Notes:At the end of August, Patrick and I went on a 7 day cruise to Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island, and Cozumel...a do-over honeymoon if you will. It was very much needed. Kadence stayed with Nana, Papa and Uncle Peyton while we were gone, so we all had a good time. Seeing as how I'm in update mode, I won't be going into too much detail...perhaps at some point I will...just not now.
In Jamaica we partied on the beach and got REALLY sunburned (despite multiple re-applications of sunscreen) before enjoyed the beautiful weather that rolled in later. :)
We also did some snorkeling, and ended the day with some shopping before we got back on the ship.
While we were in Grand Cayman we went to Hell...did you know that's where it was? :)
We also visited the Turtle Farm...which is where Patrick found Spongebob. :)
We also got go swim and hold Stingrays...they say kissing one brings you 7 years good luck...it really just reminded me why I don't eat sushi. haha
In Cozumel we had some real Mexican food, did some more snorkeling, went shopping...and MOST importantly, avoided mopeds and hospitals. :)
The cruise came in the middle of buying a house. We didn't plan it that way. We'd booked the cruise months before, and it just happened that way. On Friday, September 17th we signed all the paperwork, and became homeowners of a beautiful 2 story, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home. It has a rear-entry garage, which was a huge plus for me. :)
On Saturday, September 18th Candice, Stephanie, Ben, myself and Patrick ran The Jailbreak (a 3.5 mile obstacle course/mud run raising money for Sower of Seeds Ministries to drill fresh water wells in India.) I managed to mess up my hip and my foot pretty badly sliding into the river...and ended up at Care Now that night to have my foot X-rayed to make sure it wasn't broken...and thankfully, it was just badly stretched/sprained, and some things were out of place.

Then the very long unpacking process commenced...it's still technically in progress. :) Kadence had a blast "swimming" in all of the packing paper.
On October 7th I had to call 911 for the first time in my life. Around midnight, a truck driving down our street clipped a semi used for loading cars that was parked on our street (which shouldn't have been)...thing is, the semi's loading ramp was down, and as a result the truck went up on the ramp and launched off...and rolled multiple times before ending up on the other end of the street. One of the tires the flew off hit a house at the end of the street, ripped off siding, and broke through one of the front windows. No one in the house was hurt. Both people in the truck were ok...eventually. The passenger was air-lifted out, and the driver had a concussion...he disappeared from the scene and was found later the next day and taken to the hospital as well.
On October 8th we left to make a weekend trip to Abilene for my best friends wedding. Hey, there's a movie with that title. :) Ruth and Jake's anniversary is 10-10-10...how cool is that? Kadence was the flower girl...and did a wonderful job, until she got to the front, and started crying because her petals were all gone. She calmed down fairly quickly and was fine...until the prayer that began the actual ceremony when she sat down, and then got her foot stuck in her basket and started crying again. She went to go sit with Grandma Patsy and Aunt Martha after that.
Kadence was obsessed with Ruth and kept referring to her as "Princess." It was pretty cute...so were they don't you think? :)
Thus ends Part 1...to be continued. :)
