Time flys....

I know when I was little it seemed like the years would just drag along taking forever to roll around to the next great event in my life. Maybe that's why time seems to fly now....I'm blessed with one great event after another. Let's see how I can do on an update...
Mike's still laid off. Mixed rumors about possible return dates or IF he will return at all. We're starting to look for some other options at this point. We've broke and sold more calves this year than ever, so that's definately a plus. The fat cattle market is down though and that's a minus. God does wonderfully at keeping us balanced.
Chris turned 17 yesterday. THUD. When he and Mike are outside walking across the yard it's hard to tell the difference. Mike commented last night that it seems like it was just yesterday that we were going to the North Callaway Homecoming Game. Yes, I know, it's been 22 years since that first homecoming. Chris has babysat my great niece a couple of times (less than 1/2 an hour each time) and it is so fun to watch him talk to her and feed her. He's gonna make a great dad someday in the future. He and Jesse are very much best friends. They get along so well and can have so much fun in even the most boring situation. Yes, it does make school interesting at times. Chris in going to the vo tech for an ag class this year. He seems to enjoy it and is doing awesome in there. They've switched from studying FFA to beef animals. Can you say cruising?
Jesse will be 15 next Friday. He's studying for his learner's permit and is so ready to drive us where ever we desire. Never thought I'd have one chauffeur much less two. Last weekend there was a Jason Aldean concert in Columbia that Jesse desperately wanted to go to. I checked early on and couldn't find any good seats at a decent price. Turned out he got some great seats on Friday for himself, Chris, and two friends for the same money I would've had to spend on nosebleed seats. Go figure. They all had an awesome time. I'm glad they were able to do and treat each other as a birthday gift.
Me...hmm....I now have a part time job at the children's library in Mexico. I get about 8 hours one week and about 15 the other. It's enough to cover the cell phone bill and groceries so that's good. I spent a lot of hours this August trying to get our website for the cattle up and going. Now it looks like I may actually be able to enjoy web design. I'm considering picking up a class or two here and there so that I might be able to turn that into a career in the future. We'll just have to see. I'm also working at trying to figure out what to make everyone for Christmas. And I need to work at the flowers for my parents 50th anniversary this coming January.
Life's an adventure here. We never know what the next day is going to hold and I feel as if God gets a good chuckle out of my plans each day. His are so much better if I'll just let go of what I want or think I need.
