October!!

This is my favorite month. For a combination of reasons really. It feels like the beginning of the holiday season, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and ahem.....my birthday are all on the way.
I love Halloween, the spookiness, the decorations, the costumes, the excitement, the candy.
I love the fall weather. It's not exactly cold here, but it just gets a nice little crisp in the air.
October is also a special month in my relationship with Patrick:

October 1995- We shared our first kiss at the skating rink (we were 14)
October 1999- First time we uh....got jiggy with it (18)
October 2002- He convinced me to leave my abusive relationship with Dan and be with him forever *heart* (21)


In celebration of this wonderful month, I'll be posting a different Halloween picture from past years with each post.

To start, here's one of me at 17, I was 2 months pregnant with Emily
