Yep, I am updating! (don't faint) This is not a test.. this is the real thing! (and it is going to be a long one!)
I am so excited that Fall is finally here! It is possibly one of my favorite seasons! I love the weather getting cooler (only a few degrees here in the armpit, but every little bit helps!), the days getting shorter and all the fun Fall activities!
We have been busy with Fall soccer league! This year we are the "White Team". Hannah decided she wanted to play this year too and she is surprisingly a pretty strong player! Hailey remains one of the strongest players on the team and LOVES to be goalie! Here they are at play:
Getting pictures thus far has been a challenge since I was forced to play coach for the first 3 games! (yes, that was comical!). Aaron has now taken over. I think we are 2-3, but since nobody is really "keeping score" it doesn't really matter, right?
Aaron is ALMOST done with school! - He only has a one month class left and he will be an official Apache pilot! I honestly NEVER thought we would be finished! - Which brings us to our orders! Aaron has orders to go to Fort Campbell which is on the TN/KY border. Everyone says this is an excellent move so we are getting excited about leaving the armpit, but there are a lot of decisions that we must weigh. The girls school, my job, the house, etc, etc.. so we don't have an official plan at the moment, but we are working on one!
With the possibility of selling or renting our humble abode here we finally bit the bullet and decided that we could not cosmetically fix the second bathroom, so we (or Aaron and his friend Wendell) ripped it out!
Do you want to come over for a shower?
They honestly do NOT make houses like they used to! - There is/was about 2 inches of plaster on the walls and floor underneath the tile! The guys took over 2000lbs of stuff to the dump! - and the tub.. it was cast iron.. that sucker didn't want to MOVE! - but it is all out now and the bathroom is down to the studs.. and where is Aaron? - taking a break.. LOL!
We are on Fall Break from school this week which means we are laying low! I have had the opportunity to do a bit of scrapping and the girls are busy making Halloween crafts!
On the scrappy front:
AllyScraps Next Top Scrapbooker contest continues at AllyScraps!! It is a month long contest inspired by the hit TV reality show "America's Next Top Model". We have had lots of fashion inspired challenges and games! My challenge is up this week: Challenge #5 - Color Trends.. . you should go give it a try! (actually, it isn't too late to do all of the challenges, as they don't expire until October 28th!). There will be one lucky winner of ANTS and one lucky participant may be asked to be a member of our Design Team!
The November kit at Simply Obsessed has been posted! It is a perfect combination of scrappy goodness to use with your Fall photos!

Also, as many of you know, this is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Simply Obsessed is having a Breast Cancer Awareness mini crop this weekend! It will begin on Friday and last through Sunday! Come join us for fun challenges inspired by this important woman's issue!
Well, that is all for now!
Will post again (sometime!) LOL!
