After a lot of thought and discussion, Matt has decided to leave public accounting and has accepted a great opportunity at Key Energy Services. He starts next Wednesday. To say the least, Matt has been very busy wrapping up things at EY before his last day on Tuesday.
I was in Austin on Thursday for the Texas Conference for Women and arrived back in Houston in time to stop by the happy hour. It was a lot of fun! All of Matt’s colleagues were so excited to see me and talk about Reese. It was obvious how happy they are for us because they all came up to me and reached for the belly. It was great to catch up and hang out. We have been surrounded by this great group of people for many years now and we'll miss them! Matt and I will definitely keep in touch!
Matt and I were both exhausted Friday night as the week finally caught up with us. We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Rajun Cajun. I really enjoyed the meal, so we’ll have to go with Nolan, Wendy and Karsyn soon (they love that place). We went home and went to bed as I had to get up at 5:00 a.m. to walk in the Race for the Cure.
Mom and I were out the door on Saturday morning at 6:00 a.m. as we were scheduled to meet the Hitachi Consulting and Team Millenbah folks downtown for pictures before the race. We did grab a Starbucks on the way!
Here’s a picture of some of our team (Mom, Debbie, Lynn, Me):

After lots of team photos we headed to the starting line to attend the opening ceremonies. Unfortunately it started pouring down rain! A few of us decided the rain was too much to battle and we headed home. Seeing as it was about 8:30 a.m., I was getting hungry, so Mom and I went to breakfast at Buffalo Grille. We were not the only ones from the race who left due to the rain; the line was out the door with race participants. Matt met us there and we enjoyed a great breakfast as usual.
After breakfast, Matt and I packed our bags and hit the road for Austin. Stacy’s wedding was Saturday evening at Reunion Ranch in Georgetown. The wedding was beautiful and gave us a chance to reunite with our college friends. Many of us worked for Bill Holubec at The Financial Services Center (where Matt and I met).
Here’s a picture of the old FSC team (Randa, Bill, Beverly, Paxton, Matt & Me):

Here are a few pictures from the wedding. Stacy and Ryan are a lovely couple and we are so happy for them!
The ASU alums...all married now!

Stacy and her ASU girls!

I’m now at 21 weeks which starts the 6th month. I'm still tired; I don't think it ever ends! :) I'm also having lower back pain again, so I'm guessing my body is growing and stretching to make more room for Reese. You can see from the pictures that I am getting bigger. Our next appointment is on October 17.
