Love fall....sports!

Tonight there is a hockey game and a Duke basketball game on...what a lovely Friday in my book. If there was football on tv, I'd get carpel tunnel in my thumb from switching back and forth so much. I don't get the hockey game on tv, it's too expensive to subscribe to all that, but 99.9 The Fan is really an awesome station. I never thought I'd be so into sports radio, but it's great. The afternoon show with Mark and Mike is my favorite, those two are just funny and seem to mesh well personality wise. So for tonight I'll be saying "Let's Go Canes!" and "Go Duke!"...wooo!

November...

Can you believe it's November? The month of Thanksgiving, the prep for Christmas...it's so exciting. I went to pick up my prescription at the pharmacy and they had a Christmas tree up. I did think it was too soon, but it gets me so ready for the season. Barnes & Noble carries Starbucks coffee and I did enjoy about 3-4 pumpkin lattes last month, here soon is peppermint and my absolute favorite eggnog latte. Something about that mix is the best and just gets me ready for the season. I am kinda glad that so many retailers are doing layaway this year, like Toys R Us, Sears, Kmart, etc...it gives you the chance to have nice Christmas ideas, but not hurt yourself when you buy. There is a new Toys R Us in the Babys R Us off Capitol, so I'm ready to see what they have in that store.

We went to an awesome baby shower this weekend, the food was so good it hurt. Literally, about 1 hour after my stomach looked liked the shower could have been for me. So yummy though, the relationships we have at church are so wonderful. Everytime we get together it's a wonderful time and I always look forward to more.

If I could just get over this headcold I'd be all set...

Planning whoops....

So small groups start tonight and with going down to one car we have to make some plans about how we're going to make it. Right away The Apples volunteered to drive Lorelei and I to the group tonight and I was grateful. Thinking nothing of it...took Spencer home last night, get up today, watch the kids and at 5:30 tonight, 1 hour before they arrive, I realize I have no car seat!!!! Great, so I call my in laws and they have agreed to bring over one for us to borrow for tonight. Normally we have at least 1 car seat in the house, because we have 3...one from when the kids where just small toddlers. Having nothing stinks, also...I don't even know someone close to here who I could borrow one from. I don't know my neighbors beside us that well and everyone else has smaller kids. So that stinks...

On a positive note, Travis was able to talk with his boss tonight and secure Mondays off...so he is able to be a part of small groups as well. I am really excited, because the small group experience is a very important part of our faith. The accountability is crucial and needed as well. So I am glad that was something that worked out, the Lord's hand was guiding it all along. I am glad the church small groups are starting and hope everyone has joined one and finds the experience as fulfilling as we did during Core Group meetings. That was a smaller condensed time as well, so the full 2 hours should be a wonderous thing.
