Happy Halloween

I like Halloween, but it's not my favorite holiday of the year. I've never liked scary movies or anything spooky. For me, Halloween is a stepping stone to my favorite time of the year (other than being on summer vacation). I LOVE Thanksgiving & Christmas. So Halloween to me means the other holidays are around the corner!! Here are some cute pics of Kala's game yesterday and from a party we went to last night.

BFF in Houston

The past four days I was in Houston for a work trip. It was last minute and I HATE the flying part, however it was so much fun. The conference was awesome (best I've ever been to during my career), they have a HUGE mall that was fun to explore (and shop), and I was able to see one of my BFF's since 3rd grade. KRYSTA! Krysta lives about 20 minutes outside Houston. She's a busy mama to 4 children, whom I've never met. She picked me up Monday night and we went to Chili's to hang out. I had never met her kids before (except when Addy was in her belly last summer during our Vegas trip). I wasn't able to meet Jake nor her husband because Jake had baseball. I had so much fun hanging with them. I was sad it wasn't longer :( Kaylee, Drew, & Addy were so sweet and adorable. They remind me of Krysta when we were kids. One of our other BFF's, Sara, is moving to Houston next year, so I will for sure be back to spend a lot more time with them.
