Rounding out October

Well the rest of our October was fairly uneventful and boy was that nice! I don't think that we have been home for 3 consecutive weekends since - well before we even met! Our weekends have consisted of planting trees in the rain, staining our deck with the resulting sore neck, and hiking up Adams canyon with our neighbors. The hike took us took us to a beautiful waterfall. Most of the leaves on the trees had fallen but it was still fairly colorful.

On the second to last day of October my hair took the chop. I have been contemplating cutting off 10 inches for Locks of Love and the final push was when Kendra (a college friend) cut her hair for the 3rd time for Locks of Love and she is several years younger than I. I guess hair really does grow back-thanks for getting me to take the step!

We also had a visit from my Dad and sister Kaley. It was a weekend filled with food, cute little Madison, and many games of Killer Bunnies. We did go bowling and we killed the competition around us. There was 6 of us and we had 13 strikes and 17 spare. Jace took the #1 spot willing by a small margin with 163 points. Way to go Jace!

We also did our civic duty today and voted on a presidential candidate and also local leaders. We are lucky to live in a country that gives us a choice in our leaders.

Now the last update is not from October, and hasn't even happened yet but I recieved the most wonderful news today - I GET TO PLAY RUGBY THIS WEEKEND! I am so excited! But don't worry it gets better! After the game that I GET TO PLAY IN! Team USA is going to be playing against Team Uruaguy at the REAL soccer stadium. There is acutally another professional game that will happen before that game too! What a great day to come!
