Hi guys!\u00a0 We need to jump in the way back machine for a minute, all the way back to Friday evening!<\/p>\n

\"whiteWow does that picture look really dark?\u00a0 Hrm, dunno what happened there.\u00a0 I had a glass of white and some dark chocolate Friday evening while watching the Pens game.\u00a0 I was passing out tired too, so I only made it through two periods before having to call it a night.<\/p>\n

Scott and I ended up not being able to attend MT<\/abbr> yesterday morning.\u00a0 Guys I can’t even being to tell you how crazy our fall has been!\u00a0 Literally since September we have just been loaded down with things to do and get accomplished.\u00a0 Yesterday we had to shop.\u00a0 And yup, I mean that fully, we HAD to shop.\u00a0 I’ll explain in a sec.<\/p>\n

\"coffeeSince I knew we were going to out and about all day long, we needed big time fuel.\u00a0 I made a big batch of pumpkin oats with a huge honey crisp added in.\u00a0 Good thing too because we were gone all day long.<\/p>\n

Shortly after breakfast we packed up and headed out to Kohl’s.\u00a0 Here’s the thing: neither Scott nor I have nice wool winter dress jackets.\u00a0 In fact I’ve never owned one before in my life and I’m pretty sure that Scott hasn’t either unless you count his military uniform dress jacket.\u00a0 Which while nice, really isn’t appropriate.\u00a0 We needed these jackets because it’s always a good idea to have a decent dress jacket and because we needed them for the wedding we are going to (which is today, Sunday).\u00a0 Nothing like last minute, eh?<\/p>\n

We have been looking for jackets for a long time and not finding what we wanted.\u00a0 If by chance I found a style I liked, the store didn’t have my size.\u00a0 We scored paydirt at Kohl’s.\u00a0 Scott found a jacket he liked and I found one that not only I like, is in my size!\u00a0 Wooo!\u00a0 I also found a casual dress and some fancy pants shirts too.<\/p>\n

\"Scott\"Me<\/p>\n

After Kohl’s we headed over to TehKu<\/a> because Inggrie was doing a fall tea tasting!\u00a0 It was after 3pm by this point and both of us were a bit hungry.\u00a0 We decided to have some lunch first.<\/p>\n

\"soupI had half a salad and soup.\u00a0 My salad had mixed greens and lots of lovely spinach, apples, cranberries, cucumber, feta, and candied walnuts drizzled with a raspberry vinaigrette.\u00a0 The soup was a creamy potato soup!\u00a0 Everything is homemade at Tehku, including the dressings!\u00a0 I inhaled my salad and had half the soup.\u00a0 Both were awesome!<\/p>\n

\"Teas\"There were five teas to taste and you also got a scone as part of the tasting.\u00a0 I saved my scone for later!\u00a0 The teas from left to right were:<\/p>\n
