Where has the time gone?

To facebook games my friend. Tis sad but true. I have become, what is the saying?, exactly what I hate. Obsessed with games. But hey, I am back, and have regained control over my life...at least enough to write you a little update. Let's review the past couple weeks...

Friday the 31st we drove down to DFW to surprise Ben for his birthday. It wasn't much of a surprise as he told us he was expecting it. Well poo. We had a fantastic weekend staying at Ben and Mer's which was awesome. It was so fun to be around them all day and get to have a sleepover with Syd and Malla. They are such great kids and we miss them so much. Thanks so much to Ben and Mer for letting us crash at your home and feed us all weekend. We had a great time and can't wait for future slumber parties.

That Monday, my brother and I headed into downtown Austin for the Counting Crows concert. It was our birthday presents to each other since we both love the CC's. It was a really fun concert at a great place. I have lower back issues and can't stand that long so I made my brother give up our great standing places to head up stairs so I could sit down. Getting old is hard :) It was a fun night and another reason why I love being in Austin. I get lots more quality time with my bro, whom I've grown to love as we've gotten older. Fun times!

Two weeks later we headed back down to DFW to celebrate my dad's birthday (and Kami's :) ). My brother aslo bought his first new car at the same dealership we got our CR-V. We also went to a Rangers game for my dad's b-day and just had a blast hanging out with my family. We sadly didn't get to see Ben, Mer and the girls, but maybe it's a good thing considering they were all sick :).

Nothing much has been going on. Just getting ready for Heath to start school next week and just putting the little things away in the apartment from moving. I'm hoping to have pictures soon, so stay tuned for the good stuff. Everything is going well and we are still loving being here. Hope all is good with you!
