Christmas in October
October 21st, 2008 at 19:25Now, October is probably my favorite month anyway, but so far I’m having a particularly good time. For starters, my best friend Matthew flew down from Oregon to spend the weekend with me. He arrived Thursday afternoon and I spent most of the evening cooking up a good meal for him. I want him to remember me every time he goes to Taco Bell and gets so much less. But the big plans were for Friday and Saturday. So Friday we hiked up to Stewart Falls. It’s a fairly mild hike, and Matthew took dozens of pictures. Most of them can be found here: http://flickr.com/photos/mattheww/sets/72157608186637435/ We also had dinner and did a movie with Gina and Ryan that night.
Plans to go to Bryce on Saturday fell through when we realized it was a 4 hour drive instead of 3 hour. But we had a good time sitting around watching Battlestar Galactica and heckling Kristen over her date. Then it was dinner and a Star Trek movie. I pick good friends.
After dropping Matthew of at the airport Sunday it was home for church and sleep. But Monday I got up in the early afternoon and went to buy a piano. Kristen and I brought it home that night and set it up. It’s been a big hit here at the apartment. I think Victoria has played it more than I have, but we had fun this afternoon playing “Heart and Soul” together. And to top it all off, I finally received the complete series of ” The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” Throw in the fact that Halloween is coming up and it’s no wonder this is my favorite month.
