we recently took a drive up the beautiful alpine loop which may be the most photographed road in the state right now. there's a good reason, too. the trees are still vibrant and gold and the air is definitely easier to breathe up there.

october is one of my favorite months. we sent it out with a bang by eating the halloween treats we bought since we didn't have any trick or treaters, and i decided that i like chili. but not just any chili, chocolate chipotle chili.

i'm equally excited for november, maybe because we're leaving the country for the longest vacation we've ever had and definitely because it's now acceptable to listen to christmas music. who am i kidding....i've been listening to it for weeks now :) leave it to michael to get you excited for christmas!

I know I am a little late- but I am super happy that you are a blogger again! So I totally made that chili last night for the first time too- I think it will be our new Halloween tradition!

Whoa whoa, I've missed a memo somewhere...where are you going on vacation???

And I'm completely with you on the Christmas music. I'm only now admitting that I've been listening to it for the past three weeks!!! :)
