last game of baseball season: cubs vs. astros at minute maid park. both teams seemed pretty content with the fact that their frustrating seasons were coming to a close. i played around with the "hipstimatic" app on my phone as i took some ballpark shots...i pass a lot of time at baseball games with taking pictures :)

daniel tosh is one of the funniest comedians around. his show tosh.0 is great. we were lucky enough to see his show in person and have an awesome friend like katy to go with (and pay for the tickets).

buying a new car proved even more beneficial when the battery in the jeep decided to die on us at pei wei. thankfully, we have wonderful family friends like the morrows who are willing to give us a ride home even though the walk was not quite impossible. we were relieved to still have a mode of transportation even with the jeep temporarily out of commission.

*no picture of the dead jeep unfortunately.

i think i am even more proud of my cheerleaders when they are performing in front of more than just their small freshmen football game crowds. they performed a cheer with the jv squad at our pep rally in front of a large crowd of students, teachers, and coaches. way to go, girls!

i made homemade biscuits for the first time. technically, they were not completely homemade because i did use bisquick mix, but it was the first time i had ever made biscuits not out of a can. they were a little thin but still tasty! plus, the only cutters i have are fall-shaped so we ate pumpkin, acorn, and leaf-shaped biscuits.

even though the quality is terrible, this picture still gives some idea toward the beautiful sunrises i get to see everyday on the way to work. this is really the only positive aspect of waking up and driving to work as early as i have to so i try to enjoy it the best i can.
