|{ I LOVE The Zoo }|

Once my sister left Jon decided that we really needed a nice day all to ourselves, so he took me to the zoo!!! I LOVE the zoo so much and I was so excited to go to the Detroit Zoo since it would be our first time there!!

We started off the day SUPER early since Ember's flight left at something like 6:00 a.m.  So we dropped her off and then went to get breakfast.  It took a while but we finally found a diner that was open 24-7 and we ate there.  Then we had to wait for the zoo to open, so we drove through Detroit until we hit the lake and then we finally headed to the zoo.

It was nice to be there in the morning because before we left it was getting crowded and hot.  I was super excited when I found out that they had a red panda! I LOVE red pandas!! AND it was right across the way from the tigers, which was AWESOME! We also particularly enjoyed the reptile house (as always), the kangaroo path (where you get to walk on a path with kangaroos around you (no fences)), and the polar exhibit where we saw a little gray arctic fox playing around and they have a tunnel (like at aquariums) where the seals and the polar bears swim above you!! It was great fun!! I'm so glad we got to go!!

It was just what we needed!

He looked like he was having a really bad morning. 

Lazy otters

Look at those crazy teeth!!

I just wanna cuddle him!!!

The Beginning Of The End

Jon and I went and saw Harry Potter 7 at midnight last night!! Our showing started at 12:01 and we were in the IMAX theater!!! It ROCKED!!! And because the IMAX theater is assigned seating, we got there about 20 minutes before the movie started and didn't have to worry about getting crap seats!! YAY!  We were about in the middle of the screen and exactly half way up, it was perfect! My man rocks for getting us those seats!

For dinner before we left we ordered pizza and I asked them to put the olives in the shape of lightening bolt to celebrate the occasion.  I forgot to take a picture, but that's okay, it didn't look that great, haha!

Then Jon had to study so I spent my free time getting ready to go.  I put on dark (ish) makeup and painted my nails black (which is my most favorite color to paint them!) and then I drew the dark mark on my arm.  I did pretty good if I do say so myself.  Especially since I had to do it upside down!

Then we both got dressed all in black and wore long coats.  I wore my boots and tucked a chopstick inside one to be my wand. Haha!

It was so fun when we got to the theater.  It's so exciting to see people get all dressed up and what other time do so many strangers get along so well?! It was so exciting!

While we were waiting for the movie to start some random guy ran into the theater and yelled "TROLL!!! Troll in the dungeon!!!" And pretended to faint.  It was so funny.  He got lots of cheers!

Then someone came out with a microphone an asked everyone to turn off their phones then told us they would only start the movie when we got loud enough.  So cheering and clapping and stomping ensued and the movie started!

AND IT WAS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE!!! It was so funny and it looked so good, it followed the book so well and it was just fantastic!!! I'm so glad the next one is coming out in only 6 months instead of year!!

I am so glad I read the book again before going to see the movie because Jon had to ask me a bunch of questions after the movie!  I definitely want to go and see it again!!

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

WOW!! I can't believe I did 4 blog posts without putting on ANY pictures!! Yuck! Personally, I have a harder time staying interested in blogs that never post pictures so I can't believe I did it for so long!!

So to make up for it, here are some pictures of our lives recently!!

Lovely Fall Leaves!

Fall Ball!

Us together!

There you have it! That was pretty much our month of October!

Unfortunately we didn't dress up for Halloween.  We didn't have a need to and didn't feel like spending the time to come with something just for the 10 trick-or-treaters we got! We still had fun together though and decided to start a new tradition.  Every Halloween we will eat Vindaloo for dinner (one of my favorite meals, a spicy red sauce from India that goes over rice) and we will call it Vinda-Boo (we colored the rice green!)  and then we would go to a movie.  So on Monday we went and saw Easy A! It was super funny!!

So there you are, my attempt at making it up to you for the lack of pictures! :)

MIA

So I know I have been missing in action for a while now and I apologize!!  I haven't forgotten about you, I just have been really busy with work as well as lazy getting up in the morning so I don't really have the time!!

I am super excited because my super amazing gorgeous friend Rochele is having her baby soon!! If she doesn't pop earlier she will be induced on Thursday!! I am so excited for her, her husband Kevin, and their soon to be new baby boy Connor!! I can't wait to see pictures of him.  I am super disappointed that I live so far away right now because I have no idea when I'll be able to see him in person, but he is sure going to be a lucky baby with parents like them!

Also, Jon asked me to go to the medical school Fall Ball with him!! It's on Friday and I am SUPER EXCITED!! He sent me on a treasure hunt in order to ask me, it was a lot of fun!! We went out and bought me a new dress and jewelry and sexy shoes!!! And he got new stuff too!! It's going to be a blast!!

I'll keep you updated on all the fun stuff, I hope you are all doing amazing!!

Some of the many MANY things I love about him are:
He loves to cook and is VERY good at it!
He helps around the house.
He takes care of the finances, but wants me to be involved as well.
He puts me before everything else!
He is always encouraging me!
He is AMAZING at giving gifts and planning holidays!
He always makes me laugh!
He loves to mow the lawn!
He knows me so well!!
He is a great handyman and when he can't figure something out he isn't too proud to ask for help.
He loves road trips and driving!
He is so perfect for me!!

I couldn't have asked for a better companion! He is my everything!

A few weeks ago we went to the cider mills! We got fresh apple cider, donuts, and then picked some apples and raspberries!! It was so much fun and we took tons of pictures!! I finally got around to editing them so here you go!
