About 2 weekends ago Ben and Shawna came home from college. It was very nice to see them and spend some time with them. On Saturday we went out to eat as a family. It was very nice to be back once again all together=)
My friend, Sammi Jo, turned 21!! She had a black and white birthday party Saturday night. It was soo much fun. I also got to see some old high school friends which is always nice. It reminded me of college, because every year we had a black and white party with all of our friends. Good times!
On last Monday night my family was on the news!! I am posting the video link, http://cbs2chicago.com/video/?cid=8 as, well as the story link, http://cbs2chicago.com/investigations/road.cracks.idot.2.1258328.html. (Let me know if you have any problems.)My family saved tax payers over $100,000 just by one phone call. It is such a cool story. Please be sure to check it out and if you see any suspious activities going on by your house, check it out because you never know what might come out of it. As in our situation, it turned out to be a great thing saving taxpayers a good amount of money.

Quick Update...
Here is a quick update of everything...
I am going to be in Minneapolis on the 23rd until the 26th. I am very excited to see everyone. I have not been up there since Keegan's graduation in May, so it is well overdue!
Keegan came to visit 3 weeks ago and it was a blast as always. He was
only here from Thursday night until Saturday around noon. When Keegan arrived on Thursday, we came to my house and my mom had prepared an excellent dinner and had everything set. We had dinner as a family and it was a great way to begin the short weekend! Later that evening my mom, Keegan & I played blokus. It was fun. Sadly but surely Keegan lost both games. The sad part is I had to work Friday 9 hours. I got off of work at 4pm, so after that we went on a date=) He took me to this upscale sushi restaurant and it was amazing! We both got the same thing and it was delicious! Afterwards we went to get ice-cream and sat and talked. It is such a good feeling talking face to face and spending quality time together in person, instead of the phone or over webcam. Then we came home and watched a movie. On Saturday morning we went out 
to breakfast at Panera. Keegan then treated me to Starbucks and I had a Pumpkin Spice Latte... YUMMY! Then we spent some time with my family mostly JJ & Mandi and then had to say goodbye and drive all the way up to Milwaukee. I was on my way back and his plane got delayed. I was bummed because I could of spent 1 more hour with him. By this time I was 45 minutes away from him=( But I have good news... He is coming back to visit the first week of November.
Last weekend I went to Goebberts Pumpkin Patch & Farm with Sara, Nathan & some friends. It was so much fun to take pictures, pick out pumpkins, drink hot apple cider, see some animals all with great company. Saturday was such a fun, fall, relaxing day. I am glad that I went because it seems that fall is fading and winter is approachin
g. On Sunday we celebrated my cousins birthday. It was so much fun; we made our own individual pizzas. I made a heart shaped one.
This coming weekend should be fun because Shawna & Ben come home from college. I have not seen them since August and I did not even get to say good bye to them. I came home from work one day and they were already gone. I am looking forward to catching up and just having a fun weekend with the entire family.

Footprints
Here is something that I hope will encourage you as it encourages me greatly. Remember that God is always with us. With man our circumstances might be impossible, but with God all things are possible. He is bigger than our obstacles.
Footprints In the Sand by: Mary Stevenson
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you."
