Halloween

For Halloween Taylor and Steve dressed up in their western gear as a cowboy and cowgirl at Steve's house and passed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. There weren't too many that stopped by so we passed out handfuls of candy. The trick-or-treaters loved the candy because we had really nice candy top from Snickers, Reese's, and Kit-Kat, which was pretty nice. There was one little boy who stopped by who was really excited to get so much candy he went running back to his mom saying "I won, I won."

Also, it was earlier that week we did pumpkin carving which was a lot of fun and were able to create a nice little pumpkin.

Jon and Kendra Come to Texas

 Steve's brother and his (now fiance) Kendra came out to Texas to visit Steve, and to see about this girl that Steve met out here in Texas :)
I (Taylor) was extremely excited about meeting them and getting to know them :) They came in on that Friday night - so basically all that happened was we picked them up, chatted in the car, then they dropped me off at my house, then they went to Steves to stay --
Saturday morning, they came and picked me up, we stopped at roots, got coffee and some breakfast, then off we were....
We went to do a tour of Steves work, which I thoroughly enjoyed... I hadnt been there before, so i was very excited. to see it.

We went to coopers for lunch... it was so yummy!! :)  (Its my fav. bbq place now)

Then we were off to the stockyards...

 We went back to steves for a little bit and rested for a few hours, then we headed back out to downtown, we ate dinner at Savianos (I love their food) then we went and had ice cream.

Sunday after church we headed to the Cowboys game, where we had excellent seats :)

big day: Church craft fair and Wedding

Saturday October 8th was a very long day for us. It all began very early that saturday morning by going to the church and helping finishing up setting up everything for the craft fair. (the evening before we had gone up there to help set up - we mainly were in the bake sale area helping set up for that part of it....) but needless to say everything was all set...8am rolled around and we were at our "post" - Taylor was at the Raffle table, selling raffle tickets, and Steve was helping wherever they needed him... we got done with our "shifts" and then we browsed around, Steve bough a lovely flower decoration thing for his house.  Taylor got a few items for christmas presents and some things for herself. 

We then went back to Taylors house and hung out, then began to get ready. - We were going to a wedding... some people that Steve works with were getting married... and we were invited. I (Taylor )was excited to be going - to be meeting some of his co-workers. 

The wedding took place in Azle.. about 30 minutes or so away, so we get out there (beautiful place) -as we were getting out of the car, we were quite surprised at how much the temperatures had dropped since we got in the car. (I was just glad i brought a shawl) the wedding took place outside. (beautiful setting) Steve's boss sat next to him, and we talked just a little bit... the couple said their vows, and we all headed inside for dinner and such. we sat at a table mainly with his co-workers we all chatted and had a great time. 

They had a photobooth at the wedding, so we of course had to go take photos...(See below) :)

right after we got inside it started raining.... (it was really good... our summer here in Texas was one of the most dry summers that I know i've seen... )

Taylor Sick

(by Tay)

Sunday morning I didnt wake up feeling all that great - so i decided i would stay home from church and get rest, that way I dont get sick, anymore... My parents were out of town that weekend -- but Steve went to church, ( didnt have anyone to sit with :( ) Then he decided he would surprise me, with lunch, chocolate and a card. - he really didnt have to do all that,It really wasnt all that bad, just needed some rest. - But he did bring me my favorite, from Roots, and then he sat with me all afternoon, watching chickflicks. :)
