So school is going good. I am on track to graduate on December 18. I will be sending out e-invites instead of card ones, just in case my grades don't go through. I am making a high A right now in Accounting but you never know what can happen. So probably a couple weeks before the graduation, I will send out the e-invite :) I am sooooo ready to graduate.
A couple of weeks ago, Vincent and I went on a cruse to celebrate our 4 years of marriage. It was a blast! It was just super nice to be without kids for a week- we didn't know what to do with ourselves! :) We went to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico. We actually were at sea the same time as Hurricane Rina. It made our land days switched so that we could avoid the storm. It also made me incredibly sea sick. I was up in the middle of the night for a few hours puking and unable to sleep. It was pretty awful. But other than that, we had a great time. It was amazing how nice it felt to just do nothing.
We got back from our cruise just in time for Halloween. Since we were getting back that day, I hadn't really planned on taking the kids trick-or-treating but at the last minute my brother David and sis-in-law, Becky asked if we wanted to go to a trunk-or-treating at a church near them with my nephew Gideon. So I went through the attic and grabbed Tristan's old costumes. Tristan was a monkey again (the costume lasted all of 30 seconds last year) and Caleb was a snowman. It was adorable. I will post pictures.
We also had family portraits done. The first time was in downtown Dallas in the Arts District. To say Tristan was terrible is an understatement. Tristan was possessed by a demon. So we took a lot of pictures with just the kids, just us, or us and Caleb as Tristan just started refusing to stand still. Our photographer- the very best!- Heather allowed us to do it again- which was awesome and definitely needed! So we waited until after our cruise and this time we did it at the Mandalay Canal in Las Colinas. Those pictures were all family portraits and those turned out amazing too! Seriously both sets of portraits turned out great and we got a great assortment of family and "action" photos! Great job, Heather! Seriously, if you live in the DFW area and need pictures done, I would recommend Heather. She is a great price and she takes tons and tons of pictures and actually gives you back a majority (takes out the crappy ones- eyes closed, weird face, etc). I remember when Vincent and I got our engagement pictures done and the lady took like 500 pictures of us and all we got back was 12 pictures. It was ridiculous. But not Heather. She's great! E-mail me and I can give you her contact information, if you want it. I will post the pictures from the portraits at the end of this blog as well.
Also we found a super cheap contractor and have decided to stain the concrete on our floors instead of wood flooring. It's cheaper and looks just as classy. I researched it because I had to convince Vincent it wasn't trashy. Here is a link to a woman and her husband that did it themselves but it had some great before and after photos. It really does look great. I'll have you believing, if you're judging me too :)

Nothing much else is going on except the chaos that is our life. I feel like I'm constantly going and these kids aren't even involved in any activities yet! Geez.....I can't wait to graduate and life will slow down at least a little bit!
