I'm BLOG-GIN'

First, I do have to say that the blogging "chief" is kind of a hard ass. Not only do I have weekly requirements for school, but now I do for blogging as well (never saw that coming).

Anyway...here is my update (sorry it's not as exciting as new grandkids or homecoming plans):

I just enjoyed a fun night with Deb and Enda in Butte! We had a great dinner at Lydia's (preluded by cocktail hour at Enda's). We laughed a ton...especially about an old picture of Maureen in an outfit that probably fit Cherie and Bina about 5 years before Maureen was forced to wear it...it was cute, but clearly not inteded for the wear-ee. =) Then we tried on old hats...looking for costumes for the Roarin' 20's party and had many laughs (I call the brown tall square one...sorry). Unfortunately, no matching gloves were to be found. We also uncovered a letter from "Bill" in the cedar chest, which Enda was quick to discount (wonder what that was about). Will spend tomorrow in Butte again, catching up with my Gramma Helen at the nursing home and running errands with Gramma Enda.

I'm sure you'll all love this...I'm off to Missoula Saturday morning for the Grizzlie homecoming game (oh, and I guess I'll also see my brother). I do enjoy a good "Griz" tail-gate party though!

All is well in Boise. "Jesus" and I just spent a weekend in Seattle and enjoyed beautiful weather, fabulous dining, and great shopping. We had a fun summer together, exploring the Boise fly fishing scene, traveling back and forth to Bend, OR where he opened another restaurant, and enjoyed a fun weekend up at the lake. We camped for a weekend at the Gorge and took in a Dave Matthew's concert, which was incredible. The camping for 2 days I could definitely do without, but it was fun none the less. I started my final year of graduate school about 3 weeks ago and my professors seem baffled that I am taking 9 credits this semester and working full time...my hope is that they'll go easy on me but I think I'm in over my head. Next semester will be 6 credits and then I'm finished. Still not sure what I will do with it, but at least I can scratch it off my "Bucket" list. =)

Looking forward to a fun Christmas season in MT...which I hope will include the whole clan. It's been a while (Kelsie & Luke's wedding) since we've all been together!

Until next week....;)

Cheers!

PS...good luck with Homecoming "Funky Bunch"...sorry I'm of no help...didn't really get the creative gene in the family!
