December again

Lots of Christmas shopping.

But spending most of the time looking for parking spots.

December

After being hit by a young driver and getting our family/dad's work van totaled, Dad finally scored and got a great deal on a van from a Church in Louisville Kentucky.

When he arrived home with it, laughter did not cease the household for some time.

IT IS STOCKING NIGHT!

Annual made up Murtha Holiday.

It was fantastic having the college students home this year!

As always it was a complete blast and success.

After the party died down a few of us went to the State Fair concert that was FANTASTIC!

Following the concert a small bundle of people had a WILD party at Rache and Ryan's, with two frozen pizza's, music, and couches.

The day started off seeing Mary Alice for the first time in several months, she is home for an extended weekend on fall break! 

I picked her up and we worked out way to the HEARTS/CCS Regionals soccer game. Unfortunately HEARTS lost by one point in overtime. 

But on the flip side HEARTS varsity volleyball is going to Cedarville University this Saturday for State tournament!!! 

After the soccer game we went to the September/October Murtha Birthday party, the first big event that was held at Uncle Jim and Aunt Sheryl's new house. 

Ohio State beat Michigan State, and a good time was had by all. 

think about it

I woke up with a cold, and took things to boost the immune system. 

Patrick had a game in the akron area today, so I rode with Josh and Walter to the game where many other faithful fans cheered the Grace team on. 

When Pat went in and the speaker announced "number 16, Patrick Breslin" our section of the stands cheered wildly. 

Alan was also at the game, I got to see him and Patrick for the first time in the few months they have been away. 

I rode passenger with Alan on the way home. 

In the evening I went up to crocker park where there were groups of HEARTS folks in every direction. 

Alan came over after crocker park and was here late...I went to bed before he left. 

Emily also spent the night. 

It was nice to catch up again, it was like older days.

Rachel is a beauty queen. 

Some of these pictures will be used to decorate/advertise for the salon. 

September 25

Big game tonight.  It was not only the home game where we honor the Seniors, but it was also against CCS, which of course is always a big game.

 

It was at the small and dirty salvation army gym. Children lined the walls and cheered their little heads off. 

It was way worth missing psychology class.
