We had our big back-to-school event and welcomed a large group of new faculty to help us kick off the new year. It was a great day and have over 2,000 new students this fall semester. It's busy but so much fun. Our Welcome Week theme was "Peace Love Cougars" and we had some great tshirts to help celebrate the new year...
Steve has also been busy on the yard, making some beautiful changes. He removed the old bushes that were along the south edge of the pool and moved some other plants. As soon as the pansies are available, we'll buy some to add some pretty color to the beds. It all looks soooo much better. He's definitely got an "eye" for making things look good and a definite "green" thumb. My plants have never looked more lush and beautiful.
We also celebrated Jen's and Christen's birthdays over the last couple of weeks. Great times with our family. We went to a fun restaurant in downtown McKinney called Sauce for Jen's b-day. Almost everyone in the family was there and we had a wonderful time catching up and introducing Steve to everyone. One of the fun highlights of Christen's b-day party at Jeri and Chris' house is when Mike offered Christen $200 to cannonball into the pool with all her clothes on. The picture below is of the family that gathered around after she jumped in. They came out to see what all the commotion was about. It was such a fun moment in time and a great memory for all of us who were there and egging Christen on. Awesome evening. :)
On a little different note, it was six years ago today that my precious mom passed away. She's in my heart forever... Below is a picture of Mom and Dad... one of dad's favorite pictures of them together on a really good and happy day.
