it's october 3rd.
mean girl's for the win. i could quote that movie all day long.
can you believe it's october?? i love it. although georgia isn't quite on the same level as other states, like utah, with it's fall status. yesterday it was in the 80s... oh i'm so ready for it to cool down and for the leaves to change. the low is 41 tomorrow though so that's giving me some hope.
last night the power flickered four times (like in those scary movies where everything seems normal, and then the power randomly flickers on and off, and then next thing you know, someone dies). so i was convinced someone was about to show up at our door with a chainsaw. no worries, nothing happened. (i still made kenneth check every room and closet) but after that, the internet was down in our area all night. which meant kenneth and i couldn't continue our netflix watching of house (we're on the final season). so instead we decided to watch a movie, harry potter, the first one. do you guys even remember the first one?
i forgot how much i just love it. so we laid in bed, lit my new heirloom pumpkin and butter cookie candles (dollar section at target, holla), grabbed our huge bag of costco halloween candy, and took a stroll down memory lane with harry, ron and hermione. by the end of it we decided it's time to kick off the halloween month right with a harry potter marathon. so tonight we plan on watching the second one and i'm stoked. after that, we will probably watch all halloween related movies on netflix. for me, that means the haunted mansion (you remember, the one with eddie murphy) and spooky buddies (probably the 37th spin off of air bud). and for kenneth that means watching every and any movie that will have me screaming with terror.
yikes.
i don't really do scary movies. i mean, i have this love hate relationship with it because it fascinates me so much and i love them. but then they legitimately scare me and the following days and weeks i become a paranoid freak. a few weeks ago we watched world war z and there was this one scene at the beginning of the movie where i screamed louder than i probably ever have in my entire life and then followed it with a combination of tears and laughter. tears because i was seriously so scared and i couldn't breathe. laughter because i couldn't believe how loud i actually screamed and it was actually really funny.
i just love halloween. i mean what kid wouldn't? free candy! kenneth and i have been brainstorming for some costume ideas and i think we've decided on one. i'm going to be slutty nurse and he's going to be a doctor.
JOKES.
come on people, please tell me you got a laugh out of that one. no, we're going for something much more creative. actually i'm probably the only one that thinks it's funny but that's okay. i'll keep it a surprise.
so not only do we get to quote mean girls today, but it's also my beautiful mom's birthday! now normally when people write about their family member's birthday, i normally skim through it (don't judge, we all do it). just because i don't really know them and they normally all say the same nice things. but this one you don't want to skim through because my mom is not like an ordinary mom and here's why....
my mom is heaven sent. seriously, i can't tell you how many people come up to me and tell me that my mom is an angel. it's a long list.
here are 3 fun facts about my mom
1. she has bent a metal arrow in half and it's actually displayed on a shelf in our living room
2. she has walked on hot coals
3. she takes classes in energy work (that would take a really long time to explain that)
basically she's awesome. she's a hippie but doesn't dress like one. she has been into eating organic and healthy and natural healing and medicine long before it became "a thing"
she does more service for others than i knew was possible.
she's kind to everyone.
she helps everyone she meets.
she's loving.
she's giving.
she's the bomb.
i could really say so much more, but i just love her a lot. i'm super grateful for her. this last year has been difficult without my dad and i just count my blessings every day that i still have her.
love you mom <3
xx
Two beautiful and strong women! <3
