Today is the perfect autumn day!! I decided to go to Walton Park to take a picture of the first snow fall in the mountains. On the way I passed an apartment that had soft jazz music playing and I realized what a different slice of life I am experiencing here in Longmont. The walk to the park was wonderful, kicking through the leaves, feeling the gentle breeze on my face and feeling the 79 degree weather. I couldn't ask for more:)

Today is Stephanie's birthday!! I just have to say how much I love her and am SO blessed to have her in my life. Steph is an absolute sweetheart! She doesn't have a mean bone in her body, she is a fantastic mom and is raising two wonderful children with her great husband, Shawn. Steph is such a hard worker. She is getting her bachelors degree in nursing and working so hard. I think back at my life with Steph and think of dance lessons, eye surgery, chicken pox, taking care of little brothers and sister, wrestling around with Chris, her giggly friends, boyfriends, mud falling from under the suburban, gun shots, prom, trip to Hawaii were she thought her mom was going to die, broken ankle, dance team, group study in the addition, graduation, Shawn, Fort Bridger, swimming, Weber State, Marriage, UVSC, BYU, Oregon, Chloe, Austin, Utah, Colorado...... She has accomplished so much but the best of all is the beautiful woman she is. I am grateful!

I just got back from what used to be called Homemaking Meeting but is now a Relief Society Activity. I saw all sorts of different things to do with decorating pumpkins and decorating with pumpkins. Felt the love some good ladies in the ward. Did my heart good but had to come home to go to bed. 4 is so early.....

I had to find a new doctor to get my prescriptions filled. Rebecca recommended Ammie Christiansen at Rocky Mountain Family Practise. She seems really nice. She wanted me to get some blood work done so here I am. The gal that took the blood was so good. I didn't even hardly feel anything. I have to go back in a month for a well check. Yippee!!

There are train tracks that go through the middle of town and I didn't know if I would like the trains or not. You know, I live far enough away where the whistle isn't very loud but I can hear it sometimes and I like it. I like to see the trains but not when the traffic is stopped and I have to wait 10 minutes for the train to move through an intersection. The place the I am stopped the most is where Nelson Rd splits off of Ken Pratt Blvd. Oh well, it is still new and different and that is good. This picture is looking over Walton Pond at the train.

Today is my birthday. I can't believe I am this old... Anyway, I am off work today so I took a long walk along the St. Vrain Greenway. Gorgeous day. Went from Roger's Grove past Waltons Pond and further until I figured I better turn around before I went so far it would take me forever to get back. The Canadian Geese were great and doing a lot of honking. Kathy Thompkinson took me to lunch at Little Saigon and I had a shrimp noodle bowl. Really good. And then she gave me this bouquet of flowers and she and her husband are going to take me to cold stone for ice cream tonight. She is so fun! I had my kids call and text me today which was so nice.

Today I want to just write about how much I love Brie. Today is her birthday and I am just so overwhelmed with feelings of love and gratefulness for her being in my life!! Brie is an amazing young woman. I don't think she has one mean bone in her body. She is always kind and has a good heart. I remember when she was younger how much she loved animals and felt so bad during hunting season. Her dad and I used to joke that she might make up placards and march on the neighbors sidewalks when they came back from hunting and had killed elk or deer. This is a picture of when she and I went to Hawaii. We had a blast with snorkeling, swimming, sightseeing but there was one bad thing. She got badly burned on our last day there and on the flight home had to sit leaning forward because her back hurt too bad and was terribly blistered. I just have so many good memories of being blessed to be her mom and thinking of her right now brings tears to my eyes just from gratitude. I hope she knows how much I love her and how proud I am of her!!!
