Life Lately

I feel like I haven't done a proper life update in a while. 

Here is what's happening in our neck of the woods.

*We are entering the holiday season and it's so exciting! We are staying here for Thanksgiving and will be celebrating with great friends BUT we are going to Florida for Christmas. Cue the excitement!!! I am thrilled that we will get to spend Christmas with family. It's going to be an amazing week there. 
*We are roughly 1 month away from finding out whether or not we are staying in Kansas for another year or moving in June. It's really nerve-wracking. We would love to stay here but the thought of moving on is exciting. No matter what happens we will embrace it.

*Around the same time that we find out about our Army future I will find out if I made it into the Chicago Marathon! On October 31st, I entered the lottery and am keeping my fingers crossed. I figured I have nothing to lose from entering so why not give it a shot.
*Speaking of running, we will run our 100th race on Saturday! Holy cow! I can't believe we have reached this point haha. We are running a Veterans Day 5k which I think is pretty fitting and a lot of our friends are running it as well. It's going to be a great morning.

*Kansas is finally bringing us some pretty cold temperatures. We have lived in pretty hot climates with mild winters for the last few years so this is all new. The fact that we got snow on Halloween is a preview of what we are in for haha.
*We are starting to plan a lot of fun Christmas outings. We booked a Santa Train experience for E next weekend and we are so excited. It is an 11 mile train ride with unlimited hot chocolate, cider, and cookies. It's going to be such a fun family outing. All of the tree lightings and other events just makes this time of year that much more special especially with E.

What's happening in your life lately?
