I don't have too much for halloween decor in my house but I found this little guy at a boutique shop in a small town nearby and couldn't pass him up. He makes me smile every time I look at him :)

Newbies
I found these two new products at Brennans specialty foods last week. The first is Kiwi Berries. I'm a huge fan of regular Kiwi and thought these were so cute! You eat them whole like a berry. I was hoping they would be a bit more tart and sweet but they could be at different times of the year. (Do tart and sweet go together?! haha- because that's how I would describe a kiwi!) The other product is sweet potato chips. These are more common nowadays I'm sure. They were pretty good and not to bad for you on the calorie count although not nearly as salty and oily as regular potato chips.

New York City
The youth group I volunteer with at my church is taking 180 high school students to New York City for the next 4 days and I'm one of the lucky winners that gets to go with! We have two double decker buses and a full motor coach that will hold those 180 plus 40 volunteers! It'll be a fun long weekend as I'll have about 15 girls and we'll decide what we want to do and where we want to go! On Friday half of our full group will be going to see the broadway play, In the Heights which just happens to star a friend of mine from High School, Courney Reed! This trip is totally a relationship building trip, and some/many of the students have never set foot in our youth group before. I like the concept of having an event that has no planned teaching, team building or schedule. The beauty is that all of those things will have the opportunity to happen organically. I'm so looking forward to getting to know these girls better, having lots of laughs and trekking around the city. Wish us luck and if you feel led- please pray for our safety and the opportunities I will get to have deeper conversations.

Postage Stamp Moments
 |
| My new stamps remind me of all the fun with cards we have at the lake. I 'm also a fan of the colors ;) |
The CEO of the company I work for once said that we should look for postage stamp moments throughout our day. If you go to the post office and ask to buy stamps by default they'll sell you the normal "forever" stamps. This is the easy safe bet as these stamps never go out of date. But for the same amount of money you can pick out fun creative stamps and not only does it make a moment of your life brighter, it'll brighten a moment for someone else as well. All this being said, the postage stamp moments are those that bring a smile to your face, a glimpse of fun in your day or a glimmer of sparkle in a worn out world. I really liked that metaphor. Sometimes the details do matter, and I'm trying to pay more attention to the postage stamp moments that are out there to make me smile ;)

Corn Maze
A bunch of us went to a corn maze in Lodi on Friday night. I cannot tell a lie as I was mostly along for the "ride" (or walk!) and didn't help with directions too much ;)
