Shout out to JANAY!!!

Congratulations to the Erie Tigers on winning yet another State Championship!!! Shout out to Janay! Congrats! WOW!

The only regret I have is that Bob and I were not at the games. We've been to every game since Janay has played at Erie -- I'm so excited for Janay and the team, but I still can't believe we didn't witness the excitement of it all! Go ERIE TIGERS! Sorry that we missed it, I will feel bad forever.

What a great group of Gals!

First snow of our Winter

We woke up this morning to snow..... I think I'm still tired of it from last year! Well, it was forecasted that we would get an inch or more of snow - they just didn't define for us what 'more' was. We got dumped with lots of snow, to say the least! Here are a couple pics from our back yard today --- hmmmmm, it's supposed to back in the 70's by Tuesday. Bring on the SUN :)

Happy Birthday to Matt Lewis

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TO MATT :)

I had to include the last name in the title, since we have 3 Matt's in the famly: Matt Anderson, Mathew Hougen and Matt Lewis. Matt Lewis is the youngest - just celebrating his 20th birthday. Gosh, 20 -- what a fun time of life to live!!! Isn't he cute!

Chuck and Allison spent the weekend with Matt in Fort Collins, where he is going to school. Sounds like they had a great weekend.... I heard something like 'Beer Pong'...etc. Sounds like college, huh!

Well -- Happy Birthday Matt! Enjoy college fun!

I started my new job on Monday -- it's been crazy, to say the very least, but I'm sure anyone that has gone through a job change recently (or even not so recently) can relate. I think I'm really going to enjoy this new job! It's been so busy, I've not even had time to shop yet, but, on my first day of work I was given this hoodie sweatshirt -- I'll take it! The atmosphere is fun, the people are fun -- it's a busy work place and I think I'm in for a long road --- however enjoyable!

Start your shopping now! Welcome me to Ebags.com :)

Mums in Bloom

Years ago, Allison bought me a mums plant and it grew in the little flower garden in the corner of our yard for years. It was pretty, but nothing like it is today! When we had our yard re-done, they moved the plant from the corner into the flowering area. I have said before that the flowering area always has something in bloom from Spring until Fall. Well, it's fall and the Mums plant is in full bloom. Thanks Allison!

Last Day of Sabatical

Ahhhhh, I've had some great weeks off from working :) Bob and I have done a lot of great things, and at the same time, I was able to sit at home and do non-routine stuff. It's been fun, and believe it or not, I'm excited to start my new job on Monday!

Bob and I spent the last couple of days in Breckenridge - we had a great time!! In one day, yesterday, I did all of the things I wanted to do while we were up there:

1. Take a hike

2. Suntan at the pool

3. Hit the shops in town and stop for a beer somewhere

4. Relax in the hot tub

Oh, and, let's not forget - watch the Rockies Game!!!! Go ROCKIES :)

These are a few pictures I captured in Breckenridge.

Nice visit with Dad

Bob and I drove up to Strasburg, ND to visit my Dad last week. He is doing well - I think he is doing real well, but when we visit it reminds him that he would rather be at home, and he gets confused as to where he is. When we first arrived, he was in the community room playing Bingo, and we actually had to leave and wait until they were finished!!! That, actually made me happy because it tells me that he is comfortable there and likes the social life. It made me sad to leave, as once it gets cold and snowy, it's really difficult to make a trip back up there. Hopefully though, I'm thinking I can get up there for a quick trip maybe in December. See you then, Dad :)
