Thanks:

1. My mom! This morning my mom called me... doing the usual checking up on me, disguised by some question about cell phone plans. Jake teases me that my mom and I will call each other over the silliest of things- but I'm so thankful that she's that kind of friend and mom. The kind that just cares. Later she looked over my blogs and wrote me the sweetest email. She inspires me.

2. Pumpkins. For three years now sometime during the month of October we take a walk to a house around the corner that piles their yard with pumpkins and sells them. Maybe not as cool as going to an actual pumpkin patch- but definitely better than just picking one up at the grocery store. We told Josh he could pick one out- and he went straight for the white ones. Then we picked and orange one as well.

3. The Office. So my first Thursday post HAS to give a shout out to one of the two shows we're devoted to (the other being LOST). Tonights episode was a crack up as usual but had some pretty deep/emotional parts as well. The writing of these characters is incredible. You love them for the quirkiness... tonight just revealed all the more the inner workings of some great characters. If you've only watched the show a couple of times you're probably thinking I'm nuts. But trust me, it really does grow on you, and before you know it you're hooked.
