Today is the last race of the season! I'm extremely sad, but it's also a good thing. When Nascar ends, I know that is the start of our "busy season". Actually it starts November 1st. That's Donovan's birthday. He's 25 finally, so we'll be the same age for a few months...that is until I turn 26! (How old am I?!) After his birthday a few weeks later it's Thanksgiving, followed closely by his mom's birthday, My brother in laws birthday and my brother's birthday! Then we move forward a few weeks and we have Christmas and My sister Jamie's birthday. A week later and it's New Years and my niece's birthday. One more week and it's our 1 year anniversary! A week and half later: My birthday, then Valentine's Day which ends our craziness and ironically Nascar season starts (usually) that same weekend. So I tell Donovan that means he should be a race car driver because our life fits perfectly into the Race season :) So I'll just have to plan my pregnancies around that, lol.
So that's a forcast of our weeks to come...as of right now, Donovan is out at an autocross event. That's where you race your own car in an obstacle type thing..they time you and you hope to be best in your class. I'm not aware of any prizes, maybe a trophy. He's hanging out with his new friend who's actually raced in REAL races, which is very exciting to us! So while he's there, I'm here, updating our blog. Which is better, really, since it's REALLY cold out today and it's nice and toasty here in my room.
As far as what I've been up to...not much really. I still work as for the same families watching their kids. However, I'm trying to start my own side business of making custom invitations for special events like birthdays, bridal showers, baby announcements, weddings and so on. I'm already doing some for my niece's birthday and hopefully a holiday card for a friend. I love doing it and it's so much fun to finally do something creative. What's even better is that I have a work space and everything, so I can just walk away from the mess when I'm designing and just shut the door! I love that!
Our roommate moved out yesterday! Finally! Not that he was a bad roommate but it will be nice to be able to wake up, go downstairs in my pj's and not worry about anyone seeing me. And someone not using my butter...for some reason that really bothered me.
Anyway, it's almost noon, about time for the pre-race show! My last taste of NASCAR for the year, have to soak it ALL in!
Hopefully I'll have a chance to update before things get too crazy, but with my sister getting Married in the midst of all the craziness, Don't hold your breath!

Ok, so your blog is mostly about racing!
We have a really busy season as well. Eli's bday, Thanksgiving, our anniversary, all the Christmas festivities, Christmas, New Years, and both of our bdays are in January. It's fun though!
I'll try to get the word out about your custom invitations. That is, if you're good with doing long distance orders.
Yeah, I am, as long as the one's ordering them are too..with digital cameras and such, it's easy to do all of it online...and it's only a little about racing, but since we go and watch a lot of racing, it's only natural I would talk about it....but for the next few months it will mostly be about other stuff, since the season is over now :(
