To remember the good times

These pictures are from the end of the summer right before Aaron started working and coming home late night after night. We had heard about this famous water slide the Spitzers made but we had no idea how much fun it was going to be. Nor could we have predicted how much our little puppy was going to love it. She slid down again and again and then ran back up to do it all over again. She loved sliding down with us, it was too funny, she could have gone all night. Luckily Ambyr was there to snap some pictures for us.
Aaron and I recently had a little getaway to Brownwood, Texas. Yes, that's right, Brownwood, the hunting capital of Texas. Aaron had to go there for a night for work and so I went with him and Deer hunting season began the next day so the town was hopping. Its amazing to me how real all the small town stereotypes can be sometimes. All they could talk about was the high school football game and deer hunting, and everyone wore jeans and flannels to work. I was glad I got to go with him though.

And our exciting news is...Aaron's brother Adam and his family are moving to Dallas!! He's doing his second-year law internship with a firm in Dallas, which I guess is like the internship that will basically be the one you are going to work for. We couldn't be happier to have them closer. Aaron kept saying, "we'll be there for Abby's first day of school and when Drew learns to swim, etc. etc." We're in recruiting mode, trying to get as much family around us as possible. :)

We're getting really excited too. I feel so grateful that my children are going to be able to have such a loving, fantastic aunt and uncle so close. The next year and a half can't go fast enough. :)

I am so jealous of these people that work it to move to TX. Your puppy is soooo stinking cute! It seriously makes me want one so bad.

How's your new job going??
