What goes up must come down?

I am not sure how to begin to organize everything I have been wanting to say. The past few days have been awesome and not awesome. I guess I should start with the awesome.

On Thursday, I drove to my friend Katie's house and saw her baby girl. I loved getting to catch up with her. I didn't realize how much I missed my friend. Her little girl is beyond adorable. She has the cutest little cheeks and chubby baby thighs. I love me some chubby baby thighs! Katie gave me lots and lots of baby holding and cuddling time. It is soooooo weird that she has a baby. In fact it is sooo weird that all my friends are parents. We (because Katie agrees!) that we don't feel old enough to be parents.

It definitely made me want my own chubby baby thighs but at the same time it was nice not to be the person up at 3:30 and falling asleep on the couch at 7 pm.

On Saturday I got to cross some things off my Fall Bucket List. My dad and brother went to the local corn maze. My mom stayed home and cooked "fakesgiving"(fake thanksgiving). It was surprising more fun than I was thinking it would be. In fact because my back was hurting I almost said let's stay home. I am so glad we didn't stay home. Jon suggested we split up because other families were but we stayed together and worked as a team. We walked a little over 2 miles and only got lost a few times. Afterwards we picked out some pumpkins. I got one to carve but I don't know if I will.

Well the craziness is starting to creep back in. I am starting to feel anxious about going back to Australia. I already miss my family and the stores. I feel like there is still a lot of things I want to do here before I go back. My shopping list is longer than my money. I also am starting to panic about how I am going to get everything back. I just feel like I am making a HUGE mistake all over again. But I really, really miss my baby kitty.
