I’m the worse blogger on earth! If only I had more time…….but it’s an elusive thing in my life. :( So much has happened. My baby boy turned 15. Old enough to get his driving permit. However, I’m not quite ready for another 
heart attack experience!
Celebrated Monica’s 24th birthday and our 26th wedding anniversary. The girls treated us to dinner at a Brazilian grill in Provo. It was fabulous!
We dropped off our college boy at BYU. It was hard to say good-bye. To say he was excited is an understatement! 
Of course he couldn’t leave the state of North Dakota quietly. He had to make a splash with his farewell Youtube video.
We are down to one living at home and so far Sam finds that quite boring! You would think that I would have more time on my hands but not so. I often wonder how I did it with four. Sam is making sure I stay busy!
Sam is also working on the school play. All his activities and working two jobs whose has time for anything? I look forward to Saturdays but find they are just as busy as the weekdays.
On the bright side, we’ve had the most beautiful fall weather we’ve ever had here in North Dakota
However, since It’s taken a few days to finish this blog, we’ve already had our first blizzard (before Halloween) and celebrated Halloween.
We had great costumes but didn’t get to go anywhere with them because we were too busy working and missed all the parties. Sam, was Indiana Jones and attended a few parties but it wasn’t as fun as he would of liked. Poor kid he misses his siblings a lot! His parents are not as fun as he hoped.
On to Thanksgiving, it’s just around the corner. It will be a quiet one this year as the three oldest kids will not be coming home. I think we will be joining the news crew for turkey dinner.
I will be running my first 5K (The Turkey Trot) on Thanksgiving day. I have been training for 7 weeks now and have two more weeks to go. I look forward to the that. I credit my wonderful friend Rebecca Ottosen who gave me a great program to follow. She’s been such inspiration to me and so encouraging. Hopefully, she’ll be running by my side the day of the race. I believe she moved to Bismarck just for me. She has been such a great friend to me and she’s so much fun! Love her, Love her, Love her!!! That’s all I can say!
We attended Sam’s CDCC concert/style show/dinner last weekend where my sweet boy had his first solo. Alan and the anchor from the competing station were the emcees for the event.
It was a wonderful evening! I think I covered everything but that’s enough right?
