Well I know it’s been way too long, so my apologies… 
After I last wrote, we went to Cabo! Yea! We had such a great time, but it was definitely a unique trip for a few different reasons:
• First, we were there to celebrate our 2nd anniversary which was so fun
• We were also there to celebrate a friend’s wedding (Jonathan and Heather) – Jonathan was in my grad program at school and he and Heather have been together forever, so it just so
happened to fall on our anniversary weekend so we said, “why not?!” as we don’t get to see them hardly ever as they now live in Georgia
• We were shooting to also make it a dive vacation (4 day trip so give us a couple days in between to dive)
• First time to stay in an all-inclusive resort so we tried to eat and drink as much higher-priced stuff as possible to get our money’s worth
• We attended a time-share presentation for 1.5 hours and then they paid us $300 in CASH
• There was a huge storm off in the Caribbean somewhere else which created the most monstrous waves EVER… I mean I’ve seen big waves, but the intensity of which these guys were pounding the shore was so incredible that I really was scared… it was so loud that you could be a 400 yards away from the beach and it sounded like thunder, clear as day… so intense, and I thought to myself, if the wrath of God had a sound, that would be it, man… whew!
• Because of the huge storm, we only got 1 dive out of our planned 6 in… bummer… but the one dive was really cool! We saw two seahorses (YEA – our first ones to see in the wild so far!), a nice sized moray eel that I spotted (YEA! I was so proud), some great fish, and a HUGE school of sardines… I mean when I say hug
e I mean millions. This was our first experience with so many fish at once… it was such a cool and bizarre feeling to be in the middle of all of these guys, and they’re literally forming all around you to still be clumped up, yet when you reach out to touch them you don’t touch one because they’re SO fast! They were so thick that we could look up (and I’d say we were about 30-40 feet deep so still within much sunlight distance) and it was just DARK! Wow, so fun…
So overall it was an awesome trip, but definitely very mem
orable because of all of the unique stuff about it… we had some great meals, great time relaxing by the pool, fun exploring the town (there was a huge fishing tournament going on, and we saw a very large marlin!), and a great time just enjoying some time away.
Then came Halloween, which most of y’all that know me know that it’s one of my favorite holidays! This year we decided to go as Shaggy, Daphne, and Maverick as Scooby! :-) We even took Maverick to the Halloween All Area YL club (as he was part of
our costume) and he was a huge hit, and SO well behaved… he has been such an angel lately, it’s so wonderful! We only had *2* trick-or-treaters on the actual Halloween night, but Curt and I had carved our pumpkins that weekend, I had decorated, and we had Campaigner’s at our house so I was at least distracted by all of that fun with our YL kids and other leaders, so all in all it was an awesome Halloween despite the lack of kiddos ringing doorbells… it so stumps me because we have kids in our neighborhood, but I’m thinking that they all were taken to Market Street as we live so close?! So anyway… yea for Halloween and PUMPKINS! October is so my favorite month… sigh….
And now it is November… I’ve started a new project which requires me to commute an hour away (ugh) but it’s ok so far, and only 3 weeks left on it so it’s a pretty short one. We’re very busy and stressed currently with getting our house in Fort Worth ready to sell, so we have a double mortgage starting this month so we went up last weekend, and I’ll be going up again this weekend, but we’re feeling really positive so hopefully all will go well and the perfect person will walk into our house and fall as much in love with it as we did!
So that’s the latest… I’ll try to update again SOON!
Love,
