October On the Go

As the title states, we have been "on the go" for most of this month. It is never a dull moment in our lives. Work has been keeping me busy in the form of a Saturday lunch and hiring a new Admissions Assistant. I am hiring someone to work during November-March for 20 hours per week. I received over 70 applications!!! This week, we are doing interviews, and we hope to hire someone by the beginning of next week.

Besides work, we have been very busy on the weekends. The first weekend in October, I went to Sabrina's District band competition. They did a great job and advanced to the Regionals. We also celebrated Mom's birthday and Mom and Dad's anniversary that same day.

The next weekend was supposed to be a great trip to Evansville to visit Sara and Jeff, who we haven't seen since March. Some scheduling issues occurred, so that visit has been postponed until November. So, instead we visited my parents and my friend Sharla.

The following weekend was the Regional band competition. Unfortunately I did not get to go. However, we went to visit Lee's mom in Louisville. She's lived down there for 3 years, and I think this is only our 3rd visit. She took us to "The World's Largest Halloween Party" at the Louisville Zoo. We got to see some of the animals, but better yet, it was a great outing for kids. The picture of Taylor was taken there.

This past weekend was Lee's birthday. While his grandma and mom took him out, I spent the day at the band's Semi-State competition. It was cold and windy - bbbrrrr!!!! After a rough performance, FP was blessed and got sent through to the State Finals at Lucas Oil Stadium on 11/1. I hope to send out good news next week with the results - knock on wood!

All in all, I had a great October, but I am glad the busyness of it is over. But, November isn't looking much better :-). We have a lot of things planned, and work will start to get very busy. Our admissions season is November - March, and I get very little time to do much else.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!
