Scott and I have so much to be grateful for it's difficult to believe this is really our life and not a dream! We spent last weekend in Abilene with friends celebrating one of Scott's buddies' marriage. I have never seen him so happy; he and his wife have a great house on a good bit of land and are doing well. On Monday we got a call from Keith (sales rep that sold us our home) - our builder's/"red line" meeting is set for November 17th. After that, construction can finally begin on our house! We are so excited! Friday brought 2 great pieces of news. First, my cousin (who is so close to our family we consider her a sister) got engaged to her boyfriend of almost 3 years! We couldn't be happier for the two of them - they are wonderful together. Then, later in the afternoon my sister Shannon called to let me know that she and her husband are expecting a baby girl! (We knew she was pregnant but just found out it is a girl!) Our little niece will be here in late March/early April.
This week we also found out that the Walk for Lupus Now - Dallas event has set a date: April 24, 2010. For those of you who don't know, our family walked last year and our team raised over $3,000 for Lupus research (and that was with only 1 month). This time, we're getting started early! Our team has already registered - our team is Megan's Pavement Pounders - and you can visit our website. Below is a picture of our team from last year.
