Wow, it's been a while since I've been on. I think rather than "catch up," I'll just start from here. We've had a huge weather change over the weekend. Temperatures have dropped 20-30 degrees and its raining and windy. All of a sudden it feels like fall. I love fall. I love the cooler weather, the football, the color. I start coaching again, we have cross country, I have tennis. I like getting back to a schedule of sorts in our household. Sometimes the first few weeks are a little rough, but I keep reminding myself that things will settle into a routine here pretty quickly.

This past weekend MC and I went to Memphis for a cross country meet. It was a twilight meet in the evening. I enjoy (working hard not to overuse the word love) watching the kids run. They are so intent, and working so hard. Watching them race to try and pass just one more runner before the finish line, or to make it through before the clock turns over to another round number. This year I've been taking pictures of the team running. I've decided cross country must be one of the most painful sports out there, you would not believe the looks on the faces of the runners. A few of them have started trying to smile, just because they know I'm taking pictures. During the girls race we had a beautiful sky, and it was fun to watch everyone run under the lights and into the stadium at the end. It was just our second race of the season, and it looks like it should be a good one. Here's to fall and all the fun ahead.
