Pumpkin Patch & Exciting Stuff!!!

So we've been getting very stressy lately because it's jobhunting time for Blayne, and with the economy being so crappy people aren't doing as much hiring as usual. Well, Blayne is through with his first round interviews and has office visits with 3 firms so far- YAY!!! I actually dropped him off at the airport this morning- so I am a single parent for a couple of days- not so yay! I feel worse for Blayne though, I took him to the airport today at 11:30 am to go to Portland, he gets back on Thursday at 10:15 am, then goes straight to class for a quiz after an all night flight, goes back to the airport after class to go to Sacramento, then gets back here at like midnight on Halloween night. He's then home for the weekend with a ton of studying and stuff to do because he has a presentation on Monday morning, then goes back to the airport Monday afternoon to fly to Eugene, then get's back at like 10:15 Wednesday morning and goes straight to class. That's as far as we know so far, but if he gets more calls, which we're hoping he does, then he might have more trips- CRAZY!! Man, I'm tired just writing about it, poor guy. Sorry, that was probably really confusing. I am pretty jealous though, he gets to see family- I want to see family!!!! Only a little over a month until we get to go home for Christmas- EXCITING!!!!

Ava and I went to the pumpkin patch for a ward activity, we were both sick when we went, but desperately needed to get out of the house. We're finally getting better, but then what happens??? Hutcheson sisters will understand what I mean when I say that I got "poop-face"!!! Yep, that's right- a big, humongous cold sore right under my nose- SICK!!!! I seriously think it might be one of the biggest ones that I have EVER had and it hurts like crazy!!! Well, on a happier note- here are some cute pictures...


She's wearing my beanie, but I think it's really cute, and it actually doesn't fit her too bad, we got her a new one the other day that covers her little ears better.



They had a hay maze and in the middle of it was this area of loose hay and a slide. Her shoe came off in this, but luckily I saw it come off so it didn't get lost or anything.

They also had this thing, it was like a sandbox, but it was full of corn instead of sand, Ava played in that for quite a while and then SCREAMED when I took her to the car to go home. That was fun- hahaha!!! All in all, we had a good time, Ava really liked it. I wish we would have had a chance to go back with Blayne, but oh well, next year.


Well, Blayne just called from a layover in Chicago, he got a call from another firm in Portland, so he'll have another trip some time next week. Man this is going to be a stressful couple of weeks, but when it's over he'll hopefully have a job and a HUGE weight lifted off of our shoulders!!! I'm just excited for that time!!
