Full Fall......

October has been an interesting month. I continue to enjoy city living, going out for dinner, comedy shows, trying out different restaurants (Max Brenner, Abyssinia), etc. Went to Merrymead Farm with the kiddies picked out pumpkins and went on a hayride. Went to the Renaissance fair on a beautiful fall day. Went to Bates Motel haunted rides. That was a lot of fun! Also went to see a couple of good movies this month, Reel Steel and The Thing. We have had, for the most part, mild fall weather, and enjoying it while it lasts.

Been spending more time with dad. The day we went to Merrymead we invited him to join us for a lunch picnic in park. After his heart attack he has made it a point to keep in touch and spend more time with us. I am glad for that.

Jordan is doing well. He's really into Karate. He goes twice a week and enjoys it very much. I love that he's so into it. He's made some new friends there. He received his first belt and we went out to celebrate by going out for a nice steak dinner. He is doing well with school too. He's such a great kid. I am so blessed.

Looking forward to the upcoming holidays, full of the food, family, and friends.

It's Fall...It's Fall!

The summer is gone and we are in full fall mode. I love this time of year!I love to wear warm comfortable sweaters, boots, and sleeping in the crisp coolness of the season. Taking it a bit slower this season, and enjoying the early evenings at home.

We did enjoy September out and about when we had the chance. We attended a couple of great meetups, movie meetup, Sips meetup at the R2 Lounge, a couple of great comedy shows, Warmdaddy's great food and music, dinner and breakfast out with friends. We checked out the Puerto Rican day parade this year and visited The Natural Science Museum, my son's favorite museum. We took a daytrip to Lancaster. We also enjoyed Labor day with family and friends.

My son started 8th grade. He's doing well with his courses so far. He also started Karate classes. He loves it! He had taken some when he was younger, but didn't continue. Now he's really interested and I'm so excited for him! After Karate class we sometimes go out to dinner and spend some quality time together talking about all that interests him. I enjoy those talks with my boy. Had to do some serious fall shopping for him. He's growing like a weed...lol. He's growing into a wonderful young man. I love him so.... It's a shame his dad is not making an effort to be part of his life. He's missing out on seeing a beautiful boy grow up.

It's been a bit hectic at work. I was working from boxes the last few months because I was waiting for new furniture to arrive. Finally it arrived and now I'm organizing. My office is much more pleasant and functional now. I look forward to coming into the office.

In the homefront, my boyfriend moved in with me. Well....mainly clothes and beds for the kiddies. We were spending practically everyday together, so it was only natural. He's a great guy, sweet, kind, and loving. I'm a lucky girl. Looking forward to sharing adventures together.

Now, focus is on school for my son and my work for the rest of the year. Well, maybe some fun in between too...lol. Not sure if I can take a trip somewhere before the year is over, but you never know. I'm always up for an adventure or a trip somewhere dreamy....
