October!!

I am so happy that it is October! I love October!! October means that it is finally fall (even thought it still doesn't feel like fall), and I love love love fall. I can't wait until I can wear my jeans and a jacket and a little scarf to classes!! It actually kind of cooled off this past weekend, but it is hot again. Boo. But yeah, this last weekend was FAMILY WEEKEND!! So, my mama and dad and sisters drove all the way out here to see me:) They got here friday night and we went to dinner, then Bentley and Taylor spent the night at my apartment. Saturday we had breakfast at my place, then went to a bbq and the football game. And Sunday morning they left after they got their car washed by the lacrosse team:) It was so good to see them, I had so much fun, although I can say on behalf of all of us... it was a little stressful. I was sad to say bye to them though. Anyways, I am finally getting my butt back into shape. I started running at the Pima CC track that is right down the street from me, and I have been making my workouts increasingly harder/longer. Last week I started out with a mile and core and that was surprisingly difficult, but just today I ran 2 1/4 miles straight without stopping and did core, arms, and legs and felt really good. It doesn't sound like much, but when you haven't been working out regularly for a while I guess it kind of is. I think by the end of the week I will be onto 3 miles though:) I love the time of day when I run... I go around 6 when the sun is almost all the way down behind the mountains, and they are sillouhetted and the sky is bright orange right over them and then as you look higher it turns into a dark blue, then right above you you can see the moon and stars are starting to show... not to mention its about 10 degrees cooler. Haha. Well, I guess I should go study. I have a quiz on Friday, a paper due Monday, and a history midterm that is on Tuesday AND Thursday. Oh joy!!! XOXO.
