This year has completely flown by for us. We were busy with baseball, basketball, and track in the spring. The summer came and went very quickly, with lots of stuff changing for us. I graduated college this summer! (finally!) We sold our old camper that we had put some money into with Rae and bought a (new to us) old motor home! We visited Lincoln City with our family for a week. We found out we will be a new aunt and cousin; Baby coming in November! I tried to get a new job at Simplot. I made it to a third interview, thought I had it in the bag, got my hopes up way too high and did not get it. But it was an amazing learning experience for me!
Fall brought us soccer, football, lots of little day trips with Rae and Lu and my new online book club! We found some amazing places all within about 2 hours of Pocatello. I love the area we live in, probably very most in the Fall. It's beautiful and we need to explore closer to home more and appreciate the area around us. This Fall, I got on a waterfall kick. Well, it started in the summer, and continued over. We have so many amazing ones here. Some are little trickles, some are huge falls, some are blocked off and regulated and some you can climb right into!Here is one of the boys at Fall Creek Falls on our way home from a Jackson soccer day. My goal next summer is to find several more!
During football, we kept super busy, as always, and it was constantly in the back of my mind that this was Payton's last little league season. He decided to go out with a bang, I guess, because in the 2nd quarter of his last game, he broke his collar bone. It was very scary, but he was very brave. And he's already doing more with it than I or anyone else thought he would be.
Payton's doing great in school, even after missing almost a week, has straight A's. We are planning Laura's shower and getting excited for the baby (sex still unknown!) and Thanksgiving in Boise! That's all for today!
