Fall Fun


We've been all over the place this October: Aggie games, pumpkin patch, the zoo (several times), MOPS, and the list goes on.

My favorite outing was to the pumpkin patch. Anne pumped the water, had her face painted, rode the train, helped Abby pick out a pumpkin, and posed for oodles of pictures. Abby enjoyed it as well. She ate some grass, some dirt, and licked some pumpkins.


Anne decided that she would like to be a princess for Halloween so I decided Abby could be a pea. Get it? The princess and the pea :) I sewed Anne's dress and added sparkles. I bought Abby's outfit and made a few alterations. I can't wait to see them together.

Yes, we have officially been living with my parents for three months and things have been going great. I mean who wouldn't love home cooked meals, laundry fairies, and extra help with the girls. We do intend on moving into our own home. A couple of weeks ago we decided to stop building, don't worry we weren't very far along, and take a second look at our options. I went with Scott to look at already built homes and we both went and picked out a brick color for the house. We want to get some definite numbers before we build and make sure that there wasn't a house out there that was move in ready that would meet our criteria before we got to deep into building. We are circling the airport trying to decide which runway to land on. It has been a faith and patience building time for me. Please pray that I will have a joyful attitude during this time of refinement.

BTHO tech!



This post is devoted to my Fight'n Texas Aggies. Saturday, October 25th the Aggies smashed tech, 52-30, in Lubbock. We hadn't beaten tech in Lubbock since 1993. The Aggies had been struggling as of late and this win felt good.

So, I will revel in this win! I went to the best university in the nation so win or lose I would always rather be an Aggie than anything else.

In the words of my dear friend Alicia, "Put your guns away raiders cuz all your doin' is shootin' blanks! Gig 'em Ags!"

Ahh, I feel better now!
