Another week in MN :) It's getting pretty!
This has been such a beautiful start of fall. This past week started warming up, with this weekend being in the high 70s! That'll be nice before the high is 45 on Friday. The fall colors are starting to show up, and has gotten me motivated to make pumpkin and fall foods: pumpkin pancakes, squash/quinoa pilaf, etc :)
As far as work goes, this week was pretty normal, however, we had some excitement in the neighborhood department. For some background, we live an a neighborhood called Brynn Mawr; houses are nice, mortgages are expensive, people are friendly and crime is scarce. Unfortunately, there was a mass shooting at a local business that is in our exact neighborhood. It was a small signage company that only employed about 28 people, 6 of which are now dead or in critical condition. It was strange for it to happen in our peaceful area; seeing swarms of police, swat teams, news vans and police tape on our daily walk was quite a shock. As was seeing the same the following morning. We are thankful that we are safe, but obviously it is something that is quite a surprise. The location is only 3 blocks from our house, below you will see the view of the building from the end of our street (luckily we live on a col-de-sac)
Luckily, the intensity was spared for our weekend. This weekend was pretty laid-back for us. Did a couple of crafts, started sewing an apron (pictures probably to come in two weeks) and painted a cute little momento from our wedding (super lame in Mark's terms :)) We of course watched the Vikes play, and because we had a friend come, we won THANKS MIKE :) Even though he didn't bring a veggie tray, he inspired me to make home-made pizza, something I haven't done since we moved to MN!
Looking forward to next weekend heading to see a friend get married :) and then in 2 weeks heading back to NC for my fall break! First time since I've been married. Overall, enjoying the start of fall, and getting excited about trips that are to come.
