punkin patch

hey. it's been a while. i've been wanting to write and feeling quite uninspired. at least as far as concepts go.
i've decided to do at least one thing every day just for me. something that i enjoy and will make me happy. (you'd think that wouldn't be hard...?) yesterday's was simple. i made a french bread pizza because i had been thinking about it all week thanks to ethan leaving his in our freezer at work. so i went winn dixie and got a loaf. and the sauce? i made it. out of roasted then pureed eggplant, onion, bell pepper and tomato paste. am i allowed to say that i thought it turned out really well? i even smeared a little rocotta on before the mozzarella. mmmm. i love food.

i'm not sure what i'll do yet, today. but i'm bound to come up with something. maybe i'll watch the dogs chase bugs and run around the yard. or maybe i'll make a pumpkin cheesecake. i've really been craving one. (do you notice the food theme?)

last weekend i went to arkansas to visit my parents, sister, and college friends. it.was.awesome. sharing rooms, meals, couches, growth, experiences, tears, laughter and... lives with the same people for 4 years does something to you. i'm so thankful for them. soso thankful. also... thank you guys for welcoming charlie in... it's awesome to know you all love him like you love me.


in other news, this is a busy month. charlie and i leave wednesday for colorado!! we're going to see baby bear!! i can't wait to squeeze him!! okay, too many sentences ending with exclamation points. i'm just really excited!!!!
