Is it really November?

I've almost been in Wausau two months now and I feel like I'm settling in and learning a lot about reporting (even if it's the hard way sometimes).

I've had fun hanging out with the reporters from work. Yesterday we all dressed up for Halloween. I was Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's (a couple people guessed it). I'm bummed we didn't take pictures though.

At work, I've gotten a few neat assignments. I went down to Madison to learn more about the Wisconsin National Guard. They're deploying 3,500 soldiers to Iraq in February - the largest operational deployment since World War 2.

I also got a ride in a fire truck! Here's the story:

Another cute story about fire safety:

I went trick-or-treating (sort of):

I watched as others raked leaves:

And I saw bowls signed by Jon Bon Jovi, Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Some pictures of my living room. I have a couch donated by family friends.






























This is my reading area in my bedroom.

Hey, I wish you had pictures of your Halloween party as well. I'm sure you were a darling Audrey Hepburn!! Every year I say I'm going to dress up as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's, but it has not happened yet.

What are your holiday plans? Any chance you'll make it by Champaign again soon? Actually, it would be awesome if you, Kate, Johanna, Mel, and I could all meet up in Chicago for a day or two. What are your weekends like?
