happy

we need something non controversial on this blog again. not that politics are bad in any way, but something that requires less thinking, i say.

actually, we are excited to host the presidential debate on tuesday (we as in nashville, not we as in me and wil…’welcome to dinner mr. obama and mr. mccain! we apologize for our crazy horse-dogs…’). it’s actually at wil’s old school, and it’s kind of neat that of three debates and the whole country, one is here in our neck of the woods, in the building across from wil’s old dorm.

they’ve had the event center fenced off for a few weeks for preparation, and last night while buying some snacks at the ghetto gas station across the street, we saw the center lit up like day time with huge banners and pristine planters. kind of crazy.

i haven’t decided if i want to try and be out and downtown just to be part of all of the excitement (even though i know you probably won’t be able to get even within blocks of the whole campus), or just stay at home and actually watch the debate in my pj’s…our friend mike says he just ‘wants to be in the vicinity of history being made’ (coming from a history major, mind you).

we’ll see…but that actually was not what i intended to write at all when i sat down here at the computer…my mind hasn’t been able to stay on course very well recently. wil is sitting down stairs just coming home from work, so i’ll make it short so i can say hellow and hang with him, but i just wanted to say how happy i am it is fall…the leaves are starting to change, the nights and mornings are cool with perfect afternoon temps, and the mums are gracing everyone’s doorsteps (including ours, yay!). i hope to get some pretty pumpkins again and maybe grab my teeny box of october decorations out of the attic to disperse throughout the house. yipee for fall!

and i also am excited for a new haircut…i keep going shorter and shorter the last few times i get it cut, and this is by far the shortest. it’s been chopped off the back and it’s really refreshing. why are new haircuts such a big deal on affecting your outlook on life? everything just seems to be happier with new bangs swept across your face? that is…assuming you like how the cut came out…

wil got his hair cut in the last week or so too…but his never seem to be a drastic change. : )
