Saturday Night Live....

Well, since we are home on a Saturday night I thought I might catch up on the blog. We've had a good week and are home tonight watching our friends kiddos while they are out. We love them cause they return the favor often. It works out really well. Mike is watching the "Ultimate Fighting Championships" and is a little bummed cause the guy he wanted to watch is hurt. The guy also had a guy who is on staff at watermark in his corner (long story). However, we are still watching it and I don't really see why anyone would ever want to fight this way and it could be interesting when it is the ladies turn! Here are some random things from our week:
1.) I took Ellie and her friend to see the movie "Space Chimps" today at the dollar theater. I am very glad we did not spend more than a dollar on this movie. They loved it and thought it was so funny!
2.) Our classic pink toilet from 1959 broke this week. We now have a new one that our friend Russ installed in 3o minutes! We still have our pink tile, sink, and tub.
3.) It is supposed to be fall in Dallas, but it is still 90 degrees on most days. It is getting very old.
4.) Mike is training for a marathon in December and he is doing so good! He's up to 13 miles and is looking good. I think I am training for the 1/2, but it changes all the time cause of my crazy schedule, kids, etc.....
5.) Anna is talking/singing all the time now and it is very cute. She's becoming not so attached to mommy at home which is very nice.
6.) We cleaned out the garage all day and it looks so much better. I now need to do the house!
7.) Our good friend Sean came down for the weekend. He was Mike's roommate from college. We had a great time seeing him.
8.) We have been here for one year now and feel so blessed. We love our church and all that God is doing it here. It really is amazing to be a part of it all.
9.) Can you believe the election is in one month. A lot is about to change no matter who wins. I think we have lots of surprises still in this last month.
10.) I am reading the newest Karen Kingsbury book and it is so good. I'm sad I'm almost through with it.

I didn't even know the new Karen Kingsbury book was out! Do you own it or did you get it at the library? Can I borrow it when you are done?
