First, on Thursday, September 28th, I turned 26. Dave bought me some beautiful flowers and a wonderful chocolate cake to celebrate on my actual birthdate.
We drove up to Kansas to see my family the next day and I had another party with my cousin Tabitha whose birthday is 2 weeks after mine.
We got back home from Kansas at midnight on Sunday night and the next morning I started my new job. I am the communications assistant at the Methodist Church here in town. I design their bulletins and newsletters and am creating their website. I'll let you all know the web address when I'm finished. Right now it is still very much a work in progress. It is a great job. I only work 3 days a week from 9-4 so I can work, but still spend the majority of my time being Caroline's mommy. The only real down side to my job is that my desk is right by a plate glass window and is very COLD!
The rest of this month has been spent getting used to being a working mom which is a lot tougher than I thought it would be and I only work 3 days a week. Some highlights from October were a trip to the Gentry Safari to show Caroline the animals.
And October 24th marked the 3rd anniversary of my first kiss. I know that doesn't mean a lot to all of you, but 3 years ago on the 24th, Dave Ellcey asked me to be his wife and I said yes and got my very first and long awaited kiss.
In other news, I have been doing a rediculous amount of cooking and baking in my free time lately. When it gets cold outside there's nothing I like better than being in a warm kitchen making goodies and filling the house with the comforting smells of baking. However, I do NOT like doing dishes but it really feels good when they are done. This is a picture of my kitchen I took just a few minutes ago. Nice and clean. Now I can go to bed happy.

Hey! I want to talk to ya soon! I love and miss you and your family! You make my heart happy! Call you soon! - Hannah
Hi dear friend! You are so beautiful. I like the picture of you and Dave. I love knowing people exist who waited for their first kiss until they were engaged. You are wonderful.
Ack! I'm such a bad friend! I TOTALLY meant to call you on your birthday! And then, it came and went and I've been thinking about you (and how bad I am) ever since.
Of course, you didn't call me on my birthday, so I guess we're even, huh? :-)
Anyway....wow. So much has been happening, I guess. You're working now! Crazy! How'd that come about? How's it going? Where does Caroline go during that time? I guess we're due for another phone conversation, aren't we?
I miss you and I love you lots.
Keep in touch! (And post more pics of Caroline!) :-)

Thank you for blogging, too! I love that you remember the date of your first kiss. I remember mine, too. (april 15th) Marriage is fun times. The first 1/2 year has been really good. Some parts are hard, but most is just really good. I'll tell you more in a more personal way. Maybe a letter, imagine that!
Happy thanksgiving friend!

It is so beautiful to read about your anniversary of your first kiss, which is such a precious gift that isn't held as a prized possession by many. Way to hold out, my friend. :)
Love you and miss you.
