Ah, Fall! Our favorite - and busiest - time of year! We are sooo excited that Aggie football has started back and the temperatures have started to drop. Seriously, you wouldn't believe how many times I heard "I'm so excited for Aggie football!" last week! And how many mornings I went to work NOT soaked in sweat - I love it! Bring on that Fall weather!!!!!
We have been awfully busy in other areas lately too:
1. I got a job! I am the new Investment Services Administrator (aka Assistant to the CEO of Investment Services:)) for SWBC - Southwest Business Corp. So far I'm really loving the job and the people I work with. Not to mention it's one of the best companies to work for with awesome benefits like a free gym membership that might actually motivate me to workout! (Ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.)
2. We got a new car! Thanks to the model year end deals we were able to get a car that Darrin's long legs can fit in and we LOVE it! It's a sassy red Ford Edge. Below is a picture of me by my pretty new car after my first day of work. (Hello real world!) Quite possibly the coolest feature on it is called Sync. I can throw my purse in the back of the car and talk on my phone (through the speaker system in the car) while I'm driving down the road without ever using my hands. It's all voice activated! I'm totally HOOKED!
3. "On the road again...and again...and again" We've been traveling a LOT lately! We went to the lake with "the Crew" a few weeks ago to celebrate the 3 birthdays (Darrin, Patricia, and Hannah) that fall within about a week and a half and spend some QT relaxing with friends before we start back to, well, being busy. We also went back to B/CS to kickoff a new season of Fightin' Texas Aggie football, WHOOP!!! :) There are many more trips planned in the coming months, but I won't mention them just yet since this is the internet.
4. Our sweet little babies are growing like weeds! They are the funniest little things with lots of silly personality! I know they're "only cats" but these kids provide us with hours on end of entertainment and laughter. They are the most curious things in the world and we love them to pieces!
Here's some pictures from the last few weeks, enjoy! JB
