Birthdays Galore to Celebrate

The Reels and Dobsons finally got all together to celebrate our fall birthdays...Annie, Dennis, and Sarah!! On top of the birthdays we had just learned the great news about Dennis' promotion!

We enjoyed a fun dinner at Georges, complete with Big O's! To top off the evening we got to watch the Aggies knock off No. 8 OU! WHOOP!

Handsome 'lil Devil!

Happy Birthday to our favorite Halloween baby, Cooper!

Minneapolis

Minneapolis = In October = Freezing = Not for me!

The last week of October, I went up to MN for a conference...the week consisted of 30 degree temperatures, with rain, snow flurries and 50 mph winds! Now for a girl in Parks and Rec, who rarely has to dress up...walking around, outside in dress clothes and heels wasn't the best!

Luckily, they have these great skyways from building to building, so once we started to master those, it made things much easier!

The conference was great! I love to see 7000 fellow parks and recreation employees all together! I met a lot of new people, many from other areas of Texas, and some from other parts of the country.

Luckily, we went when we did, as they got 12 inches of snow this weekend!

PS - Sorry for the lack of photos, like I said, the weather wasn't exactly ideal for sightseeing!

Good 'ol Texas Wedding

In October, we got the whole gang back together to celebrate the marriage of Marty and Ben! It was a gorgeous wedding outside of Austin at the Salt Lick, full of dancing, BBQ, drinks and laughs with great friends!

The after party moved to one of the newlyweds favorite little dives!

It'd been to long since we'd all been together...hopefully we can gather the troops again before another couple of years pass!
