The times they are a changin’ and we couldn’t be any happier.

We went to our first Halloween party last night as Juno and Bleeker. it was tons of fun. it was our 3rd year at this party and it just keeps getting better. the host is www.davo.com and it’s a completely free party with food, drinks, DJ, etc… they just ask for donations at the door. i have more pics posted on my flickr page and more will be added soon.

So, I’m a huge dork and love lunchbox’s and I also try to avoid wasting paper/plastic/etc… so this seemed like the perfect thing for me.

the lid closes tight and the food doesn’t mix or slide around and there’s nothing to throw out, and of course I had to get the pink one!

We went camping in Sterling, MI this past weekend and we went tubing down the Rifle River.

and on the way home we stopped in Pinconning for some cheese. yum!

So VW announced this week that they are building a new plant in Chattanooga, TN and it’s supposed to open in 2011. Michigan was passed up as one of the sites. This is unfortunate because they will most likely eliminate their headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI where Ryan works. There has not been any discussion of the headquarters moving yet, but he thinks it’s coming.
