haircuts and wildfires

If you haven't seen us in a week, you may not know that both Curtis and I got our hair cut. Way off.
Ta-da!

(Cut-credit goes to the talented Mel Florey.) I meant to update about that sooner, but we've had a busy weekend :)

Friday was my dad's 60th birthday, so Curtis and I made the drive down to Austin after work. We also got the pleasure of seeing my friend, Meg Steiner, rock out in a production of Hair. I loved watching Meg up on stage again. The whole family had a good night out, and we got to quietly celebrate my dad's birthday over "24 karat" cupcakes from Hey Cupcake after the show.
Curtis had to work a wedding back in the Fort on Saturday, so we capped the short trip off that morning.

The day after we left, my parents' neighborhood (Steiner Ranch) was one of the Central Texas areas that caught on fire. They were evacuated yesterday and are still unable to return as of this evening, but luckily their house is still untouched. Praise the Lord for watching over them! --If you haven't heard about the wildfires here in Texas, please be praying about them! Austin, especially, has been effected this weekend... please pray for the families, homes that have been lost or are in danger of being lost, Bastrop farms/ranches, those fighting the fires, and for RAIN! Weather forecasters haven't predicted any in the next week, but God can bring relief if we ask him.


At some point this weekend Curtis and I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Apollo 18 --both really well done movies. We recommend seeing them.

...So, have I to mention the gorgeous weather yesterday morning. Autumn is our favorite season, so when the thermometer read in the 60s, Curtis and I decided to celebrate. We spent a fantastically tiring day together and look forward to an entire week of cool temps!

Until next time,
Peace :)
