November.. its here already?

I realize its been two months since I last updated the blog. I hope that everyone had a nice September and October. Life is pretty hectic right now with school and research and homework and homework and teaching yoga, going to yoga etc. etc. and you know, the typical Graduate student life.

Scott's in Kansas this weekend for opening weekend of pheasant hunting. I really wish that I was along with him, its such a great weekend to be out there, but I'll be sending Scott, Daniel and Amber some good hunting vibes and hopefully they'll bring home enough pheasant to cook up for dinner on Sunday :)

Some updates:
Scott and I have a wedding venue and date! We'll be getting married next October 5th (a Saturday)... only 11 months to go! :-) http://HallyAndScott.ourwedding.com check out our wedding website for details about when/where/who/what/how/why etc. etc.

Scott just got offered and accepted a new job as a manager at JC Billion (a car dealership here in MT). I am hoping that it will be a good move for him! JC Billion is (from what I can tell) 'the' car dealership in Montana, and seems like a good company to work for. It should give him some great experience and the chance to advance his career.

I'm still busy with school and I don't think that's something that is really going to change here any time soon. Also I am teaching yoga once a week on Friday mornings (about all I can handle for now, but I am SO glad that I got the opportunity to do it!)

Scott and I will be coming home for Thanksgiving and Christmas (however, I'll be home for quite a bit longer around Christmas time). It will be so nice to see all of our family and friends ... I can't believe how quick the time goes by. Scott and I moved here in June and its already November.. what!?? Either way I am so excited for the holidays. What a great time of the year. I am already feeling in the Christmas spirit tonight with almost 2 feet of snow on the ground here in Bozeman. Forecast of 0 degrees tonight, and I'm not complaining!

 With November upon us, I have challenged myself to have an "attitude of gratitude" this month. There is (and always has been) so much to be grateful for this year. I am so excited to come home soon and see everyone.

I may be a tad evil, but this halloween costume was totally worth his facial expression. He wasn't very happy, but it sure was funny.
