The Big Old Town of Huntsville

Last Thursday I headed out to Huntsville to visit my mom and dad. My mom is living in Wyoming now, but she still has a house in Huntsville. So she came in for the holiday weekend. My dad has, of course, always lived in big old Huntsville. Anywho, I spent the past 2 1/2 days visiting the family. While it was a quick trip, it was both restful and fun. Mom has a beautiful house on the lake, so it is always so peaceful. Dad and Susie just bought a new house early this year, so I got to see it for the first time. It is really nice as well. They have bought beautiful new furniture and lots of really cool wall hangings. The house is full of silk flowers as Susie prepares for her and dad's wedding later this month. They are getting married at the lodge in the Huntsville state park. We went out to see the wedding location...very nice. It overlooks the lake, so it should be really pretty. She is using big sprays of fall colors (reds, oranges, yellows, purples, greens, browns, etc) all around the patio and inside the lodge as decorations. Each of the bridesmaids has a different colored fall dress...I get to be chocolate brown!! So fun!! I took my camera to Huntsville, but i didn't take any pictures. Oh well!! 

On another note, school starts tomorrow, so I am getting prepared for that. I have Monday and Tuesday classes so I will head to Austin on Monday mornings, stay the night there and then come home on Tuesday evening. Still haven't figured out where I am staying yet...so if you have any Austin connections let me know. Anywho, tomorrow I will be meeting my new student teachers for the first time...I have 17 this semester!! That is a lot for one person, but I am really excited. So say a few prayers for me!!
