Busy, Busy, Busy

It has been awhile since my last blog! I promise I will do better! Since my last blog Tyler and I watched the #1 Florida Gators play MSU, the dawgs put up a fight and were even tied 13-13 at halftime but during the second half they fumbled, threw interceptions and one ball carrier tripped over his own feet which led to the loss.


Halloween was this past weekend and Tyler and his friends Nate, Sky, Jonah and Dan all dressed up to go to a celebration at Andrew’s lake apartment. Most of the boys went as famous fishermen/hunters except for Sky who wrote book on his face…and was facebook. It took me a minute but once I figured it out I thought it was clever! Tyler and I went as Johnny and June Cash, it was pretty easy to do which was important because we decided on what/who we wanted to be at 4 when the Halloween party started at 7. The best part of the evening was spraying Tyler’s hair black, by the end his ears and neck were almost as dark as his hair!

Sunday night we had the pleasure of meeting Tyler’s professor, Dr. Kroger’s parents who are visiting from Australia for the next four weeks. They have lived all over the world and it was so interesting to hear their stories! We had a Brazilian meal, freshwada (I’m sure that is spelled incorrectly!) and I thought it was really good, which is rare for me considering how picky I generally am!

The weather in Starkville has been absolutely beautiful! It has been in the mid 70’s for almost two weeks! Earlier this week my North Dakota friend, Val and I went on a picnic to enjoy the gorgeous weather. While we were sitting in a park eating our wraps and grapes it awed me that we could still do this in November!

I think this weekend will be quiet considering most of our friends will be leaving town, making it a good time for Tyler to catch up on his “honey-do” list!
