Random Thoughts

1. So excited for some upcoming fun! This Saturday morning, Carly, Carina, and I are running in a Halloween 5K. It'll be fun to dress up. :) This Saturday NIGHT, Carly/Tom and Jacob/I are going to eat at a GREAT new restaurant near the Fox, Magnolia, and then going to see Wicked! I'm so psyched. I saw Wicked in Atlanta a couple of years back with my brother/sis-in-law, and can't wait to see it again! Sunday Issa's school class is singing at their church -we'll have fun taking her to the choir there on Sunday. Halloween is coming up! Our n'hood is having a parade, and both girls are going to be princesses.
2. Work is still great - I love working 3 days a week and spending 2 quality days with my girls. It allows me to balance home/work, which I am loving right now.
3. We'll get to go to the GA/AU game 11/15ish weekend - with Jacob's cousin/his wife, brent/rachel (sis-in-law/brother), and we'll leave thekiddos at thelakehouse - my parents are coming to stay there with the kiddies!
4. I'm about to go get my bread crumbs/parmesan breaded catfish off the grill - Mmmmmmm for fall roasted veggies too. I love grilling out in the fall!
Happy Fall Y'all!
