August 2009 - October 11, 2009

Eric and I got in got engaged in Houston in August at an Astros and Brewer's baseball game. We were also in Brazoria to visit Eric's parents, sister, niece and nephew.

Once we got home we were on our way to Weed, New Mexico for Jason and Jeanene's wedding and spent some time in Ruidoso.

Eric had a birthday!!!

Maybe we had a week off before the start of tailgate and Texas Tech Football!!! Tailgate has been a good time as usual but Eric hasn't been able to participate as much due to being in the Reserves. Jeff and Courtney have been able to attend a game with us and we look forward to a few more before the season is over.

Mary Jane had a birthday!!!

September brought an investigator to town to interview Eric and LOTS of others for his potential job with a certain agency!!! This has been an interesting road.

Operation Beach Body began for me on Tuesday, October 6th...
Day 1 Eric ran and walked and ran. I expected to be sore the next day... needless to say I was taken by surprise when I was sore prior to going to bed. I took Advil prior to going to bed.
Day 2 brought on sit ups, pushups, crunches, curls, weights, pullups, etc. After doing a set of crunches I said to Eric, "I think my abs are going to spew blood," to which he replied, "get up we have to do curls."
Day 3 We were being a little lazy after work when I heard on the news that a cold front would be passing through "in a few minutes," this news lit a fire and out the door we went for a run or walk-run. When we returned home I was under the impression that we were finished, all we did was run on day 1. Eric said we had to go back outside to jump rope; I said bad words including the dreaded F word. Outside we went and jumped rope which was followed by squats and some more bad words. I took more Advil before going to bed.
Days 4 & 5 we rested.

This weekend Tech whooped Kansas State in the freezing cold. Today Eric is watching football and chores are getting done as we prepare for another week of work. Operation Beach Body will continue today (Day 6) with running, squats, lunges, and sprints. Today Riley got in on the sprints!!!
