This was our Aspire event day in Schaumburg, IL.  Long and busy day.





Tried food from this cool little place - Minnie's!

Sierra left for the College Getaway event that she was attending at Pensacola Christian College.  She arrived around 3:30pm.

Thursday, October 24

Eric and I left at 4:45am with our team to catch our flights at O'Hare.  He flew to Dallas for his next event and I flew back to Jacksonville.


Kylee was in a drama production at PCC.  Here are a few photos from that.







The rest of my day and Friday, I had a bad headache.  I did not get as much accomplished as I would have liked.  Thursday, I took Summer to her American Heritage Girls club at 4:30pm.  We then decided to watch a Hallmark movie.  It was nice to be just the two of us. :)

Friday, October 25

Friday, Summer did school.  I went to the chiropractor and did a couple errands.  At 5:30PM, I took her to her horse riding lessons.  Then we watched another Hallmark movie. :)


Addie got her "brag tag".  This is a badge that seniors get that say their name, major and show that they are almost done!  So proud of her!






The barn kitties loved me. :)






Then came home to my own kitties. :)


How you leave your kitchen when your headache has persisted for two days. :(

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
