Date Day in Toledo

On Saturday Kyle took me to the Toledo Art Museum. We had a lot of fun admiring the paintings and sculptures. Here are a few pictures of our favorites.A beautiful chandelier! I want it in my home one day.

Rainy Day in Boston.....our favorite city!

One of Kyle's favorites from the day.

The Garden of Eden. It was beautiful painting.... definitely one of my favorites!

The coffin of Ta-Mit. It was really cool!

We ate lunch at the Museum Cafe. All of the sandwhiches were named after artists. I ordered the Da Vinci.

Kyle had the Warhol. They were very yummy.On our way home we stopped to get me a Sweet Tea. So good!

We also stopped at Rouche du Boute, a small park. It had a cool old broken down bridge that provided a good photo op.

I love taking pictures! Making memories!!!

The scenery was absolutely beautiful! God sure created an incredible earth!

We had a great day together! Date days/nights are so much fun and they give us another way to learn more about each other. Marriage sure is a wonderful thing!

John McCain Rally!

On Thursday, Oct. 30, I (Amanda) was able to attend the McCain rally right here in Defiance. It had been 54 years since a candidate for president had been to Defiance. It was a neat experience and I'm glad I was able to be a part of it.

The secret service were everywhere. I guess it's better to be on the safe side.

They had this huge flag and a sign that read Country First. I surprised myself and actually got choked up seeing our flag and the sign. John McCain getting ready to speak.I personally hope that McCain is elected president. I fear what will happen to our country if that is not the outcome. Please pray that God's will is done in our country during this election.The Obama protestors that were there.My ticket and campaign buttons! A piece of history.

Corn Maze and Pumpkin Carving

On October 25 we went to a corn maze and pumpkin patch! We had so much fun together! Here we are on our way to a day of fun!

The corn maze was a little muddy but well worth it!

We were given a paper that had 10 questions on it. When you came to a post that had that number on it you answered the question and if you were right you would be going the right way. It took us awhile sometimes but we made it through.We finally made it to post 10 and we're on our way out!We picked our own pumpkins to carve that afternoon.They had a cute pumpkin measuring stick!I'm not any bigger this year.On our way home we stopped at the Independence Dam. It was beautiful with all of the trees around it changing colors!Of course we took a few pictures!Kyle cleaning out the insides of our pumpkins.Kyle's finished product! It was freezing the whole time we carved them but we did it!My finished product! I was completely frozen.Our pumpkins all lit up! They looked pretty awesome!We had an incredible day together and even though it was really, really cold at times we would have done it all over again!

Apple Pie

Today I decided to try making a homemade apple pie. It took me awhile to get the dough made and to figure out how to put it all together but I did it! I baked my very first homemade apple pie!

Fall Fun

The leaves are changing colors like crazy around Defiance. I love the colors of fall and wanted to capture their beauty along with my husband! I also tried out some of my editing skills. I hope that you enjoy! :)

Happy Sweetest Day!

I have the best husband in the world!!! He definitely did a great job on this "love day". Kyle got up before I did and went to the store to get my gifts. He came home and surprised me with these beautiful flowers, yummy cookies and funny yet romantic card!

We enjoyed spending the day with each other and family in Toledo! Let's hope the Red Sox win to make this a really great Sweetest Day!!!!!

I love my husband!!!
