Chicken Dance
In my quest to blog more, I thought I would add a little humor to everybody's day with a great story! While at work reading the newspaper this last weekend I came across the Fleet Farm ad. Of course I found some great deals. I decided to have Ryan pick me up at the hospital and we would run up to Lakeville quick. Let me note the time...3:30 when Ryan arrived at the hospital to pick me up. By 5pm, less than two hours later, we arrived home. Prior to leaving Ryan set out 3 raw chicken breasts to thaw for supper. Little did he know when we got home they were gone. All that was left was the plate sitting nicely on the counter. I asked him where he had left them. He turned white. It turns out we still have my parents dog, Maddie. She doesn't have a chewing problem like Jack does, so we let her roam the house when we are away. Well...SHE ATE 3 RAW PIECES OF CHICKEN. That night I would say she was smirking the entire time at us, while doing the chicken dance!!!!!!!!!!

Explanation=Laziness
I know it has been awhile since I have last blogged. I have tried time and time again to think of excuses as to why this has happened, but unfortunately my mind has become a complete blank. The only one I can think of is pure laziness.
September highlight:
Ryan and I experienced our first Jesse James Day experience. Jesse James Day (aka the Northfield town days) is not just a regular celebration. People from all over the US come to Northfield to celebrate the day Jesse James tried to rob First National Bank, but was defeated. You would say Jesse James Days is the state fair of Northfield. Both of our parents and my brother and his girlfriend came down to join in the festivities. My dad and I even ran in the Jesse James 15K. Yes you have that correct if you do the math it is 9.32 miles! It was not the longest, but the most horrible race I have ran. Imagine yourself running on a country road and you see nothing but sun, hills, and corn fields. YET, I will be the crazy one to run it again next year.
October highlights:
October was more eventful for us. October 1st our fabulous friends, Jay and Katie Kasner, got married in the twin cities. They had a beautiful day and was fun to catch up with friends.
We also celebrated a special 3rd birthday for my cousin's child, Brielle. It was a day filled with dolls, Tinkerbell, and playtime! My inter-child came out that day when I spent the day outside with my godchild, Gavin.
November:
November has slipped by us. We haven't done much besides work, work, work. Ryan helped his parents on their farm. Getting ready for winter has been a chore for us too because we are homeowners this year.
We have been taking care of my parents dog, Maddie. My parents decided it was a good idea to take a Mediterranean Cruise for a couple of weeks (of course they didn't ask me to join them!). It was a trip "for adults." ;) So since they are sailing the seas this Thanksgiving, my brothers and I will celebrate at Grandma and Grandpa Huxford's this year. I am excited to see my brothers, Logan especially, (I haven't seen him since he left for school in September), and also my uncle and cousins. I hope you all get to share a simular Thanksgiving experience with friends and family!
