September and October Condensed

I've postponed writing a new post for a while. I wasn't quite sure what to say. September and now October have not been my favorite months this year. I'll start with the good news. Ben and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on October 6th. We didn't do much in the way of celebration but we did spend the evening together which is a rare thing these days. Happy Anniversary hot stuff. I love you! Also, my friend Lanea got married at the end of September. Yay for weddings! She looked beautiful and I was so happy to be there for the special day.

On the sad side of things, my grandmother passed away on the same day. I've not written about it because I'm not good at talking about it or pretty much anything that involves my emotions. Just ask Ben. He loves it when I get mad and then don't want to talk about it. For most of my life I lived in the same town and then for several years on the same street as my grandparents. I was even lucky enough to share her name. Anna Christine comes from Louise Christine. During the time my Dad was a single parent, my siblings and I went to my grandparent's house after school each day. My grandma helped us with our homework and we helped ourselves to the cookie drawer in her kitchen. She was a never failing support system and influence for good. Any homemaking skills I may have were learned at my grandmother's side. She was always patient and always kind. I will miss her. She and my granddad celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary in August. I'm so grateful for eternal families.

As for October--I work for a costume company. Yesterday I came to work at 8 am and left at midnight. November never looked so good.
