=== Fall Writer's Block ===

     Alright, so I've been trying for the past couple weeks to come up with something fall-related to post about. I've wanted to talk all about the pretty colours, the yummy food, and the perfect temperatures at this time of the year... but unfortunately I just can't think of enough to tell you all about.

     Around here many of the leaves go from green to yellow and then fall off right away. There are a few trees which get to orange and very few which get to red; it's a quick Fall season in these parts. One day I'd like to go travel somewhere where the Fall season would be much longer and more beautiful. I've heard there are some places in the US where things change all sorts of colours and stay that way for a long time.

     Turkey seems like it can take just as long to make as the Fall season. It's a lot of work to get cooked, but once it's done it's one of the best foods around. I know my fiancee would happily eat turkey pretty much every day if she could. I could live without turkey... as long as I had a massive supply of stuffing; that's my personal favourite. We've been working on making more interesting meals around home recently as well, which is another story of it's own.

     Besides the serious wind storms we've had recently the temperatures have been awesome as they always are at this time. We set a new record for wind speed at 130 km a couple weeks ago. And yet, it was still a pretty nice temperature outside. Luckily for me I managed to get home after work before the wind storm started up. I'm hoping everything stays like this for a little bit longer. At least long enough that Halloween night isn't too chilly.

Well anywhos, that's all for now! ^_^

=== What's The Date Today? ===

     Carley and I went on a date today for the first time in a while. Today I remembered that it's really easy to forget to spend proper time together outside of the house. We tend to get into habits where we watch TV and play games and do the same old things over and over again. Now that's not a bad thing to be happy with what we have and what we do.

     Sometimes we get so busy with me working, Carley taking care of Isabelle, and then trying to spend the rest of our time with friends, that we run out of time to spend doing special things together. So today we finally got a chance to go to a movie together and we had a wonderful time. It was really nice to be able to do something for once rather than just sitting around (though I do really enjoy the regular things we do as well).

     Having dates together is something so easy at first when you start dating somebody. It's so simple to make anything into a date when you don't live together. You actually have to try to plan things out and spend time with each other at someone's house or outside somewhere. A little tip for everybody out there who may be in a relationship or thinking about getting into one: it's way too easy to forget how to spend that special time together once you live together. As simple as it might seem to hang out together in the same room, that's not always good enough. Sometimes you have to go out of your way to do something special for your partner; make breakfast in bed for them, get some flowers, or maybe write a poem.

     So here we are having a great time together after going out to our movie this evening. We decided to finish playing The Walking Dead: The New Frontier tonight so that we can move on to different games. What a wonderful series; but that's of course for another time when I'm reviewing another game.

Have a wonderful night everybody, and don't forget to show your loved ones how much you care.
