Alan is going on an overnight trip with the men's group at the church. They all arrive this evening. They'll eat wings and talk, probably compare Honey Do lists or something manly like that. In the morning, they will prepare breakfast and they work off some testosterone shooting clay or skeet or something another. I'm glad he's going. I'm sure they will have a great time.
Will and Larissa got "chair rankings" in band. Larissa got 5th chair in flute. There was only 1.5 points separating 1st - 5th chair. She is so excited. She practices probably an hour a day. Poor cat, he hates the sounds that come out of that flute! Will got 1st chair in percussion. He's excited too. He beat out his friend Andrew by 1/5 a point! They both are talking about trying out for Regionals. Honestly, I have no idea what that really means except they play a solo, have to learn some new stuff, and a bunch of terms. I'm sure they will both do well.
The leaves are falling. The cat is trying to sleep on my laptop again. We turn the gas logs on in the early morning and evening to knock the chill off the house since I haven't broken down and turned the central heat on yet.
Christmas is 44 days away. I have a good start, but, no where near finished. Thanksgiving plans are made and Christmas plans are in the works.
I'm looking forward to my mom's birthday. Lynn and I are going to spend the night with her and then have a girls' day with lunch and shopping. We hope to make it a tradition.

Random Act of Kindness
Everyone knows how much I LOVE Chick-Fil-A. I could eat there every day. Seriously. This morning Will helped me with some "man chores" so I told him I'd treat him to CFA breakfast. As I pulled thru the drivethru, the owner, who knows me by face, said "I'm so glad its you!".
Huh?
She said I'd won the Random Act of Kindness. My meal was FREE!
WOW! I have never been on the receiving end of something like that. I have, several times, paid for the meal of the person behind me at a drivethru, but, never received one. Our local CFA does this every so often and today, I WON!!!
I can't wait to pay it forward!!

Family Update
Since its been over 2 years.....
Me: Same ole same ole I guess. Still working from home. Still loving the flexibility and know that I'm blessed. Hobbies? Gosh, I need some. I meet my friend for breakfast once a week. I drive the kids to school, sports, clubs. Does that count? I read blogs. I lurk on Facebook. I have just discovered Pinterest. .....I'll get back to you
Alan: Still teaching 9th grade. Still complaining! LOL He in trying to become more involved with the mens' group at the church. They have a weekly Bible study and they go on outings. He puts in alot of time practicing guitar, which is his passion right now.
Brenna: A SENIOR nursing study at Shorter College in Rome. GA. I'll be the first to admit, I never expected her to follow through with this. She seems to love it. She is beautiful and so smart. She's staying focused on studying, but has a good mix of friends and fun. She definitely seems to have her priorities in the right place.
Larissa: 7th grade. Stays busy with friends, cheerleading, tumbling, swimming, band (flute), and BETA club. I do my best to steer her away from of the drama scene. Girls are hard! Larissa is about 60.5 inches and weighs 105#.
Will: 7th grade. Stays busy with friends, X-box, swimming, band (drums), and BETA club. He just got picked for student of the month. He just finished his 1st year of swimming with the high school swim team. Back in May of the year, he could barely swim one lap. In one of his last swim meets, he swam a 500yd event. That's TWENTY laps folks! Yeap, he's come a long way. Will is about 56 inches and weighs about 73#.
