Our busy life....

Sorry I haven't blogged in such a long time. I guess I kind of fell out of the mood of blogging but, this is for a certain someone.( You know who you are)

Where to begin since school started...

First was labor day weekend. We took off and went to see Brandon's parents. Mine were out of town. It was kinda nice only having to plan time with one side and not both. We stayed from Saturday all the way till Monday. We left the dogs with their favorite kennel because we didn't want to wear Brandon's mom Lori out. She is doing very well with everything she is going through. I admire her so much. It was a great weekend spent with family. We are so lucky to have each and everyone of them!

Next is my moms birthday. She turned 50 on the 28th of September. My sister and her husband were planning on being back and my mom had asked if we could come. We told her we have been back so many times already we didn't foresee it happening. While on the side my sister and I had already planned that we Would come home and surprise her. They took her out to eat at a restaurant and we showed up right when they were getting out of the van. Her face was GREAT! She was so surprised. That was a great weekend with my side of the family. We did stop buy Brandon's folks to give Jim his birthday present as well and play some cards with his family before heading back.

That brings us to this last weekend. My sister planned a surprise going away/birthday party for her husband Tom. He turned 30 this year and he will be shipping off to Iraq in November. He flys helicopters for the army reserves. It was a great turn out! A ton of people there to celebrate and wish Tom well. It was totally a surprise. He didn't know what hit him. Such a great weekend. The only draw back is that it was such a long drive. Sunday we were in the car for 7 hours. We were glad to be home.

That's all for now... more to come later...
