Hodge Podge

Hello. I am sorry it has taken so long to post! Well, the Fry's are doing well. We haven't done much lately. Last weekend we went and got our pictures taken. Back in February I won a free portrait setting at an IABC mixer. I know what you are thinking... you won that in February... well just a month before that you had all the pictures you could ever want taken (wedding.) I know, but when I won I was just so excited to win I didn't really think about it. So we are going to use the pictures for our first family Christmas card! I am pretty excited.

Right now I am waiting on Aaron to get home from work so we can leave town. We are going to Ballinger/Abilene this weekend. One of Aaron's friends from high school is getting married. He came to our wedding so we definitely need to go to his. It is going to be weird because he is getting married at the same place Aaron and I got married. I haven't been back there since our wedding day. It will be exciting to be there, and on this side of the wedding! This week has been a wedding filled kind! Not only are we going back to the Chapel, I also received my heir loomed dress! That was kinda hard. This is about the time that I actually bought my dress! Part of me wanted to just put it on again and act like I had just bought it instead of but it in an air-tight box with only a little window for me to see it. :( I can't believe that it has been a year since I was going around like a crazy lady, driving back and forth from Houston to Lubbock, or Houston to Abilene or Houston to Ballinger-- literally EVERY WEEKEND! Man, time flies.

As most of you know... October started this week. Sometimes it doesn't feel like Fall here. It's still pretty hot some days. It made me really really miss Lubbock. I wouldn't mind someday if we could move back. Not only did it make me miss Lubbock, but it made me miss my sister. This time last year she and I were picking out pumpkins. I know she probably thought she got on my nerves while she was here, or Aaron's nerves, but she doesn't realize how much I miss her everyday. It makes me sad. There are alot of times that I need her. I am pretty sure I will need her for the rest of our lives-- that's the special thing about sisters.

I watched the VP debate last night. I definitely thought it was more interesting than the first presidential debate. Hopefully the next one will be better. I really don't care what people say, I like Sarah Palin. Other than the fact I think she kicks butt and takes names-- I do think she would be ready to lead if something were to happen to McCain. Some people don't think so--that's fine, but I really don't think people should vote based on a VP. I realize that there have been some presidents who weren't able to finish their term, but in all honesty that number isn't the majority. So the odds are in her favor that she wouldn't have to become the next president. If that is the best reason you have for not voting for McCain... you should study harder. For those of you who know me, you should know that you are NOT going to change my mind. I'm very capable of making my own decisions based on what I believe and know to be true. I believe that Obama is really good at telling people exactly what they want to hear. That good PR speaking and being motivational doesn't run a country. *Don't worry, I still like you if you like Obama. Our political differences don't define who we are! Thank the Lord for that! :)

Anyway enough about that. I am off to try and paint my nails before Aaron gets here. I'm excited I get to drive! I like to drive on long road trips. I think I realized my love for that when I drove 11 hours to Arkansas for camp.

Hope you have a great weekend! :)
