Moving Forward

Happy November! I went to vote at our local community center after work this past Wednesday. It was the first time that I have ever gone to vote in person (not absentee) since I actually now live in the same state where I am registered to vote.

Since I have been well decided on my Presidential candidate since 2008 I wanted to vote early to avoid waiting in any lines. Well guess what I found when I arrived at the polling place - a line! The coordinating volunteer told us that there has been a steady line every day since early voting opened up. 

So far over 2 Million registered North Carolinian's have cast their votes and I suspect even more will go tomorrow before early voting closes.

As we are moving forward into the end of the year (whhhaaat!?) I have been thinking about some of my favorite parts of November and this season.

1. Our first designated relaxing weekend since we moved to Raleigh.
2. Family dinners with our friends.

Sweet, Sweet Autumn

Friends, today a great day. This is one of my favorite days of the year. Why today? I received an email this morning from one of my favorite companies with a special announcement. 

It's that time of year again when the temperatures drop, the leaves change color, and the Virginia Peanut Company can ship their famous Chocolate Covered Jumbo Peanuts again!!!

The Virginia Peanut Company's Chocolate Covered Peanuts are THE BEST chocolate covered peanuts I have ever had. Seriously guys. I discovered them a few years ago at a craft fair in Maryland that my mom and I went to. Ever since then I excitedly await the day in October when they are released. They are so melt in your mouth good that the company won't ship them between April - October because they will melt in transit!

Their hand selected Jumbo Salted Peanuts and the covered in smooth dark chocolate to give them a unique salty-sweet taste unlike anything else, anywhere! Yes please!

Take advantage of this great news by using the Discount Code "Fall15" now through October 31st 2012 when checking out at www.virginiapeanutcompany.com and receive a 15% discount on all of your purchases.

Friday Favorites

My new Thunderbird boat sole Minnetonkas! I have seen these babies on so many blogs and I had them save in my Amazon wishlist multiple times. When Skwisgaar chewed through my other pair of moccasins, I figured it was time for an upgrade. I love them!

Speaking of shoe loves, I came across these Madison Avenue Espadrille Wedges from Ruche. They are on sale!

This cute list of Autumn enjoyment found here. We have been enjoying numbers 7, 14, and 16 a lot this week. Next Friday we will be celebrating #17 in OHIO!!!

Weekly kitten cuteness! Image found here.

Aaron and I are going downtown in a bit to celebrate Sukkot and Shabbat with the Raleigh Jewish Community then meeting up with friends for First Friday! We don't have too many weekend plans except for visiting the Durham farmers market tomorrow morning and I have to return a coat to Old Navy. 

Hope you have a good weekend!
