I am dedicating this post today to the Turner family. If you are a part of the blogging (and twitter) community then you know what I am talking about. For those of you who are not, here is a brief update.

Julee Turner blogs at The Turner Channel. Over this last weekend she lost her husband, Matt, in a car accident. Today is his funeral. Not only has she lost her husband, best friend and love of life, but they have a beautiful 10 month old baby girl, Preslee, that she will have to go on raising without him.

Words cannot express how sad I am for Julee. I cannot even imagine. But I know that having Preslee will help her through this more than anything. She was their little angel when she was born and now they have a big angel watching over them.

You can read Julee’s post about Matt HERE.

I ask you to pray for Julee and Preslee as these days, weeks, months and years go on.

 Happy October and Happy Fall!

This weekend was pretty low key. I got a lot done around the house which is always a plus. I think I finished decorating for October.  I have other items for November that I will switch out and then obviously change things up in December.

I apologize for the crappy pics, but you get the idea.

Saturday morning our furnace did not start. Well, it started, but it wasn't heating. Thanks to my Dad, he came over and cleaned it enough to get it going. I informed the landlord that I think it just needs a professinal cleaning. They are coming today to do that. So happy though that we didn't have to deal with no heat.

Saturday evening we went to a benefit. Wayne hosted the live auction. It was a spaghetti dinner. So yummy and always for a good cause.

Sunday we watched football all day and I did a few more things around the house. It was a great day... the Vikings won, I got to hang out with my 2 loves, Wayne grilled the best steaks ever for dinner, new Revenge. I just love Sundays.

Now onto my randoms for the week. Linking up with Carissa from lowercase letters for Miscellany Monday.

Anyone else excited for the 6th and final season of Gossip Girl? Starts tonight!

I know I am!

Esquire named Mila Kunis "Sexiest Woman Alive"

If you know me IRL, you know I totally love her and have since That 70's Show!!

According to Entertainment Weekly and their Box office update: Taken 2' took in $18.6 million on Friday! Woo-hoo! I did not get a chance to see it yet, but my parents did and they said it was great.

Have you seen it yet? If so, I'm jealous!

I got this new watch last week. I've been looking for a round black one with just enough bling for quite some time now. Do you like?

My boss got Hailey this book over the weekend at the local Arboretum. Perfect and oh so cute!

This is one I will be putting in the "keep until she is old enough so she doesn't ruin it" pile. We also picked up her costume. She is going to be a cupcake. No pictures until the actual day though. I don't want to spoil the surprise. All I can say is it's simple and warm for the weather if we decide to go out.

I found this festive cutlery for Hailey at Target for $1 each. You can never go wrong with that.

I got to bring Hailey's first school project to work to display. It is a chick. I love having a reminder like this in my office where I can see it on a daily basis. I will be doing a more detailed post all about school soon.

Isn't it cute? I'm defnitley looking forward to more art projects. Thanks for stopping by!

Today I am going to link up with Kay and Allie for Wedded Bliss Wednesday!

Introduce us to your husband!

What's his name? How old? What does he look like?

His name is Wayne and he is 31 years young.

What is your husbands favorite thing to do?

Well, when he does have some downtime, he usually plays video games. He has an Xbox 360 and a Playstation 3. Or he watches some sort of wrestling show (WWE, etc). He does a wrestling radio show besides his normal gig.

Extreme Pro Wrestling Radio

What does your husband do Monday-Friday?

His job is not just Monday - Friday. Most of the time he works evenings/nights and weekends, but occasionally things come up during the day, too. He is the overnight jock for 101.3 KDWB in Minneapolis. He is Big D, which is where I got MrsMamaD from and then when we got pregnant we called the bun in the oven Lil D. 

Monday - Thursdays he is on from 11pm - 5am and Saturdays he is on from 10am-5pm. He also has appearances around town at different times during the week.

What was the FIRST thing you noticed about your husband when you met?

Wow! That was almost 10 years ago. I think it was his confidence. It wasn't a physical characteristic, it was more of how he handled himself that had me intrigued and wanted to know more.

What is your husband's BEST quality?

Oh, so many to choose from. They have probably changed over the years, but I would have to say right now in our lives, since Hailey was born, it is how he is such a great Father to her and Husband to me.

What is your husband's biggest pet peeve?

I am not very good at cleaning up after myself in the kitchen. He hates it.

How does your husband feel about blogging?

He likes it. I used to scrapbook and still do certain things, and he liked me doing that, so I think he likes this too as it is my online scrapbook of some sort.

What is something you do/can do that makes your husband feel loved?

I think just a simple hug or kiss and an "I Love You" with a look in the eye to know I mean business is all he needs.
