In the spirit of fall, our church group held a back-to-school party Sunday night. Seeing as close to none of us are still in school, it was more of a back-to-football season party. Each person had to sport their team's colors, so you will see in our pictures that we were in the minority vs. Baylor. We grilled some burgers, watched the Cowboys game, and spent quality time with friends. To donate to the cause, Katie baked over 3 dozen brownie/blondie/cake/cookie bars all day Saturday. The German chocolate cake "brownies" are tried and true, but although the marshmallow chocolate chip "blondies" were pretty good, I don't think they are a keeper. Sometimes our kitchen feels like a test lab - Chris sampling for quality control and Katie making the necessary adjustments.
Chris' brother Brian came to visit this weekend also, so he helped Chris taste test a bit. He was in town to watch a couple soccer games Friday, but spent Saturday with us watching football and doing a bit of shopping. We always love to have friends and family visit. Hopefully one day soon we will have a guest bedroom or at least a little more square footage to accomodate.
Other than that, we are still waiting...waiting on letters, emails, any sort of information that would help us figure out what is in store for our next year and beyond...
Hi Katie and Chris, what a great idea for a party. Glad to see you gave support to both TAMU and LSU. I know you both are anxiously awaiting email to see what the steer will be for you. You both are very hard workers and good things come to those who have these wonderful attributes. Hang in there, it's all good. See you. Give a hello to Dixie for me.
