November is turning in to no-home-vember (clever I know). I have been gone two weekend in a row, and now it's Michigan week followed by Thanksgiving- YIKES!
Last weekend I went to Chicago for the OSU/Northwester game. Rick, George and I hopped in the ol' Mercury Thursday night and headed up to crash in on my sister and her husband. Connor came up too and the six of us went to the game on Saturday. I was so happy because I was able to see Jessie and Geoff's apartment AND Dre's new place.

Then THIS past weekend I helped out down at Akita for the Middle School Fall Retreat. I obviously set up shop in the program office. I kept on thinking I was going to turn around and see either one of the boys spitting in to a gatorade bottle Or Fred soaking his.... nevermind.

I know this is going to sound odd but... Thank god I got the day off from church today. My part time job at FCC is wonderful but waking up without an agenda feels great occasionally. Connor and I went to breakfast at this little Diner in Grandview with all the recent senior class pictures from Grandview HS posted on the wall. Styer's shining face in the front row smiled at me as I ate my eggs and french toast.
Homework time....
