More work, work, work this week...not much fun. But today is a special day...it's our wedding anniversary! Twelve years ago, Scott and I got married on a rainy, cool, autumn day in Minnesota. Someone told me that it was good luck to have it rain on your wedding day...I maintain that's just something people tell the bride so they aren't focused on the crappy weather! I think you make your own luck...and happiness.
I've learned so much about compromise, respect, and love in the last twelve years (ok, I've been with Scott for 17 years, so the learning started even longer ago!) While things have not always been perfect, I'm happy with where we are right now, and I look forward to spending many more years with him!
Ava and G both had good weeks...there was baton twirling, picture day, and an exciting Minecraft update for one kid this week, and the letter "s" toy (soccer ball), constant reminders that your picture day is NEXT week ("not today, be patient"), and a trip to Fleet Farm for the other kid. You figure out which kid belongs to which activities. It's tricky...haha.
Last night I helped a friend celebrate her wedding and attended the reception at her house in Wisconsin. My friend Tina and I went as each other's dates, as Scott was supposed to up north, but his best friend's son got sick, so he decided to keep the kids at home, just to be safe. G was so excited to see the chickens at Dan's house, so he was pretty disappointed that "chicken day" didn't happen as planned.
Oh, we do have some sad news...our fish, Bloop, went belly up on Friday. I received a distraught call from Ava near the end of the day. I felt so bad for her...we had a little burial for Bloop in our garden box (Scott broke the shovel handle while digging, so we also had a burial service for the handle, lol) and we're going to put up a little marker, so we always know where Bloop was laid to rest. He was with us for 1.5 years, which I think is a pretty long time for a fish. We'll see how long it takes us to get another one!
This weekend flew by, and there is still so much left to do. The next few weeks are going to be really busy with work, and then we are heading into the holiday season. Insane at how quickly time is flying by!

We also had fun at Cabela's last weekend!

Enjoying the sticky, warm air after the yummy dinner outside...
Oddly enough, we took a similar pic in the party bus ride back to the hotel. There were disco lights, a sofa, fuzzy pillows, and a fireplace on the bus...and also a bunch of kids. I don't think that's the normal clientele for this kind of bus!
