in Washington, I really REALLY wanted leather heated seats !! I was looking at Honda Accords, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry's.. and by luck, just walked over to see the Acura and it was perfect !!

We Have A Home

Today is our first day in our apartment.. Lonnie and I are in our home by ourselves for the first time since we were first married.. just us and the dogs. We got our first shipment of our things last night and will be going through the boxes in the AM. Its a little strange not having the kids here.. but I know they are loving their place in Seattle. Kayleigh got a job and so did Alex. Nick is still looking but I'm sure he will get one soon.

We are in BACK !!

We made it home !! We are back in Seattle~Washington State !!We got into Seattle about 930am Oct. 1st and Marty Brugler came and picked us up with his big truck.. (we had a lot of suit cases) Its so nice to be home.. even though I do miss the heat in Okinawa, it is nice to have that chill in the air of Fall. We drove by a pumpkin patch and the leaves are starting to change. Right now we are staying at Nicole and Marty Bruglers house, but we move into our Apt on Thurs. We drove by it today, it is in a gated area and we will be on the second floor (not thrilled about that) but we only plan to stay there about a year and then we hope to buy a home :)
