- haircut and Goodwill shopping spree
- eating at Easy Street Records & Cafe for the first time
- pumpkin patch at Swan's Trail
- ferry ride to Bainbridge :)
- Halloween party
- trick-or-treating

Watching | Nate Bargatze Be Funny Tour
Such a fun double date in the city! I love a good comedy show.  

Eating | Homer
Celebrated my birthday with a ladies night out at Homer. The food and company were spectacular! Hot tip -- have Wendy order for the table :) 

Reading | Salem's Lot by Stephen King
I read my first book by the masterful Stephen King and really liked it! His descriptions were engaging, and I loved how he built a cast of characters and let the story unfold. Don't think I'll ever venture into his true horror -- a classic vampire tale in October was spooky enough for me :)  

Listening | True Grit by Charles Portis 
I was so surprised at how much I loved this classic western. I think the audiobook version definitely enhanced my experience since Donna Tartt does a fantastic job capturing Mattie Ross' spunk and independence. I loved the language, characters, and most of all the dialogue.
