Fall

Fall is finally here. Fall is one of my favorite times of year. I love the changing of the leaves, sweatshirt weather, and the beginning of basketball season. It is also the time of year for my birthday (today), Parent-Teacher Conferences, and Fall Break.

This will be a busy week as I look forward to a few days off for Fall Break. I am so thankful for the wonderful class I have this year and all their excitement they bring each day to school.

On the Football front, it will be an important weekend for the Irish and the Colts.

Notre Dame travels to Washington to face a win less Huskies team. They can't afford a letdown, this is one that shouldn't even be close.

The Colts looked horrible in a loss Sunday to the Packers. It doesn't get any easier as they travel to the only undefeated team in the NFL, the Titans this weekend.

Weekend Recap

Well, it was another busy weekend! Friday night I headed to the Warsaw and Northwood game with my buddy Jason. We both thought that this would be a good game. We were both wrong! Northwood looked really good in beating Warsaw 54-24. The Panters are for real!

Saturday was a day for getting things done, working out, watching a little football. My Irish fell to North Carolina in a close one, 29-24. The Irish looked great in the first half, but turnovers did them in at the end. Saturday night we headed to Casa's for supper to celebrate Judith's retirement. It was a great time of fellowship!

Sunday was church and then to David's birthday party. David just turned 4 and he is one of my favorite kids in the whole world! David loves Larry Boy, loves being a cowboy, and loves to pick on me :) It was a lot of fun hanging out with our good friends. Happy Birthday David!

Good Football Weekend

This weekend is going to be a good one for football. Tonight there are some good match ups in high school football. I will be attending the Warsaw at Northwood game. This should be a good one. It is Senior Night for the Panthers. Jimtown and Bremen will battle in a close one tonight. Both teams are solid, and the Lions have some revenge to take care of.

Saturday College Football will be fun. I haven't had a chance the past month to watch any games, especially my Irish. Notre Dame travels to North Carolina tomorrow. The Tar Heels are ranked and are much better than last year. We will have our hands full. If we can pull out a huge road win tomorrow, I think we are for real!

Sunday the Colts travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. The Colts have been horrible so far. They could very easily be 0-4. The Ravens have one of the best defenses in the league and our offense has been very sporadic this season. If the Colts fall to 2-3, it may be a very long season in Indy.

Legacy

A few days ago we buried my grandma. My grandma lived 92 amazing years. As I have had time to reflect the past few days on her life, I have come to the conclusion that she left such a legacy for her children, grandchildren, and friends in her life. I remember many wonderful things about her. She used to come over and baby-sit for my brother and I, she supported me in my athletic events, she was always reading bible stories to me, and she always used to give me a half a piece of gum.

At the viewing, they displayed my grandma's bible. It was amazing to look at her bible. She had written in the margins on about every page, it was well worn, and you could tell she spent hours in the word of God. It really made me stop and realize that I am not anywhere close to where she was spiritually. I want to get into the word like she did. Her example is one I want to follow. She is up in Heaven rejoicing and having a great time I know.

Thank you for all your prayers, flowers, and cards during this time.
