Life is calming

It seems our life has slowed to a trot. True's football season has ended with an undefeated season, in fact they didn't even have a close game. He is surrounded by a very talented and good group of boys. Maya's volleyball season is also over. They won about 50% of their games but she loved every minute of it. Lea has decided that her Cheer class is not for her and I really am happy about that. Giles has scouts and spends most of the rest of the time complaining that he can't play football yet. Mondays are so hard with Scouts, football, Achievement Days, Driver's Ed + every other normal occurrence in our lives that I don't miss that extra drive to town. Cyrus' team made state. It's been a long season for the Antelopes, well at least for us. We made it through both Loughlin's Birthday and the day he left us. It seemed more difficult this year but every year has been so hard. Farming is coming to an end, whether we like it or not. The snow was on the ground this morning. We have corn left to harvest and then the dreaded ground work........But the most exciting news is that Harlen and I leave for Hawaii on December 6th for our 20th wedding anniversary. I am both excited and petrified. I have never left the kids for 7 days and I have never been that far from home. I am excited though to spend so much undisturbed time with my hubby and to see one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It will fulfill a much needed rest for both of us. Harlen and Giles are traveling to California and back as we speak delivering bulls. I hate being here without them.

Friday we watched 3 football games. Cyrus', True's and then we ventured in to watch Loughlin's class play their last home game of the season. They are also undefeated. I thought it would be hard but it really was enjoyable to watch how ell all of them are doing. Loughlin would have loved it. Go Bulldogs! they really should do well at state.
