Fall is here...

...which brings snow, and cold, and hunting season! But this year it also brought my 10 year high school reunion!!! Wow, I feel old! I had a really great time catching up with everyone, but it also became very apparent to me that I have kept in touch with those that really matter. Some of them may only be a blog comment here or there, an email or phone call occasionally, others I see much more often. But either way I grew up with some amazing friends, and I'm glad to still call them friends. One thing that happened before the reunion was an overwhelming number of pictures being uploaded to facebook of our childhood and time in high school. However, the elementary and Junior high were more entertaining!The girls our first night at Old Chicago's.The second night with a few more!

It was great to see them, and to see a few people I haven't seen since high school. Made for a fun weekend!

Scott left for hunting on Friday and I am hoping him and my dad both bring home a cow! I know that would make their whole year and they definitely deserve it! They aren't seeing the extreme cold we are seeing down here, which is amazing that we are colder than the mountains. So while he is chasing Elk, I am praying our pipes don't freeze! Before he left we celebrated another year of marriage, he spoiled me again with flowers, I brought home Red Lobster. We joked that I may not be the best chef, but I sure know how to pick up some great carry out! And I think that is the best part of us, we laugh, a lot...And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Lastly, the white dog has been off his medication for a month now. We are about to put him into a study where they use his own blood, harvest it and inject it back into his joints. Ultimately, they believe this will slow the progression of his arthritis down and he may not have to be on his meds as much. I am so hopeful that this works, but so entirely nervous at the same time! I am hoping this brings him some relief but know it will be painful at first. It requires him to go in for three injections directly into his elbows over a month. But if it helps, I am hopeful it will all be worth it. I'm hoping that by December 14th (his 6th birthday) he will be running and playing like his old self, but most importantly pain free!!
