Rugby, Eric's 25th!, Pumkins, and Fall

So this is our front porch all lit up to welcome our ward. And below is my best pumpkin carving EVER (thanks to Wes and Ambria for insisting that I come be social and attend their pumpkin carving party). The others are Erin's and Jill's masterpieces. Pretty fun. We went to a pumpkin patch for Enrichment (which now is no longer called that, but you get the idea) and so I get to carve another one which will most likely be the traditional triangle faced jack.

Ambria's birthday is the day before Eric's and since Eric was down in Provo for rugby we actually got to hang out *YAY!* which of course means special pizza factory pizzas. He ended up eating pasta and I ate his birthday pizza though. These pictures are exactly backwards out of order. And you can see his great burn from hours of rugby. Mine is more covered up--though I spent 4 hours that Saturday playing tennis with Kristy and then Gretchen. This picture is Wes, me, Ambria, and Eric.


Cutie Gretchen. I love her. And MAN, she can hit hard. This is not the most flattering picture of either of us. But I don't have any others of her, so it must be included.
I should say that things at work are getting worked out. The person that started the worst of the rumors has since quit. The rest of things are getting smoothed out. My head has not loved all the additional stress, but I think I will survive and perhaps I've even learned something from all this mess. Become a better person and learned a bit more about corporate America. sigh. Exhausted but better is still good. :)

And happy late birthday to my darling Nanny! I only got to send you a text and I'm SORRY to be such a slacker in the calling department. I'm assuming mom is keeping you up to date on what's been going on, but by the time I'm available to talk it is generally late--or early. So yeah. No excuse, but still, a reason. Love you!
