I miss home......Brylee is turning 1 this month, and as much as I hate to say it, i missed her actual birth day and im afraid im going to miss her first birthday too.  How horrible is that :(

I'm SO excited for my parents to arrive on friday that I can hardly sit/sleep/work/zone out.....

Nara left back to Brazil yesterday, Andrew and I will miss her!

My puppies always know what im feeling, and know just the right way to place their head on my knee (or you know jump on my lap and lick my face) to cheer me up

Have I ever mentioned that I HATE doing laundry?  ( I really do)

The Texas Tech versus Texas A&M game is this weekend, and we are taking my parents!  They have never been to any sort of a college football game before so that should be a wonderful time.

It rained in Lubbock today..........this is a very rare occurrence

I broke my iphone screen......really bad......I really need to get it fixed

I am officially allergic to Lubbock,  I have started taking allergy shots weekly to help me breathe cause I pretty much cant........and I was told today that my allergist doesnt think its working?  What?  Well Im still congested but I can breathe a bit better, but every time I get a shot my arm swells up like a balloon.....he said we will have to change something.........who  knows when or what that will be, (did I mention that I now have to carry around an epi-pen......really im allergic to lubbock)

I made my very first ever homemade cheese cake this weekend for Nara's going away party.  It was WONDERFUL!  (i'll have to do that more often)

I dropped Nara off at the airport yesterday and I still have no word as to if she made it home safely!

I had indian food for lunch today for a co-workers birthday.......Its amazing, you should try it if you get the chance (very rich though......a bit mean to the tummy)

I just had to buy 2 new tires for my car, in a 7 day span I had 2 flat tires.......really?  ugh

I wish I had more time to work on my scrapbook.......it hasnt been updated since february!

Andrew and I are going to be "Danny and Sandy" for halloween! :)

I cant wait to have another pumpkin carving party......that was our very first party in lubbock last year (its gonna have to be a tradition)

Andrew and I used to have a garden,  Its pretty much been torn to shreds! :(  Remember all the wonderful pictures???  well the dogs dug a hole under the garden gate and just had a blast rolling in all the dirt.  We still have a few tomato plants, our zuchinni plant is gone, our butternut squash plant has migrated to the outside of our garden fence into the "dog free zone"  and apparently the LOVE squash.  They eat the little buds before they get big enough to do anything with.  They also have been pulling off all of our cucumbers before those get big enough too.  We have veggie loving dogs.  (at least someone gets to enjoy them)

  

I just got to take a trip to the Fort Worth area of Texas (about 4 hours east of us) and we went to a Rangers Game and to the Fort Worth Stockyards! It was so fun! Here are a few pictures:

In our boots! :)

This picture needs explanation:  Holy moly, so we left the bars in Fort Worth at 1am......and we decided to go get a little snack at a sonics.  We pull up next to this guy.....he is with another horseback cowboy.  We just died laughing and chatted it up with these fellows.  Only in Texas!

I thought these two pictures were cool.  On the property of the place that we were staying there was a deserted old old house in an open pasture.  I had fun taking pictures of it!
