Time flies....

I can't believe it's Wednesday already. My friend was a gorgeous bride this past weekend and they are off playing in Cancun as I write. We had a great time and everything went very smoothly. It poured down rain (bits of Rita coming up into Little Rock area) all day Saturday and Saturday night, but the sun was out for a beautiful day on Sunday for the ceremony and reception.

Please remember my parents to the Father right now, they are sick again. Mom is doing better now, but Dad still is in the throes of a bad cold. It also started raining there again yesterday and the forecast is calling for even more this round than the last two times they've had floods, so they are preparing again in the city for flooding. This week and next week they've had a break from their Thai lessons since they finished the first 60-hour course, but they will be starting up again the 2nd week of October. 7 more weeks and I'll get to see them!

I was so thankful to hear that both families dear to me that live in the Houston area are safe and sound. They both got out of town to stay with other family in the state for the duration and have both returned home to only limbs down and no major damage to homes or property and electricity back on.

As I begin looking at my schedule for the next couple weeks, it leads me into the following couple weeks and before you know it the holidays will be here. The next couple weekends I have the joy of having two of my cousins respectively here in town to visit me. It will be a nice change from traveling. This coming weekend Michael bought tickets are we are going to the Titans vs. Colts game. This will be my 1st ever Titans game, but my 3rd NFL stadium to attend a game in (I've been to Colts games in Indy and Cowboys games in Dallas). I'm looking forward to a good time, I think the weather is cooling off and little and hopefully it will be a little more like football weather.

Then the end of the month I'll take another weekend to go to my grandparents' and stay with them and help them out. The first weekend of November I'm holding a baby shower at my place for a good friend. We are going to make her birth announcements at the shower and just have some snacks and fellowship. Since this is their third, she doesn't really need much, so we are just going to have fun and celebrate!

I've also begun to think about Christmas gifts. Some I have, some I don't but I have ideas for and some I have no clue. But never fear, I've been here before it's familiar territory. Those who know me well, know that Christmas in my world lasts from about Thanksgiving to the end of January, depending on the travel schedule and who I will see when. Nevertheless, I know there are things that I intend to make that I need to get started on.

Be careful... don't blink... when you do it will already be 2006!
