10.16

October was another busy month for us.

I officially started selling LuLaRoe, and that has been a really fun adventure so far. I had my launch party and it was very successful!

We also took a fun little trip to our happy place and to Universal Studios to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! As someone who loves HP very much, I fell in love with the Wizarding World. I felt like I was really in Hogsmeade enjoying a nice cold Butterbeer. It was fantastic! We did Mickey's Halloween Party again, which was a lot of fun! We got to ride on everything we really wanted to do in the 8 hours we were there. And then we spent a day in Disney California Adventure. We had a great day taking our time and enjoying some things we hadn't experienced together before. It was our first time riding Grizzly River Run together (I hadn't been on it in 12 years). We also got to ride the new Soarin' and saw the sneak peeks for Moana and Doctor Strange. And we had a lovely lunch at the Cove Bar, eating "secret menu" tri tip nachos. We also went to Tangaroa Terrace at the Disneyland Hotel for dinner. We've never eaten at any of the restaurants in any of the Disney hotels, so that was a fun experience. Overall, we had a great trip and it was really nice to get away to our happy place for a few days.

 Enjoying a cold Butterbeer. We tried a frozen version as well. Both were delicious!

 On Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters. They recently changed to this from the previous version of Luigi's Flying Tires

 We wore our ponchos on the Grizzly River Run so we wouldn't get soaked. And it was a good thing we did.

Every time we've gone to Cars Land, I've always wanted to eat something out of the Cozy Cone Motel. We finally did on this trip!

We also went to our friend's Halloween party again. This year's theme was Good vs. Evil. Everyone's costumes turned out great! We always have so much fun at this party each year.

 Rey and Kylo Ren

 The Little Mermaid and Rey

 Our friend D.W.'s costume was so awesome! Two Star Wars universes collide. Boba Fett and frozen Han Solo

Some other highlights from the month:

I started reading The Last Goodnight with my BCBs. Life has been a little hectic for all of us, so this is the first book we are reading together in a long time. It's been a very interesting read so far and I'm looking forward to finishing it.

My appointments and Pilates are both going great! I've been slacking pretty hard with keeping up with Just Dance. Selling LuLaRoe has been keeping me pretty busy, so it's been hard to fit in time to exercise at home. But I know I need to keep up with it. I feel so much better when I'm doing it five days a week.

We also spent some other fun times with family and friends. It was a great month and I'm looking forward to all November is going to bring!
