Ten Things to Smile About: October

Can you believe October is over! This year really is going too fast. And since another month has passed, it is time to look back and find those Ten Things that made us smile. This is a monthly meme I began after a really hard month when I wanted to find the good. So write your list, please grab the button for your post (just copy and paste the code) to help spread the word and link up. Oh and the linky will be open for almost a week- so if you don't have your list done for today come back anytime this week!!



Ten Things to Smile About: October

1. Birthday's, birthday's birthdays- Lucas, my MIL's, CA Girl's boy and mine!(best friends and almost b-day buddies)

2. Cute little trick-or-treaters

3. My awesome husband for taking over the home front while I spent a day shopping and eating with my beastie CA Girl
4. Spending an uplifting weekend listening to the Prophet and Apostles speak at General Conference.

5. Candy, candy candy and an excuse to eat it-- though my stomach may not be smiling

6. Umm... the funny goats at the petting zoo
7. Getting a serious crafting bug and completing so many fun projects--makes me feel all productive and awesome

8. Sucessfully completing my first 5k! My official time was 33:57 - I finished 14th in my age division.

9. Getting a new precious- I mean the new iPhone 4s-- I love Siri

10. Fall and Halloween decorations
So what made you smile this month?

    I have two thanksgiving decorations. I used to think it was lacking. I am wondering if I like that there is a calm in the middle of the decorating holidays in oct and dec that take over my house!
