Sunrise, sunset

Sunrise on the way to College Station
Sunset from my office
I try to work extra hours while in College Station. I ended up being at the office late enough to catch the sunset after catching sunrise on the drive there from Austin, though the major reason for that was a long conversation with a colleague in the department. Regardless, it was a pretty day (when viewed from inside in the AC)!

Consistency

Texas is consistent!

Accidental matching!

Kyle and I already had the bathmats, and we received a couple of towel sets for the wedding. I don't remember purposely matching the bathmats, but it seems to have worked out nicely!!

Pumpkin cookies!

Used some of our new kitchen stuff and made delicious pumpkin cookies! Highly recommended! I realized fall was approaching on our travels seeing other places selling pumpkin goods, but it feels far from fall here in Texas. Regardless, pumpkin!

Wedding cards

... Have replaced the shower cards! So much love!

Wedding gifts!!

Lots of boxes! The UPS store was glad we came by.
Carnage!
More carnage!
Lots of awesome appliances!
The requisite kitchen rearrangement. Everything fits now (mostly)!
Kyle and I went through many of the wedding gifts this weekend, which was fun and overwhelming and messy! We got so many nice things; people have been so generous with us!

Flight back to Austin

Mt Hood with the Columbia river in the foreground
Some crazy-looking ground!
We guessed this must be near or part of the Salt Lake, but wow is it crazy. Some of it is clearly manmade, too.
These circles always look so weird to me
The flight back to Austin after the mini moon was very clear and neat. We flew by many of the major volcanoes. Though Rainier must have been visible from the opposite side of the plane, I was able to get pictures of several mountains on my side, along with other interesting ground along the way.
