gotta love free tickets

i often add my name to contests, never giving them a second thought.  well this past week, the stars aligned and my name had been chosen as a winner!  totally made my week, as i just found out that our electrician blew us off yet again :(  but my frown was instantly turned around, as i was given an excuse to get dolled-up and buy those much needed boots to go along with my dress :)  so i do have to send much love to the humane society for putting on the contest.  picking up my tickets from the new home to the humane society, just off of waverly, i rethought fostering animals and picked up some information.  breaks my heart to see the look in those animals eyes being locked up without a family, if interested in fostering click here!


so last night my hubby and i, dressed too the nines, enjoyed an evening of dancing!  there was soo much talent: 

olympic gold medalist and runner up on dancing with the stars Evan Lysacek 

dancing with the star pro's: Edyta Sliwinska, Alec Mazo, Jonathan Roberts, & Damian Whitewood

american idol finalists: David Hernandez {season 7}, Gina Glocksen {season 6}

cannot forget the fabulous young dancers from: So You Think You Can Dance, Burn the Floor, & High School Musical

we both watched in awe at the flexibility, strength and obvious dedication the performers put into this show.  job well done, as even my hubby had enjoyed the evening.  

enjoy the photos i snuck, was hard to pry my own eyes from the stage :)

every step is one step closer to finishing

.wrapping up small projects.

having this extended spell of beautiful fall weather, i tried to 'grab the bull by the horns'  and start finishing the many small projects.  they seem to multiply, then scatter to all  corners of our property...  today i can say that there is only one handful of small projects on the go in the backyard as of now. {and the completion dates are set for the one handful left}

with me busy doing my mental list of things, was too busy to notice ed finished the retaining wall around the cedar.   after a good paint job and the pathway finished running alongside, this area will be finished!

15 more days until halloween, my pumpkin better get changing :)

turkey~day football

thanksgiving day football

monday after feasting thanksgiving weekend, found ourselves enjoying some ol' pigskin.  was  extra fun as our cousin, Cole, was playing during the intermission.  was an beautiful evening with exceptional october weather, and the football was not bad.  with over 25,000 fans packed in to watch the blue bombers in the stadium, the cheering was loud to say the least.  the bombers did not disappoint, winning final score: BC 35  MB 47 :)

next few photos are of the intermission game {Cole is #6}

first time i saw a 'group fight' break out at a football game  :0

cheers!
