Hair Experiment


I asked Matt to try out a beard for awhile, but unfortunately his genetics do not predispose him to hairiness.

While removing the beard, Matt showed me some other options:

Trucker and Magnum P.I. (a little sparse though).

I think clean shaven is the way it has got to be.

Costumes


This Halloween I was a tiger and Matt was a Steve Erwin type character (with tiger claw marks on his arm and neck).

We had a fun time eating snacks and giving treats to trick-or-treaters and watching the Ducks dominate the Trojans.

I'm glad that you never have to grow up on Halloween.

Horse Show

Andrea and I had our first experience with competitive horse riding. We performed a training level dressage test that included walk, trot and canter. Just a few hours before we rode, we decided that it would be fun to dress the part...I think we got style points.

I had to leave right after the test for my soccer game and did not get to stay for the awards. Andrea called me a little while ago and told me that I got 2nd place! I got a ribbon! It's going in my office.

In soccer news, we played 1 down and still ended up 5-0! What a brilliant day.

Autumn


I have loved every season so far the year. Each one has had its own beauty and delightful memories. Fall is no exception with Pumpkin Spice Lattes and the brilliant crimsons and canary yellows of the changing leaves.

Happy Autumn to You!

Women's Fall League

I've been playing on a women's soccer team this Fall. The team is made up of the women on my co-ed summer league team plus a few extras. It has been really fun to play this Fall, especially since I can now easily run past the defense as a striker...not so easy in co-ed.

My Dad took this photo today of our game near my apartment. We won 4-2!

This is my 100th post, I feel like I should be giving out prizes!

Conference

This is the first time I've traveled (and stayed) for work! I went to a conference over the weekend and was blessed to stay with friends: Jay and Kirk. The conference was at a golf resort and it appears that they use natural greens keepers (deer).

I delivered a Cricut to Jay and we had fun setting it up and experimenting with the features.

I enjoyed having the couple to myself for the weekend, especially our time talking about faith and family. Love you friends!

Another type of pet

Me: Do you have a cat at home?
PreK: No.
Me: Do you have a dog?
PreK: No, I have a brother.
