Football

I feel as if this may be the title of lots of posts for the next few months. NFL started this weekend, so we are totally consumed with football at this point! I love to watch Landon play, but NFL just isn't my thing. I'm trying though, I might as well if that's what's going to be on the t.v. for five months, right?

Today was a good family day. We went to church this morning, although I should say Matt, Landon & Bailey went to churc. Elliot and I ended up sitting in the back. He was so tired and cranky. I did listen a little bit, but didn't absorb much. We started a new sermon series called "What Matters" that will last a few weeks, so hopefully next time I can catch more.

We went to Crane's this afternoon to pick a few apples and more importantly get some Apple Cider donuts. We normally make this trip a few times per year and we all look forward to it. We gave Elliot an apple to hold onto and it quickly became a favorite item, he didn't want it out of his site! After picking apples and eating donuts we drove around and took some great pics. We went to the New Richmond bridge, some railroad tracks nearby and then a graffiti filled tunnel thing that I remember from when I was little. I had to step outside my comfort zone to get some of these pics. I don't know why I'm so scared to just get out and take pictures by something, it's a road, it's not like I'm trespassing or anything. Oh well, I did it and got a few great pics. I really wanted to run a few actions on them to make them really cool, but it took me over 45 minutes to run a portion of an action and then the program shut down on me, so I give up and will show you a few untouched pics, eventually I will repost after running actions!



OK, I give up on pictures... nothing is working right for me, seriously! I was able to s-l-o-w-l-y upload two pictures, yet they aren't rotated right, so just turn your neck to a very uncomfortable position to view them! I have about 20 more I would like to upload yet, later though!

Tomorow night starts BSF and although I'm not exactly looking forward to the commitment I am looking forward to being more disciplined. I have grown a lot in my faith in the last few months with everything that has been happening, I feel as if I've been on a very long roller coaster ride but been forced to grow closer to God through that, but in spite of my growth I haven't been very diligent in reading my bible at all. So I am looking forward to being better at that! Bailey & Landon are both eventually going to be going with me, Bailey's class isn't ready yet (they are training leaders yet) and Landon had football on Monday nights until mid-October so he will start when that is done. They will both be going to Wednesday night church too so I don't feel bad having them miss BSF for a little while.

I know I had more I wanted to say, but I'm exhausted. I'm getting a cold and it's wearing me out just terribly. I think my body is just plain worn out from the past week, so no suprise on the cold really, I just hate how tired I feel.

Have a great week!
