A Birthday Party, Travels, Beauty Queens, Conquering Fears, and a Baby Girl

Whew, we've been busy! I just realized I haven't posted in over a month. I really thought there hadn't been much going on to post about, but as I started thinking about what to write I realized how wrong I was. :)

We started our September travels with a trip to Dallas for our sweet niece, Avaree's, 1st birthday party!! We can't believe she's one already! She's growing up to be such a beautiful little angel and already walking - crazy!
Birthday Princess!!

Her first taste of sugar, Yum!! :) 
September held many more weekend trips (mainly for football) and lots of fun times with friends. All this traveling has made our church hunt slow, but we've been visiting a few and working on narrowing down our list. We'll sure be glad when we find our "home" and get settled in!

Visiting Darrin's Mimi

Last weekend I got to go home (Darrin had to stay in SA to prepare for inventory at work) and help the little girls get ready for their boyfriends' homecomings. Me & Chrissy were the "fill in Moms" because Mom was out of town - we decided our parents are superheroes! They were both so beautiful - I am so proud to have 3 beautiful, caring, kind sisters and do miss being around them more often. This weekend is their Rudder homecoming and Kaitlyn has even been nominated for Homecoming Queen!! :) I can't wait to see them all dolled up again.

This week was a week full of [accidentally] conquering my fears! I spent 3 nights alone while Darrin was in Houston for training. While he was gone I managed to cut myself on a paper cutter at work (it wasn't as bad as it sounds) causing me to need a tetanus shot. The next day we had annual flu shots at work - 2 shots in one week UGH!! I also started a new workout routine complete with a pedometer to help put a number to my goals. We topped off Friday night by going to a Haunted House with Andrew and his girlfriend! Whew! Glad I had my handsome Hubby to protect me! :)

The icing on the cake for this post is that my sweet cousin Camille just welcomed her second baby girl into the world on Friday! We're so excited for them and can't wait to meet sweet baby Caroline! According to my mom, her side of the family now has a ratio of 11 boys to 17 girls!

That's all I've got for now, I'll try to keep up better in the future. :) (Yeah, I always say that...)
