Yesterday I ended up taking Olivia with me to work. She is such a good baby with other people! After a couple of hours of being passed around while I worked, she knocked out and I ended up putting her under my desk while I finished off a few things.
After work it was a mad dash to get ready and head up north to the memorial service of my parents dear friend, Jeff Barker. We had not seen them in years, and actually the last time I remember seeing him and his wife Jenny (mom you may need to correct me on the spelling of her name) was when they surprised us and showed up at my high school graduation party with two beautiful baby girls! They had twins! Jeff used to tell the story of how I "autographed" his books. Well, I took a pen to them alright but it was more of scribbles. He was such a wonderful man and I know that he will be missed. Going to memorial services always makes me remember to be thankful for the time that I have with people. At this service, people kept talking about Jeff's yearning for the Lord and how much me loves books. How will I be remembered? What will Olivia have to say when my time comes? It is time to make sure to make everyday count. It makes me thankful that my parents encouraged us to play outside. I remember a time when we did not even own a TV. Oh the decisions that we make. I now understand and appreciate my parents in a way that I never have before. Olivia was nice to use and slept through the whole thing.
Rest in Peace Jeff and know that you are missed and loved dearly.
Afterwards we went over to visit with the Robin family: David, Dollie, Jonathan, James, Bekah; and their daughter Sarah and son-in-law Jay came over. We had a delicious dinner and enjoyed each other's company. It was nice to get out of the house.

This morning I had a doctors appointment and got birth control. As much as I cannot wait to have more kids, we need a little security in knowing that it will not happen until Goober is out of diapers. We are also continuing to work on getting rid of this thrush. Mine has gotten worse and I got a new prescription today. I am so thankful that Olivia's has not gotten worse but is just lingering. I am also thankful that it is only thrush and not something worse.
Later in the day I spent a good chunk of time running around trying to find Olivia a costume. Mike and I were not going to do anything because he works on Fridays. However, I got a text from my friend Ellie inviting us to go to the mall and then to her mom's house for dinner. And of course we said yes! But that meant that Olivia needed an outfit.... Ugh, people do not make baby outfits for 0-3 months. It could have been that I actually waited until Halloween to do the shopping. I was sending pictures to my siblings, all of them, of the costumes that I found. I am not even sure what the costume is that I got her! HA! I will let you decide on your own: cupcake? Strawberry sundae (there is a strawberry on top)? Strawberry shortcake? Or just a sweet treat? <3 <3 Last minute shopping!
I really cannot get over how cute this little baby girl is!! So here are some other photos that I took today :)

After our adventures to the mall, we went over to Heather's house for dinner. And just look at these adorable photos of Ellie's 4 year old son Hunter and Olivia.

Tomorrow is the 1st of November. I have seen people in the past post something once a day in the month of November that they are thankful for. I am going to try that this year. One, because I tend to be a pessimist and two because it will help me to make sure that I post everyday :) I am sure there will be days that it is just what I am thankful for and photos of Olivia. But I know there will be no objections.
