November - 1 year anniversary!
December - Nothing yet. Christmas?May - Mother's Day? lol. Actually I do love going to brunch, but I'm the only one... so this is like the only day of the year we go. May is also the "start" of river season, and that's always fun. Also my SIL's birthday.
June - my little brothers birthday! Also Father's Day this month, so I'm sure there will be some big bbq happening. Orange County Fair!
July - DH's birthday! It's also my MIL's birthday this month, she's turning 60 & my FIL is planning some big shindig (rumors of hiring a sushi chef are swirling!) 4th of July festivities, and our best friends (who live in CO) will be visiting!
August - My birthday!
Also my moms birthday! Last year we did a co-birthday party because our bdays are less than a week apart. I wonder what we'll do this year?! We will also be going to a 1st birthday party this month, and I'm so excited about it because I love this family & the birthday girl! edit - I knew I forgot something - Dave Matthews Band concert!
September - FIL's birthday. He hates when you spend any money on him or make any fuss, so who knows what we'll be doing.

November - THANKSGIVING. My favorite holiday, need I say more? Plus Thanksgiving is when DH & I "legally" got married. So it's kinda special int hat way. Also my brothers girlfriends birthday. She's really like a sister to me. Love her!
December - well of course there is Christmas... and I don't think there are any birthdays this month... so that's nice, lol. I usually look forward to the nice cool weather in December.This is tough b/c the only thing I have planned for some months are work trips that I'm not exactly looking forward to! We do a lot of day or weekend trips when the weather is nice but often don't plan very far ahead for those.
