Well here is another Saturday.  I enjoy Saturdays for the obvious reasons, day off of work, no need to hustle and bustle around, and college football!  Since living in Iowa for over 5 years, I have developed a love for the Hawkeyes.  Growing up, we never really had a strong love for any team in college, except Notre Dame.  College football is just different in Iowa than any other place I have lived.  I always felt that growing up in the UP you were either a Packer or Lion fan.  I am smart so therefore I am a Packer fan!  Now I live with a Bears fan who is brainwashing our children to be Bears fans.  Eventually they will learn that the Packers are the superior team!

For those who read this, you all have figured out that I am not great at keeping this up.  I also got ticked off and the picture uploader and so I am not wasting anymore time putting pictures on this.  However, if you check Shutterfly or Facebook, I do put pictures there.  Point being, I would love to post some pictures of the boys decked out in their Halloween costumes, but you aren't going to find it here!  Halloween was super fun this year, and we have way too much candy.  Jacob and Andrew's buckets were overflowing by the time we came home.  We lasted the entire two hours and were able to trick or treat with some friends of ours and their girls. 

Other news of the week is the mid term election.  I often have to chuckle about some of the things I see people post on FB about the election, especially my bleeding heart libreral friends.  This election was obviously letting the powers that be know that the people are tired of what is going in the government.  Too much of anything isn't a good thing; food, tv, and government to name a few.  I for one am not a fan of Obama and think he is not a good President at all.  In fact its amazing that he is sitting in the highest office in the land and what do we really know about him.  Listening to news and radio programs we (as a whole country) know very little about the man.  It seems those who elected him were so disgusted with George Bush that they were enamored with a person who is able read a teleprompter.  He has been in office for 2 years and Congress is already making a shift and his biggest supporters are even questioning why they elected him.  I just hope Americans will come around and not elect him to a second term.  Well enough politics for this post.

Up next in our household is Thanksgiving!  I always look forward to this day as its a day to not do anything and just EAT!  I love it.  We are heading up to the good ole UP this year and join in the festivities with my crazy family.  It will be good to see my grandma as she is 95 years old this year!  Of course its always good to see my sister, her family, my parents, extended family and my friends.  We usually make it up there twice a year and its always so busy and a quick visits that I usually never get to do all that I would like or see everyone that I would like to either.  Oh well!
