It's been about two weeks or so since we last wrote... sorry. It's not like anything really MAJOR has been going on, we just lose track of time!!
Cathy is finally tracked out! She was really nervous about tracking out of her classroom for the first time. She's got some really amazing parents though, and all she had to do was ask for some help and they came! She worked late on Wednesday and Thursday and when she came home Thursday night, her room was done! She had to take everything off the walls... and then clean the room for Katie (she's tracking in when Cathy tracks out).
On Friday the 19th (Cathy's last day), we went to Chili's for dinner and then the haunted forest with Katie and her boyfriend Judson, and then Lisa. Katie and Lisa work with Cathy and we're really glad that she has them as friends. There's nothing worse than working somewhere new and not knowing anyone. Fortunately, the two of them have very similar personalities to Cathy and the three of them get along so well.
Anyway, we went to the Silent Forest at Walnut Creek (place we saw Kenny Chesney in August) on Friday night. It was fun... rather expensive ($15 each) and they didn't take anything but cash. We laughed our way through the forest part (not very scary) and then we were led into two different haunted houses. The scariest part was at the end... there was a guy hiding in the port-o-potties!!! He scared Lisa to death!!
We debated doing something more, but the longer we stood there and talked, the later it became. We ended up just all going home. It was fun though! It was the first haunted house that we've been through together! Usually Steve hates them, but he was a big sport this year and decided that it could be fun.
Saturday we didn't do anything but sit around the house and do nothing but relax. We had plans for Saturday night... we met over at Judson's place, and then he and Katie drove us to Lisa's place for a party. Her party was fun. We played flip-cup... it was Walker vs. Walker... and of course Cathy won (wink). Neither of us drank a whole lot, but we had fun. It made us both realize how old we are... we'd rather stay home and chill out watching tv than go out!!
Hopefully we'll be able to start a family soon... and that'll help move us to that next part of our lives. We're ready to expand our family and have some kids. Our neighbors all have kids and the one neighbor, Gary, always laughs and tells us that we got it right by not having kids... he always says this when his boys are crying or fighting. It's funny.
Cathy is going home to Michigan on Thursday. It'll be the first time that she's seen her parents since June... she's super excited to see them! It'll also be the first time that Steve will be home without Cathy. He's been away on business and been without her, but he's never been the one home without her... it's always been her home without him! We're going to miss each other a whole bunch.
While Cathy is home she plans on meeting some friends for dinner and catching up and then she is going to spend the rest of the time with her parents. She is going to the cider mill with her mom and then for sure going to Mongolian BBQ with her parents. She'll be home from Thursday to Tuesday. It's supposed to be really cool here while she's gone (in the 60s).
Okay... we'll write again soon!
