Change of Plans

Well, now that I've gotten you all to be excited for us to go to Disneyland, the plan has been altered. Since the sickness likes to stick around for a while, everyone agreed that it would probably be better for us to not go on the trip to visit the college. Caleb and I were a little bummed, but a little relieved that we can save our energy for when family comes! So, sorry, I won't be eating any ice cream sandwiches for anyone, and I can't get pictures of characters...... or can I? Well, we'll see anyway. Thanks for the sympathy. :) We're still really excited to see family though!!! It will be lots of fun, and since we didn't go on the trip this weekend, I'm sure we will be completely healthy by the time everyone gets here. Can't wait to see y'all!

What's up nuggets for Uncle Randy

School is going okay. I have to give an oral book review on Tuesday that I'm not looking forward to, but I am looking forward to the monologue I have to give for speech class. I'm not sure when that's due, but it should be fun.
It is good that the nights are cooling, but we haven't been doing a lot more because of it to tell the truth. Dad opens the doors often now that it's cooler! So we wear jeans and sweatshirts during school. :)
We are very excited for family to come. I mean hey, who wouldn't be? We probably won't do school while they're here! :) It really will be a lot of fun though. Six days from today they'll be here, but Caleb and I won't be. We're going to visit the Master's college in LA and won't get back until Sunday. The trip also includes Disneyland on Saturday!! It was going to be the whole youth group, but there's actually only one other girl going besides Caleb and me. It'll be fun though.
The new house is great, although it doesn't feel that new anymore, it still feels very nice and we enjoy it very much! Unfortunately Daisy seems to like to try to escape from her new yard. While our VM friends were here was the first time she did it. We got home after being gone all day, and she was outside the fence, but still close to the house. Then the next morning she actually got away and we spent most of the morning before church looking for her, but thankfully I found her. She was pretty far away from home, but happy to come get in the car with me. We thought we fixed the problem since we covered up the place where it looked like she got out, but then she was out again when we got back from town yesterday, and one of the gates was wide open. I was very relieved, however, that she once again stayed close to the house. We aren't sure, but we think that some kids that live around here may have come and opened the gate, so we'll probably get some kind of lock for it here pretty soon.
Here is a photo for you of Mom, Caleb, Daisy and me on a hike we took on Columbus day.

Hey, I guess my post got kind of long. Thanks for the questions Uncle Randy! Caleb and I actually caught some sickness yesterday. Mom and Dad had it a while back and we thought we managed to avoid it, but now we're both feeling bad today. It does give me time to update my blog though! Oh well, hopefully it will go away soon. I guess that mostly covers all the what's up nuggets!
