Pulling an All-nighter

Friday night Travis and I went with our youthgroup to an all-night event called the Word of Life Superbowl. I've been a bunch of times with my old youth group but this was my first time being a leader. We each had a group, I had 6 girls and Travis had 7 boys and Travis drove one of the vans. First we went to see the Manchester Monarchs hockey game. It was fun but they ended up losing by 1 in a shoot-out. After all the youth groups stayed in the arena while everyone else left. They had a short message and then played some games where the kids could win prizes. A lot of the kids in our group got up after the message to talk to counselors about salvation and a few filled out a form that said they had accepted Christ. After that we went to an indoor sports complex around 1am. There were some blow-up games and also football, soccer, and dogeball. We also got free pizza. At 3am we left for bowling and stayed there until 6am. It was a looong night but it was still fun. When we got home we slept until about 12ish and then forced ourselves to get up so we would sleep that night. We must have been more tired than we thought because neither of us woke up to the alarm this morning and ended up missing church! We ended up going on a boat ride with my dad. It was freezing!! We only saw one other boat on the lake while we were out there so that was cool. We are going to get on the webcam soon so we can talk to our niece Riley.

Happy November!

On thursday I got to take the kids to see the Wiggles! They were all so excited! I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Vincent (he's 5 and has Angleman's) doesn't do well with crowds so he had a small meltdown when we got inside but his mom was able to calm him down and we made it to our seats without much trouble. When the music started and the lights went down Vin started to cry! He was a little scared and it was so sad! But once the Wiggles came out he got excited and didn't cry the rest of the time! It was so cute to see all the kids dancing and singing. Friday I got to see the kids in their costumes before they went out with their dad trick-or-treating. Vin was spiderman, Madison was a pink flamingo, and Jack was the cutest penguin!

Travis and I just went out to dinner on Halloween. We went to the 99 since its one of our favorites and we hadn't been there in a while. I started off with the chicken and corn chowder and it was delicious! We both ordered steak tips and chicken fingers and I have to say I wasn't too impressed.

In other news...I think I have caught the baby bug! haha now I know now is not a good time since I'm still in school and we don't make that much money. I just keep hearing about people getting pregnant and I just can't wait to be a mom! I really didn't think I would want it this much already but since I've been married (and know it could realistically happen anytime) it's been on my mind. Plus my FIL keeps asking us when we are going to have a cousin for Riley to play with! He also bet that we would be pregnant 2 months after we got married but thankfully we made it past that! I guess we will just have to wait until God decides it's the right time.
