What I Love about October 2013

Love, love, love October.  It's one of my favorite months of the year.  Here's what I'm looking forward to this October.

1.  This first beautiful weekend of October finds us working a wedding which we love to do.  This beautiful bride lives in California but will come back to her hometown to wed the man of her dreams.  I can hardly wait to see this wedding unfold.

2.  Sunday morning, D and I, along with another couple, will fly to the great state of Texas for what we are calling our "Taste of Texas Tour."  That's right, friends and neighbors, we are eating our way through Texas.  We are all four big foodies so we had the idea to visit the restaurants recommended by food guru, Guy Fieri of Diner, Drive-in and Dives fame on the Food Network.  We have tracked down all of his recommendations in the great cities of Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and South Padre Island.  We actually have an eating itinerary.  Let the fun begin!

3.  On October 10th, my baby will turn 24 years old!  What a joy this child is to me, his dad and our family.   Love you bunches, G!

4.  On the 15th, Mother and I will take a day trip with one of the local banks up in the mountains.  We'll visit a winery for a tasting (at 10:00 in the morning no less); eat lunch at Glen Ella Springs and stop at a local pottery.  Yes, I'm pretty sure you're officially old when you start taking day excursions on buses.  But that's okay, Mother is beyond excited.

5.  On the 19th, we'll see one fabulous couple get married!  We have loved the planning with this sweet bride and groom.  This one is going to be amazing!

6.  On the 20th, a local church has asked me to join them for an author event they are holding in conjunction with their Sunday morning services.  I haven't quite come to terms with the whole "author" thing since my book is a cookbook.  I'm honored that they thought to invite me.  I'm so looking forward to it.

7.  Oh, that reminds me.  The cookbooks are scheduled to arrive the week of October 14th.  I'm excited and nervous.

8.  On the 25th,  a friend and I are heading down to Stone Mountain for the Country Living Fair.  I have wanted to go to this for years.  I have no idea what kind of treasures we might find but I can hardly wait to begin the hunt.

9.  For some the 31st means Halloween.  For our family, it means we leave to go to the Georgia Florida game for the weekend!  Go Dawgs!

10.  Our oldest furry girl is with child so we are anxiously anticipating the arrival of little furry babies the end of this month.  We go for a sonogram in two weeks.  I cannot wait to see what a doggie sonogram even looks like. This is so exciting!

Happy October!!
