i've been pretty m.i.a. in the blog-o-sphere lately, and it's not because i hate you all- i've been seriously busy! but im all caught up and can now catch you all up on my really exciting life! ;)

i just realized that i haven't even shared halloween with you all! yikes!

first off, BAYLOR beat TEXAS in austin. OH HELL YES. im still on cloud 9-- baylor could lose the rest of the season and i'd still be happy. SIC EM!

so halloween was a lot of fun! I dressed up as border patrol, and CL took the role as my illegal! haha we went to a party at our friends house on saturday night. he lives above 6th street, so we could see the masses of people on 6th street but from the comfort of kirkland and emmitt's loft.

there was only one incident, involving myself of course! APD busted in because someone threw A CUP OF BEER off the balcony. lame. i think they thought they were going to bust a bunch of underage drinkers, but i was the youngest person there at 25... anyways, the cops accidently kicked the pull up bar off the floating staircase and it clocked me in the head, then took off. i was stunned- it hurt, yes, but it scared me more than anything! i had a pretty nice lump on my head and is still a little sore. luckily i had on a wig, and the bar was padded, so i think that helped a lot!

sunday we took it easy and waited for our ONE trick or treater. hey we had more than last year!

this past weekend was full of fun events!

friday was the Celebration of Life Luncheon! I was on the committee, so it was awesome seeing everything come together so nicely. the luncheon was beautiful, we raised a LOT of money, and everyone enjoyed themselves!

sunday was race for the cure! CL, mom and I all participated, and by participated i mean we all jogged the 5k! it was my first 5k and i am SO proud of myself! it was a little harder than i anticipated- i forget that austin is hilly!!

listy list.

a list. of things i don't understand.

1. being 'fly' like a g6. last time i checked, a g6 was a pontiac... since when are those cool?
2. why people can't be themselves? be yourself. i know imitation is the best form of flattery, but one of me is enough.
3. clothing sizes are seriously out of wack. why can't they all get on a universal sizing chart??
4. why is it that when one area of your life starts to be blissful, everything else falls to pieces?
5. my dogs both have allergies. for real. its like a sneezing, itchy, running nose factory over here. does this mean when i have kids im going to have the ever-present sick kids??
6. i hasn't been november for 10 days and it is already christmas. i mean, im just as excited about the holidays as the next person, but christmas decorations and music already? what happened to thanksgiving?
7. did i miss something or does everyone seem to have started their own photography business? i feel like every time i sign onto facebook, its another photography business! some good, some BAD.
8. i H A T E jealous people. get your own life.
9. im a kind hearted person and people seem to take advantage of me. not that i let people walk all over me, but um hello, im a person too! and i have feelings!
10. the time change is really screwing me up this year! 

my best friend is getting MARRIED!

she said....

!!!!!!!

Sunday afternoon i got some great news! my best friend michelle and her boyfriend  fiance eddie are ENGAGED! i am SO excited and happy for them!! 

eddie and michelle!!

i've known michelle for over 20 years. yea, its really weird to say i've known someone for that long! anyways. i am so happy that she found eddie (we all love him!) and happiness, and cannot wait to get the party started!! 

Congrats yall! xoxo

i voted!

you should too!

this was my 1st time voting ( well im person.. ive usually voted absentee because of school!) it was super easy, and very quick! i was a little confused at where to go and i told the lady 'sorry I keep asking questions, but this is my first time!' she was like 'HEY YALL WE GOT A NEWBIE!!' and then the entire room started clapping. yes. that is my life!

if you haven't already gotten out, the polls close at 7pm!
