But, here it goes!
LSU FANS?
As you can probably imagine, football season in Texas is pretty insane -- (my God, high school football coaches earn more than teachers for coaching ONLY!) Nonetheless, we have been picked up by a Louisiana State crowd to go to their watch parties each Saturday. It's a little nuts -- and like nothing I've ever experienced before -- but I'm having a blast! Did I just say I'm having fun watching football???Jr. League of Plano
I've also joined the Jr. League of Plano and have been busy getting to know this amazing group of women! My provisional class has 200 ppl and my group has about 12, (1,000 in the entire league). Right now my project group is working on a Fall Festival for underprivileged kids. It's a lot of work but I know it will be soooo rewarding! I'll keep y'all posted on this new area of my life....
Training update
I'm continuing to jog with my running group with our goal of running the Dallas half marathon in November -- however, a few of us have taken on another challenge! We're also training for the Plano Triathlon October 19th. Dual training schedules has been a little hectic (to say the least!) and I'm doing my best to stay on top of it all without burning out. But overall, it's been a great experience so far and I've met great athletes along the way. Plus, my motivation level is higher now that I'm a trainer, myself!
Milo
As you can imagine we are having more and more fun with our little puppy each day! Unfortunately, he had a rough vet appointment on Friday -- 3 shots! He squealed a little, but was tough for the most part. I can't imagine having kids and taking them to the doctor for shots...it's so sad! But Milo's back to his bubbly self and always makes us laugh -- even on our worst days. He's such a joy to have around!
Jobs
Now for the boring stuff... Paul is still logging pretty long hours but enjoying the cases he's working on and doing more and more at the firm. I'm working less "floor staff hours" at the Y with the hope that I'll be taking on clients REAL soon. I'm anxious to get down to business! But I need to understand it takes time. So, I'm trying to be patient right now, (trying...)
What else...
I guess that's about all that's new with us? My parents are coming this weekend so I'm excited to show them where we call home! Oh, and I can't wait to have them taste some REAL mexican food , too! Hotel de la Simon is always taking reservations!
