Way Behind

Well, my mom went home yesterday and our unexpected visitors, Bob and Amy went home today.

We all had a GREAT time with my mom. She was able to see lots of football, celebrate Sam's birthday with us, meet lots of people, come to church with us, etc. We kept her going but didn't quite run her ragged. We ate out quite a bit, something I hadn't planned on and so my stomach has been paying for it for a day or two. We love her and miss her when she is not here, but it is always good to get back into a schedule.

Our long time friends, Bob and Amy, came in for an unexpected visit and we are so glad they did! We get to see them about once a year since they like to take an annual trip east and south in the fall to visit family and friends. Their original plan was NOT to come into BG, but things changed and they popped in. It was a quick visit, but so good to see their faces and to catch up.

However, due to all the busy-ness, I am behind on blogging and won't try to catch you all up but here are the latest goings on:

Sam's football team is 4-2 now. He played alittle in the varsity game Friday night and almost the whole JV game Monday night. His leg is feeling good and he is running well and making his way back onto varsity more.

Grace was cast as "Beth" in the play, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. She got the lead role with the most lines and we are very excited for her this year. She also made All-State Choir which means she gets to participate in a state competition in Lexington. She had to audition and we are proud to say she was selected from her school.

Jessie was cast as "Gladys", the smallest Herdman who is a terrorist in the community and to ehr older brothers and sisters. She played this role about two years ago and was really wanting this part again. we are also very excited for her.

We enjoyed an evening home tonight and watched the football movie, We Are Marshall. Very good...may make you tear up a little but soooo very good and based on the true story of Marshall University Football team of 1970.

The Body Shop is picking up and I have signed up another consultant. I am hoping to get two more before the end of the year and that will promote me to the next level. Little more $$$.

BLessings to all who read here!
