It's AUTUMN time! It's AUTUMN time! THE LEAVES ARE FALLING DOWN....
......
......
The season has definitely changed. I am approaching the last year of my 3rd decade and am changing right along with the season. I am hopeful this coming year is a good one. Here is a photo of the bouquet of leaves Savannah brought home for me a couple weeks ago.
I miss my family and Utah. Not enough that I am wanting to live there again...not yet. But it is funny. I miss the food more than I thought I would. I guess I thought they would have the same fare here as they do there. I asked a co-worker today where a good burger joint is that serves Pastrami burgers. He responded with, "What's Pastrami? Is that some kind of sausage?" I burst out laughing and then he seemed embarrassed. I feel bad now, but how can you not know what Pastrami is? (Or frysauce for that matter?)
Yep. They eat a lot of sausage here. They even make burgers out of bratwursts. I like my share of bratwurst but enough is enough sometimes!
Savannah is adjusting well to second grade, she is especially getting into her math - I am thinking of getting her signed up in the after school class for improvational acting. I think it would be a lot of fun for her. She often gets in front of the camera and "acts" like she is on the news. It is hilarious.
We aren't up to much other than working. Brooke is working temporary jobs - it is a struggle for now with trying to find rides and getting crazy schedules. Ryan is growing fast, he climbs up to things and is learning to feed himself and walk all around the house in his walker. It is funny to hear him laugh out loud at the dog playing tug of war. Michael is a stay at home dad for the most part and keeps the house up, which has really freed up a lot of time for me on the weekends I must say.
Well we hope you are all doing well. I don't get into blogging as much as I used to but I hope to continue more now that life has settled a bit from all the changes in the past few months. We have post poned our trip to Wisconsin Dells but plan to go when the weather is warmer.
Happy FALL!

Grandma Wahus
Some wild sunflowers Savannah and I picked from the side of the road
Mitchel SD, Corn palace, the outside is constructed of corn made into designs
Corn and more corn
We went for a little trip to Charlie's home town where he was born, it was a lot dryer than here in Green Bay, reminded me of Utah a bit without the mountains and lots of corn and potato fields. I thought it would be good to see where he was from and to visit his elderly grandma who is 84 years old - Savannah's great grandma. She was so ecstatic to see us, and when we took her for a nice walk outside she admitted she hadn't been out since she started living there last year. Seeing her so happy it was hard to leave, I wish more family lived near her to visit and then maybe she wouldn't be so depressed. On the way home we visited the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD - it was pretty cool!
The trip was a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of working and life. Huron was a small town where everyone knew everyone and people were home grown - fields of old cars and cute home made fixtures it reminded me of my dad a lot. It really is cool how every place is different one town to the next. That is why I love road trips I guess. Next we are heading out to Wisconsin Dells to play for four days for my birthday month! A gift to myself!

In full bloom...
Thought I better post a picture to show you all how much my flowers have grown! Look at the previous post (two or so back) and you'll see the difference! Maybe 250 flowers weren't so bad after all - they are still going strong and are beautiful!
