Life as We Know it

October is almost over.... keyword is almost. I still have a much anticipated girls weekend coming up to visit my sista pants, (Matt), and my Mom in NYC!!!!

We have been running crazy this fall, but are excited about the things to come! 

David has less than 25 days until he is DONE with his LAST fall quarter! PRAISE THE LORD!!! We are soooooo close, I can taste it. Is it normal for the wife of the husband to get senioritis worse than the actual student? Just saying. I think if I was completely honest I have had a case of senioritis from day one. Again, just saying.

Even though David spends so much time studying, we have been able to get out and enjoy ourselves a little bit this month.  One of our favorite recent weekend events was attending the Tech vs Aggie game! I got tickets for free since Louisiana Tech was hosting a sock drive for the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission, so we collected socks as people entered the gate and then at kick off, we got to enjoy the game. It was a win/win, if I do say so myself. Per ESPN - it was one of the best games of the year! That's right and we were there! :) I think one of the BEST parts of the day was one of our previous youth from our youth group in Dallas came to see us! She stayed for the game and we had such a wonderful time. We are so proud of our Klove and know that God has mighty plans for your life!

Here are some pictures from the fun evening.





Needless to say, we had a great time!

This past weekend my Mom came to visit. Honestly it was more of a distraction tactic for me since David really needed me to leave so he could... you guessed it: STUDY! :P It will pay off eventually. We only have 10 more months people!!!! I digress. So, Mom came in on Saturday morning, and we picked up Aunt Char and headed to Shreveport. I had a perfect day. We had lunch a this wonderful place called Good Eats. Then we headed to Hobby Lobby, and Talbots. Both places were a complete success. All shopped out, we headed home and stopped in Minden to pick up Johnny's pizza. We dropped off our treasures, picked up David and headed over to Aunt Char's house for dinner and a non-competitive (please fully note the sarcasm) game of Rummikub. Think scrabble, but instead of words - NUMBERS. Oh, yes. I love it. We played two rounds and I won the first one (duh), and David just barely beat me in the second round. ;) 

On Sunday morning we got up early and went for the first time since our wedding (yes, 6 years ago) and had pictures done for our Christmas cards this year!!!! I feel so... domestic. I know, weird, but still. I feel like we fit in that awkward category of not having children so they aren't exactly 'family' pictures, but we will be married 6 years and so they aren't exactly 'engagement' pictures either.... My friend Kelly Powell from the SB Junior League is an incredible photographer and so we just had to use her! Here is a sneak peak of this glamorous couple you can expect to have hanging on your fridge this Christmas season! Yes, you should be THAT excited!  

Eeeeeek!!! So exciting. They are going to be just fabulous cards, I guarantee it. 

Naturally, after we finished our early morning photo shoot (we were done before 9am), we went to one of our favorite places to have breakfast, Another Broken Egg. If you know nothing else about this place, you should know when you ask for a glass of chocolate milk, this is what you get: 
With that, you can just assume that everything else will be just as amazing. And. It. Is. :) If you ever come to visit, we will take you there. Promise.

To end our weekend we headed to church and then went home and got ready for the week. For me this included scrap-booking and David well, hello, studying! However, I am almost done with my scrapbook I started the summer of 2005. Please don't judge me. I have been busy. :) Anyway, the book will go through the summer of 2009. I can't wait to be done and have it available for viewing!

My goal is to be done with this scrapbook prior to Christmas this year, and then I will begin a scrapbook about our "Louisiana Experience". That little gem will be ready and on display at David's graduation party. Appropriate, don't you think?

Hope you are well.

Hugs,

Anna June
