Making plans

I'm neglecting this again. Oh well. Nate and I have been busy making plans for a December trip to Las Vegas with a few friends. We picked December because #1, it's a slower time for the farm, and #2, the prices are cheaper.

We're going to leave Dec. 12 and come back Dec. 16. We're spending three nights at the MGM Grand and one at the Golden Nugget downtown. I bought tickets to see Bill Engvall at TI Friday night, but other than that we're looking for ideas of things to do. If you've got a suggestion of a place to see or eat at, let me know!

Other than that, not much going on. Trying to get started with my Christmas shopping. We had house guests last week. Scott and Crystal were here Monday night, and Nate's cousin Chris and her husband Jeff stayed with us Wednesday and Thursday night. 'Tis the season for visitors.

Better get supper in the oven!

Another Halloween come and gone

Not much new to report. My pictures from Halloween are on my work computer so I won't be able to upload any photos right now. If you're on facebook, you can see one on my profile picture. Jacob went as a puppy for Halloween, complete with the barking and panting. We did a little trick-o-treating and I doubled it up with some work assignments. It was a great night for it. Nate was too tired to go out that night and I don't usually get into the dressing up stuff anyway. We had a grand total of three trick-o-treaters, but probably would have had more had we been home before 8 p.m.

The election day was hectic at work. Nate started combining corn this past weekend and has been rushing around trying to get some done before it rained and snowed this weekend. We're also having the Scanlan/Nelson thanksgiving this Saturday, so that is one good thing about the rain: Nate won't be missing much at home.

That's all. Told you it wouldn't be much.
