The Case of the Missing Pumpkin

This evening marked a strange occurrence in the Booth household - our pumpkin was nabbed by a pumpkin thief! Alex and I arrived home shortly after 5:30 and immediately noticed something was missing. No more pumpkin! Neither of us touched it. We thought we might find its nasty carcass in the garbage. No such luck. I can only assume one of the neighbors got tired of looking at it and pitched it for us...


We soon forgot about the pumpkin and quickly moved on to our first priority of the evening (besides dinner) - our newest board game. We spent the last of our birthday funds on a game called Ticket To Ride (Thank you Melissa for the suggestion - we love it!). I won't go into detail now except to say we both really enjoyed the game and look forward to playing it in the future. It's another strategy game, which is our latest guilty pleasure...

The rest of the week has been pretty uneventful. In fact, I think I've blocked most of it from my memory since it involved being crazy-busy at work and not-so-nice to Alex while I was at home. More on that later when it's not 1:00 am.. In the meantime, I'm sure Alex will continue to pray for me to have patience... and I'll keep having trials to break me down until I finally learn that wonderful (and seemingly difficult to obtain) virtue.
