YAY!!!!

Whew, I managed to get to Texas and back in a weekend AND complete my photo assignment for my history class!

The photo assignment that my professor said "can not be completed in one day" WAS completed in one day! (oh, snap, Mr. Professor!)

After my trip this past weekend I was excited that my traveling was over for a bit. (Who doesn't love being in the airport/air plane from 11 a.m. until 6:40 p.m. on a Sunday??) But it seems as though I will be hitting the road and airport again in November.

I will be spending my first Thanksgiving away from the Hubby. (In 9 years!!!!!) My favorite Aunt has a terminal illness and we are all making the trip to FL to see her one last time. So, I get to enjoy a 12 hr car ride to Lakeland, FL the day before Thanksgiving and then fly out of Tampa the day after. I am excited for the time with her but am not looking forward to the travel or missing the shopping!

Our Texas trip was great but short. Tyler's team lost their game pretty badly but he played well. We all enjoyed The Salt Lick bbq- very much... I think we went through 2.5 plates of meat. I highly recommend it! Pics to come later.....

In other news...

Is it possible to expect the unexpected? Maybe not literally ... but it is absolutely necessary to keep your mind, heart and soul open to all the wonderful possibilities that are about to come your way. Most importantly, don't get bogged down in old, outmoded ideas of what things 'have' to be like or what you 'should' do. The stars are telling you it's time to explore your options and take a chance even when it scares you. Be bold.

October!

Today I'm having a hard time focusing on my job. I think it is because I am super relaxed for the first time since school started. I finally, FINALLY got my History paper back and I got an "A"! Now, I have my first indication that I am on track and that things won't end in a horribly dramatic mascara smearing crying jag. (It really wouldn't be that horrible and I don't even wear mascara but I was feeling a dramatic vibe.)

This month is going to be a very good month, I can feel it!

I got my flu shot this morning and have arranged to get my pneumonia vaccine this weekend. I am excited about both of those shots as I have had pneumonia twice in the past 3 years and am determined not to get it again.

I might be (wouldn't hold my breath) getting a raise at my 2 year review at work. The first year seemed to fly by but I have felt every second of this past year. I am so excited that the end of the road is coming! 66 working days left..........

We are taking a trip to Austin Oct 23-25 to see kids and Friday night High School football! Tyler was the starting nose guard but something happened to one of the players and now he is the starting left tackle. It's good that he is versatile, right? All of the terminology makes sense to Dwayne and he tries to explain it to me. I know just enough to know that he went from a defensive position to an offensive line position...and I guess he tackles people? Anyway, we are headed down to hang for a couple of days and are going to try and make it to The Salt Lick (as featured on "Man Vs. Food").

I'm getting my teeth cleaned on Oct 15! I LOVE going to the dentist, weird I know.

Things aren't as hectic right now which is very nice. I seem to have settled into a good balance with school and things.

I'm listening to the 60's on 6 and love it. (Sirius) I really think I was born in the wrong decade. It has helped me survive the loud, ghetto, unintelligible ramblings that surround me at work.

Now I just need to find a cool something or place to do/go for Halloween!
