I have been Mrs. Phelps for 4 whole months now! It's seems like it has been longer but then again it doesn't. :) Almost 2 weeks ago Jonathan and I took a trip to Arkansas. We just rented a cabin for the weekend just for fun! We definitely needed a weekend away to relax. I love taking trips especially with Jonathan. As of right now we are planning a Christmas roadtrip to Virginia to see his side of the family. We plan on stopping a couple of times to stay the night and sight see!

Another good reason October has been an awesome month is that one of my bestest friends got engaged last Thursday!!!! I am beyond thrilled and excited for Candace and Mark. Mark is one very lucky guy! I have known Candace since college, we were sorority sisters. After college we both moved to Dallas and become even better friends! Oh I love her!! She was also one of my lovely bridesmaids!! 

So this month has been crazy busy at work and at home...between going out of town, my brother visiting, buying our new car, and everything else! But it has ALL been worth it!!

First off we signed our lives away last Monday on our new car!!! We FINALLY have it!! We were at the dealership for a good three hours...never knew it would take that long. I will honestly say that when we came home without my red honda and with our new car I was sad for a while. It sounds crazy but I had that red car for almost 11 years and have had many good memories with it. But I did get over it! ;) I'll have to find a picture of me with the red honda when I first got for my 18th birthday...it's quite humorous!  But I absolutely LOVE our new car.  It looks a lot bigger in these pictures than it really is!

Getting our new car worked out great because my brother and his new girlfriend came into town this past weekend to visit so we got to drive them around in our new car!! I wish I had a picture of Josh and Heather but I don't. We had fun with them. We grilled out on Saturday and watched the Rangers win...and are now headed to the World Series!!! Soooo excited for them.

On a side note, I have watched more baseball in the last couple of weeks than I have ever watched in my entire life. I actually like it now and I can't wait to go to more Rangers games next season! I also understand it a lot better now...I keep asking Jonathan questions about stuff that is going on....maybe I should call up Coach Toth instead, huh Taren!?!

On Saturday it rained ALL day long so we didn't get to take them sailing so we just hung out at the house then Josh and Heather went out on a nice date that night while Jonathan and I acted like an old married couple and rented a movie...but it was nice!  Then Sunday they headed back home. It was a very nice relaxing weekend with them!! Can't wait for them to come back!!

Oh I almost forgot...while they were in town I baked HOMEMADE cinnamon rolls!! I know you can't believe it but I did!!! They were actually good too!!!! So very proud of myself!!!! Just to prove it I posted a pic...half of them were already eaten before I took the pic! ;) YUMMY!!!! Watch out Martha Stewart!! ha! Just kidding!

I am so excited that it's the fall season! This is by far my favorite season! I love the smells and colors of fall! Fall season also means football, which I do love! It reminds me of growing up and my dad watching the football games every weekend. Unfortunately this year our football teams, Cowboys and Longhorns, are awful! But we still watch them when we can!

Of course we definitely had to watch the UT/OU game. I got too bored to watch the whole game so Candace and I retreated to the backyard for some girl talk and let the boys watch the rest of the game.
