Home to stay :)

Well I think we are finally done with the marathon of busyness that has been our life for the past year. I was thinking about it, and our life has literally not been in a routine since last November when we left for Florida to go on the 21TEN cruise -- I have to say, it feels good to be home to stay for a while :)

As busy as the past year has been though -- the past 2 weekends had to have been two of the most fun.

On September 30th we woke up at 5:30am and jumped in the car to head to Houston for Trayce and Ger's wedding. It was a long drive, but Rob and I really enjoyed the 18 hours (yes, that's right.. EIGHTEEN) we had to spend together in the car just talking and hanging out. I think I might have actually ran out of things to say by the time we got home!

We pulled into the hotel around 3 and took a quick power nap before meeting everyone at the church for rehearsal. When that was done we had the BBQ rehearsal dinner then went out with the wedding party later that night.

The wedding was at 2:00 on Saturday -- so after waking up and getting ready we met Danielle and Tucker for lunch before heading to the church to help Trayce get ready for the big day! The wedding was beautiful and the reception was SO much fun. We had a blast hanging out with everyone then got back in the car and headed back to Lubbock the next morning.

The Thursday after the wedding our friends Britt and Lance flew in from Austin to spend a few days with us for the Tech/A&M game. It was so much fun having not only them in town, but so many other people, too! At one point on Friday night I think I counted at least 16 friends gathered around our table at Mesquites... it's so much fun when everyone comes to visit for Tech games :)

We went out each night and tailgated the whole day of the game -- I definitely wouldn't want to live the college lifestyles EVERY weekend anymore, but once or twice a year when we have all of friends around, it's fun to relive the "good ol' days"!

As fun as the past two weekends have been, I'm so excited to get into a routine for the next several months. We are officially home to stay until January 1st when we head out to Park City, Utah for a few days of snowboarding before attending the SOC Recruiting Mastery event that next weekend in Salt Lake. Then in March, we will hopefully be flying out to Hawaii for a few days courtesy of SOC on the 2012 Incentive Trip! We are currently qualified, but definitely need to keep our heads in the game to make sure we STAY qualified over the next few months!

If I think our days from now through January will be boring though, then I obviously must not be thinking straight. We have several more big Tech games coming up where I know we'll be hanging out and cooking with family and friends, the Vintage Adult Halloween Ball, and two nights of giving out candy to trick-or-treaters here in the neighborhood. Before we know it, we'll all be gathered around the table watching the 'Boys play on Thanksgiving, then celebrating Christmas soon after that.

It's crazy how the time flies and how life is always so busy. We are SO blessed though -- because 99% of the things we do are so much fun, and we are always making memories. If you ask me, that's really what life is all about :)
