I love fall. Houston fall is different from Arkansas fall, but I still love it. Fall to me represents the year starting to come to an end, leaves changing colors (well.. kinda..) and COOLER TEMPERATURES. This summer was well.. miserable. I have lived in Houston pretty much my whole life (minus my year old stint as an Arkansas resident) and I think this past summer was the hottest I have lived through. It's amazing how even a 5 degree temperature difference can cause people's facebook status to change from "it's so hot" to "score, it's only 90 degrees." My favorite part of fall is waking up early, going out on my balcony and drinking coffee in a long sleeved shirt. I'm hoping we will have more consistent fall temperatures in a few weeks. Another thing I love about fall is FOOTBALL TIME! I am the type of fan, that when I watch a game on tv I get quite loud. My friends get embarrassed, but oh well : )

I am so freaking excited about my trip to Florida. I am taking a "vacation" for a few days, road trip style. I am driving to Florida for a friends wedding. My parents are worried because I am making the trip alone, but it is basically the same distance then when I drive to Arkansas from Houston. My room has a view of the ocean, and my goal is to just to relax and have fun. It will be my last hoorah before the really cold weather comes. I say really cold weather, more like 60's for the highs, and 40's for the lows. 

I am also way excited that my mom is coming to Houston to do a walk/run for pancreatic cancer research in December. She is the type of person that is humble and was not excited that I had put a team together in her name, but she is now starting to get excited. She deserves to relax and be catered to. My mom has been so busy focusing on my dad, and making sure he is doing ok, but she forgets that she too was facing the fight of her life in 1996. People don't live from pancreatic cancer, and she did. She still doesn't like to talk about it because of the amount of people that die from it. She keeps bringing up the fact that her form was very rare, and she didn't have to do chemo and radiation. She tends to downplay everything that happened to her. I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She fought, and she won. She has been cancer free for 15 years, survived two major surgeries and many other obstacles where she almost didn't make it, but she did. So on December 3, we are going to celebrate her, and celebrate the fact that she beat this awful disease. 

That is all, it is REALLY time for me for me to take \my biology test (gotta love procrastination). Oh yeah and GO TEXANS!!

Until next time..
