We survived October!

Crazy...that is the only word to describe October. We knew that this month would be a test for us...and it was. Sometimes it felt like we were just two people living in the same house, not a married couple! For the last 3 weeks we have declared a tv ban...it was too crazy to even think about watching anything but the news. We have a lot to catching up to do with our TiVo! :)

Why so busy you ask? Well, we both had school work going on- October marks the half-way point for the semesters, so we had all kinds of papers, midterms and presentations to give.

Work- October is Breast Cancer Awareness month which equaled into activities at least twice a week and no free weekends! Chris also has gotten into the swing of his job and has had two cases to work on.

Part of the work craziness was Komen on the Go coming to visit our campus. Basically, the national Komen affiliate chose OU to stop and set up camp for Komen on the Go...it was really awesome to experience it. The OU daily did a video story covering the trailer...you can check it out at http://oudaily.com/

Here are a few pictures....

As a treat to ourselves at the end of the month, we took a field trip with Jess to the local pumpkin patch/corn maze. It was a much needed break!

Jess and Tif found the Peanut's gang!

and here we are after the hayride, showing off our pumpkins!

Because of a weekend class and birthing classes, this weekend is one of our last trips home that we will be able to make before January, so we had our baby shower...conveniently, it was the Polish Sausage Supper!

Richard, Gloria, Jacey and Brooks came down early for church and some sausage...

After we stuffed our faces with sausage it was time to get ready for the big shower....

Here are just a few pictures from our wonderful afternoon.

Jacey's baby carriage filled with fruit- super cute!

Look at that adorable cake!

Everything was perfect; thank you to all of the wonderful hostesses! You guys did a great job.

One of the gift tables, you can see Alison's awesome OU diaper cake!

We are so lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives that care about us and li'l P! We have so much to be thankful for. Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and celebrate with us.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers for these next 9 weeks! We are every excited for our last trip home for Thanksgiving, and then we will have 2 and a half weeks of finals and hopefully at least a couple of days before the little one makes his appearance!

Just for fun, here is a picture of lil P's first Halloween costume!
