Ladies Night

Last night was Ladies Night over at my house!  Basically ladies night just consists of eating good food and chatting for several hours, but man do I love it!

Happy Halloweenie

She has gorgeous hair with ombre coloring so I asked her who did it. She said she had it done in Salt Lake, to which I replied, "that's where I'm from!"

So we have some fun new friends all because I asked her who did her hair :) It was meant to be I tell ya.  So Happy Hallo"weenie" from Iowa! No costumes for us this year, we were boring, but Thor donned his new Halloween sweater.
