Hodge and His Family: A Fun Fall Weekend!

This weekend was a fun fall weekend. Last weekend was a wash because we stayed home and did not leave the house so Hodge could get better. I did not leave the house for almost a week. So it was nice to have a busy week and weekend! Saturday morning we took family photos with Matt's family. After that I went to the Home for the Holidays event. This is a really neat event for women that Crestview Baptist Church puts together every year. I had never been before but I am so happy that I went. (Thanks Kim S. for inviting me to sit at your table for the luncheon!) There were at least 1,000 women at this event! After hearing the great speakers and singers I went home and got Hodge ready for a kids Halloween party! Our friend Susan had a party for her grandkids and some friends. It was such a cute party for kids. Hodge had a great time and he took a long nap after the party.

Sunday we went to church and after that we just relaxed and stayed home. My friend, Becky and her youngest daughter were in town visiting her family. She came over Sunday afternoon. Becky grew up in Odessa but she lives in Katy, Texas now with her husband Brook and their three cute kids, Brady, Brooklyn, and Bella. Becky was my neighbor in the Women's High Rise at Angelo State University. She was one the first people I met in college. It was very ironic that Becky would be in town visiting me that Sunday because the Women's High Rise was imploded that morning. I wished I could have gone down to San Angelo to watch the dorm be imploded. We have such good memories from our days in the high rise. We had so much fun in our little dorm rooms! Becky and I spent many hours laughing, getting ready to go out and go dancing, and we did very little studying in that dorm. It was a 24 hour party to us! What fun we had!!! I think every young adult should experience dorm living at least one year in college. Becky and I definitely enjoyed the experience and we knew we were having the time of our lives. We would always say to one another how lucky we were to have such care free lives. Our everyday routine would go something like this...............Wake up, eat breakfast, go to class, take a nap, go shopping, study a little, I would have cheer practice, Becky taught dance classes, then we would meet back up at the High Rise and get ready to go out and then go to bed after our fun night out and then we would do it all over again the next day.

Thanks Becky for taking time out of your busy weekend to come visit and thanks for being such a fun and good friend in college!
