Time Is Flying By!

Hi Aunt Donna & Uncle Jim!

Where has all the time gone...its already the middle of October! I love it when the leaves on the trees start to change. Jake and I tried to take a few pictures of them on our way home from Indy this weekend, but they didnt turn out as good as the leaves actually look. Today I went on a hunt looking for a Christmas wreath. I dont know why in the middle of October I got this urge, but it was something that I really wanted to do today. Well, I didnt find one! So the search will continue on :) Jake and I had McAllisters tonight, which reminds me of all the times I've eaten there with friends who have moved away-it was a sad moment, but my chicken spud hasnt changed!

On Thursday we went to Monrovia to visit Jakes family. It was senior night for Jessica-so we decided to try to make it to her last regular season match. Monrovia won and Jessica threw a few spikes down on the other team!

Jessica in Action #3

On Friday night, it was Jordan & Joes senior night for football and band, so we went to that to watch Jordan play his last regular season game and to watch Joe perform at halftime in the band. Friday was also Jasons birthday, so Jason, Tab and Isabella were down for the weekend. We were able to see most of the family with a few exceptions. Rachel is hanging in there with the girls while John found his way back up to Detroit last week. Needless to say I got my "baby fix" for a while. For some reason these little fixes arent lasting as long as they need too! We are planning to wait a few years until we are settled and have had a few years for us, but since we arent planning on kids-I've been discussing a dog with Jake lately. Unfortunately, we are too busy to get a dog at the moment, but maybe in August!

Jordan, Scott, Jessica, Darlene, Joe-Can you believe they are seniors?!

Jake & Jason-Happy 28th Birthday!

Foodservice Land!

Things are going well in foodservice land. I've completed the first week of the remaining 10-I'm hoping Christmas comes faster than ever! It doesnt take me 11 weeks to figure out that I never ever want to work in foodservice again-its like smelling like food and thinking you've eaten 30 times each day. Not to mention mass production of food, I can barely cook at home :) I'll survive..no time for complaining.

Just a side note for those Big Brother 10 enthusiasts: Dan the man won and we all (Jack, Al, Jake & I) predicted it a long time ago! Looks like Big Brother needs to get a check on the production or something.

Underway are new shows I like to watch like Survivor, Greys, Desperate Housewives, Amazing Race, etc. Too much to watch-I just get so sucked in to everything on TV. I'm trying not to sit down in front of it much more but to get the details on the election. I've decided I'm gonna vote for the first time, but I need some serious update on the candidates.

Jake is wonderful- we bought a new car on Saturday and traded his in. Needless to say hes not sad about the trade in, He likes the new car better :)

Isabella, Jason, and Tab dropped by on Friday night and spent some time with us so we could see our growing neice. I cant believe how big shes getting, they say they grow up fast! Better watch out Tab- before you know it she'll be walking all over the place. We are trying to make a plan to visit all 3 of the girls often just because we know they are gonna change so much and it keeps us busy so we arent thinking about having our own yet! Maybe in a couple years, but my grandma keeps saying she isnt getting any younger!

Visiting John and Rach!

We are visiting with John, Rach, and the girls this weekend-while hoping to see the rest of the busy family! Lately we've been really busy with work and school/internship, but we've been finding time for our almost ridiculous reality show addiction.  Since we have had DVR its been worse too! More later when there is more time...

Weekend in Chicago!

We are headed up to Chicago this weekend to stay with Jackie & Alex! This will be Jake's first weekend off in a while so we thought we would make the trip :) We are excited and have lots of things planned to do while we are there for a short time. I'm glad to have a break from the computer- I dont think my hands would last in an office setting. See you later next week! Monday-Thursday wraps up the community rotation for me, but I still have lots to do. Who would've thought bulletin boards would have been so hard to create?
