A Busy October!

The past few weeks have been filled a lot of bad luck :( It all started with an ear ache...then double ear aches. A trip to the urgent care revealed that I had a double ear infection. I got meds and went to work the next day, only for my ear to begin bleeding...another trip to urgent care revealed a ruptured left ear drum. So I had been in quite a bit of pain. I'm feeling better now although I don't believe my medicine has helped because now two weeks later I still have pain in my right ear. Friday I was starting to finally feel a little bit better and my car broke down right in the middle of old cedar ave. in bloomington. I had a bit of a panic attack until a nice woman in stiletto heels pulled over and offered to help me push the car to the side of the road! We got it over there, skirt, stilettos and all! Scott has to rearrange hunting plans so I would have a vehicle for work on monday since he was going to be up north, but it all worked out and the car got fixed monday of the next week. Women of Faith conference was also that weekend and I had an amazing time. It was nice to be able to get away from all the stress that the week had brought and just be able to praise my father and realize all the amazing things I have in my life. An ear infection and a fewe car repairs are minor bumps in the road compared to what a lot of people may be dealing with. It also was a great time of healing for me since I've been carrying around a lot of pain....just needed a little refresher that God is always there for me and he loves me :) Next year Mom Brekke will be joining us for women of faith along with Rikki so it will be even better :) It was so great having Grandma and Mom up for the weekend, especially indulging in some shrimp with them :) This week kind of flew by..and now my hubby is up hunting again. What are my plans for the weekend? NOTHING!!!!!!!! I am so ridiculously excited to snuggle into our bed and watch hours upon hours of friends, eat ice cream, and relax.

Fall!

So, once again I have fallen behind on my blogging! Life has been crazy lately... We've both been very busy with work and always seem to have something planned on the weekends! September was a busy month, Scott went bow hunting up by Mille Lacs mid-september but there were too many leaves up, so they'll give it a try next weekend hoping there will be a lot less leaves in the trees! I had a womens' weekend with the ladies on the Heimdal side, we went to Kelli's in Des Moines and had a lot of fun chatting and catching up! Shea, my mom and I rode together so we headed back on Sunday. The weekend after that was an especially great one because I got to see TY! We missed him a lot and can't believe how much he'd grown! Heather, Zac and Ty arrived Friday night and we went out for dinner. Ty was a good sport even though I'm sure he was getting tired! They stayed the night and Saturday morning Heather and I made a short but very efficient trip to pick up a couple things. They left late morning and Scott and I attempted to get some things done around the apartment! SUnday we went to watch the twinkies play. It was Ty's first twins game, and I'm not sure he knew quite what to think. He was so good all game, just would get a little startled when the fans would go crazy! We loved seeing them, and have decided we have to come see Ty very soon! October hasn't been quite as crazy for us, we went up North to visit the folks and had a lot of fun visiting and picking apples..thanks Mama D! This past weekend we babysat my friend Cassandra's little girl. She is such a cutie pie and she instantly had scott wrapped around her little finger. I guess she doesn't usually like men besides her daddy, but she sure loved scott! I also went out to dinner for girls night with Rikki and Shealyn, I love having them down here and they are doing really great! Next weekend brings the Women of Faith conference, a high light of the year #1 because it is amazing to praise God with thousands of other women and #2 because I get to spend time with grammie and mama! It should be a really fun time! Scott will be in his deer stand that weekend so pray for deer to be sent his way...apparently this year he is going with "brown is down"! SO I think I am basically caught up! God is good and we're blessed with everything he's been doing for us!

Ty and Scott at the game!
