As I sat down to blog today I realized I haven't blogged since September. Geesh! October has been a crazy month. We've had amazing weather. So amazing that shudder to think of what our winter will be like. There has been some ups and some downs but here we are. Earlier in the month my sister, Lauren, Rylan and Luke went to the Brandon Lake concert (see picture above and below). We had a great time.
In mid October Kim and I took off to Quincy IL to hear my absolute favorite Christian speaker, Susie Larson, at her Rise Conference.
About a week ago we all met up for dinner to bid John farewell as he headed south. He left about five days ago for sunny Florida. It was so nice having dinner as a family.
Sieb and I ended the month with Mike and Jenny. What a blessing their friendship is to us. It was especially sweet this time because Mike and I have never gone just the two of us. For Nick's last two years of high school we felt that one of us should be at home to simply keep an eye out on things for him. Now that he's 18 and graduated it was a perfect time for us to go. Sieb and I even got bumped to first class. It was truly wonderful spending a long four day weekend with our friends and great way to end the month.
