Why I love the End of October/Early November....

SPORTS!!!! There are so many different things going on...the end of College Football, mid season NFL, start of the NBA, end of MLB and the beginning of College Basketball :) It makes my heart happy. Not only am I good and busy at work but ESPN and other sports channels are really all that get watched at our house this time of year (besides the occasional shows that we watch regularly; GLEE, Parenthood, Chelsea Lately and Grey's...ok the last 2 are just me lol.

Tonight is the first game of the World Series between the SF Giants and the TX Rangers! I'm a huge Rangers fan (I will always be a Mariners fan too, just a little angry with them the last few years and my 2nd team took over). I've got my MOOSE CLAW shirt all ready to go and I'm pumped! GO RANGERS!

My next thing to look forward to is the College Football end of season and playoffs. YAY!

I love FALL!!!

On Sunday we were able to go to the local pumpkin patch. We went with 2 other couples; Matt and Emily and Matt and Rachel. Matt and Rachel's little guy came along as well. It was a ton of fun. We walked around, got snacks, watch the pumpkin cannon and went on a hay ride where we got to pick pumpkins. Afterwards we went to Matt and Rachel's house and carved our pumpkins! They are all set up on the porch now :) Enjoy the pictures....

We are very excited for Halloween this weekend. Some people from Alex's work are having a party so we are dressing up and getting ready to have a great time!

Playing Catch Up

Even though I don't have very many pictures to show for it, we've both been extremely busy. Mostly with work and not much play :( Fall sports are winding down for me finally and we'll be starting into basketball soon. Alex has been working on a BIG project at work as well as starting his masters back up after taking the summer off for the wedding and a little brain break. We did manage to make it to the Coug game in Oklahoma, which was a serious blast! We also spent a day in Oklahoma City (pictures of both below). We also did a weekend in Lubbock. I went early with a few friends to run the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and then our guys showed up and we had a great time letting loose a little (pics below as well). Miss Gabby is a year old and she's such a sweet puppy. She loves to cuddle, knows how to give hugs (sweetest thing ever!) and is so playful and little bit of a jokester. Hope you enjoy this little update of our lives...next stop - the beginning of basketball, Thanksgiving, Sara's graduate school graduation, and much more :) Love ya'll!
