Bell's Winter White

Tonight I got together with some girls to have a little poker practice at Broney's. They had a brand new beer on tap, Bell's Winter White! Doesn't it look like grapefruit juice?!?! It was DELICIOUS!!! I loved it. I had two.

Lucky Boy

Look at how lucky Ben was tonight! It's fun enough to play video games in your jammies, but to also get to have a lapful of fuzzy, marshmallowy Charlie?!?!? LUCKY!!

Baby Kate's First Birthday

Baby Kate turns one this coming Tuesday, and Mer threw a birthday party today to celebrate! There were babies galore, and an amazing spread of snacks. Kate had a blast playing with her helium birthday balloon, and really got into opening presents! She got a lot of really fun toys that are sure to keep her busy.

Throwing Pumpkins

Our pumpkins were starting to look a little strugglin', so Ben took them out back and threw them! Whee!!!

Halloween Spooky Bike Race and Uptown Fun

Joey and Atira hosted a spooky bike race at their house this afternoon. Riders had to ride around to the cemetaries of Athens to gather clues. At the end of the race, there was a big burrito and pie feast!! And beer! Summer and I went for the feast, to cheer on the riders.

After the bike race, we headed to the Uptown Halloween party, to do a walkthrough and check out the costumes. It was a great time!

Fifteen-Dollar Six Pack

Ben and I stopped by the beer store on our way over to Dan and Amy's tonight, and there was this six pack of Bell's Cherry Stout. It was $14.99!!!!!! I have never seen such an expensive six pack! I was intrigued though, so I bought it. It was a good way to celebrate Halloween! Luckily, it turned out to be DELICIOUS. What a treat!

Happy Halloween!

Everyone at work dressed up for Halloween! Yay!!

Ha hahahah, TJ went as Tracy.

I was a satyr.

We went Trick-or-Treating in everyone's office. DING DONG!

When Tom is alone, as opposed to with a group of other folks in costumes, he sort of looks like a bathrobed looney wandering around. Especially up here at the Ridges.

We all went to Broney's for lunch.

Leah and me!

Moku 2

Today I met Tom for a coffee drink at Moku before work. There's Tom with his mocha!

We sat upstairs so we could enjoy the view.

Latte for me, mocha for Tom!

The view is great!

Moku makes really good foam.

Halloween Step Aerobics

This morning was our annual step aerobics halloween morning! Our instructor Kay brought in popcorn balls and puppy chow, and Summer and I dressed up! She was an aerobicizer, and I was a princess!

Glamor shot!

Hocking Hills Canopy Tours Zipline

This morning, a group of us headed to Hocking Hills to check out the Canopy Tours Zipline. I was super nervous but I did it!! It was FUN. They gave us a tutorial, and outfitted us up, then we headed into the woods for the Zipline course! The course was about two hours long. We did ten ziplines. The whole experience was amazing. After we zipped, we headed to Millstone BBQ for lunch and beers.

Check out the photos, and my zipping videos below! The guides helped us to harness our cameras into our gear, so we got to have them on us the whole time.

Big Screen Guitar Hero

Tonight, we went over to Dan and Amy's house to eat pizza and play games. The playing games part was SUPER fun, because they have a projector set up and we got to play on the big screen!! We played a ton of Wii games, then busted out the Guitar Hero. Video games just got a whole lot more fun!

Moku Espresso and Cafe

Moku Espresso and Cafe is a new coffee shop that opened up on W. Union Street. Joey made the sign, and asked some muscley friends to help hang it up. Ben went to help, and I went to watch. I've never watched a sign get hung up before, it was cool! Joey did a great job.

Pumpkins and Donuts

This afternoon, Gina and Jill hosted a pumpkin carving party out at Paul and Sarah's house. Ben and I decided to walk along the bike path to get there. We underestimated how heavy those pumpkins would feel by the time we got there!

Jill and Gina making fresh donuts! YUM!!! I ate like two hundred.

Dad hooked us up with some SERIOUS tools that would carve a pumpkin UP. People said it looked like a creepy murder kit.

Pumpkin carving!

The lineup.
