Trick-or-Treat, Puppies, & ISU Win

I am a weekend late on this post, but better late than never! Justus and I were excited for trick-or-treaters on Friday night. Growing up in the country, we never had a trick-or-treater. I bought a 80+ pieces bag of candy in my excitement for our first trick-or-treaters. Thank goodness I bought that 80 piece bag for our FOUR trick-or-treaters. Needless to say, the kiddos on the street got a handful of candy from us.

Saturday morning we finally acted on all our talk...we put a deposit on a puppy! We discussed what kind of dog we wanted for along time, but always came back to a Goldendoodle. Once we settled on a Goldendoodle we did our research on breeders. We learned there are standard, mini, F1, F1b, various colors, etc. Mini Goldendoodles were crazy expensive and a little smaller than what we wanted. We found a good breeder that breeds standard F1 (golden retriever w/poodle) and F1b (Goldendoodle w/poodle). We will be getting a female F1b Goldendoodle in February. The puppies are due in early December. We are happy to be getting a F1b for a few reasons. This "version" of Goldendoodle is even more hypoallergenic, won't shed (if it does, very little), 40-50 lbs, and curlier. I don't want the holidays to go by fast, but we can't wait for February when we get our puppy!

Justus came across FREE Iowa State vs. Texas football tickets for Saturday night's game. ISU is terrible this year, but the seats were good and the tickets were free. We are glad we went because ISU finally had a win. Not just a win, but a shutout against Texas! The new QB and offense looked much better. It was great weather, great seats, and a great time with Andrew and Katy. I should also note the renovations to the stadium make a big difference. It felt like a whole new stadium. I also appreciate that the new end zone is a windbreaker!

Ready for some ISU football!
