It's about time

We've been looking into taking a nice vacation this fall since we recently found out we will not be able to attend our friend's destination wedding (Hawaii) in January due to the start date of nursing school. It's also been over 2 years since our last real vacation (our honeymoon), so it is about time. The good news is that we decided on a place at last! This month we will be heading to St. John, USVI for a little fishing, snorkeling, and relaxation...There are a couple pictures of where we'll be staying, etc below, but we will of course post a couple more when we return.

The last couple of weeks have kept us super busy with school, work, and family. This is the last week of Katie's night class, then she's done with prerequisites for nursing school! Surprisingly, she was asked to stay at her job through the fall, despite her applying. We decided to accept this proposal to an extent - she will stay until aroung Thanksgiving. Chris has been traveling less this past month, which could not have come at a better time with the night classes (Dixie is very relieved).

This past weekend we made our tour of Texas: Houston, College Station, & Waco. We were able to visit Chris' family (especially Grandad who is in the hospital) and Katie's family, all in three days. While we were in Houston, Chris was able to go fishing for the first time in months and we both attended a Houston Texans training camp (picture below). We are both a bit exhausted this week, but it was well worth it!
