Kansas and football

I have become a slacker in the blogging world.  I just haven't had time lately to sit down and write out what's up with us.  Well, here is the quick "Cristy Notes" on what's been going on.

*Gracie WON her school spelling bee the Friday before Thanksgiving.  She will compete in the county bee in December.

*Gracie created a poster for 4-H, and her poster was chosen as one of the top 3 in her class.  Her poster will be taken to the county competition.

*We celebrated Thanksgiving Thursday with my mom, Nanie, and Aunt Linda at mom's house.  Nothing too fancy this year.

*We have been in Kansas since Thursday hanging out with John's sister, her husband, and two boys.  We went to see Justin play in the Border Showdown earlier today in Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium.  It was his last game as a college football player.  :(  I will post pics soon.

Other than that, we sign Gracie up for winter soccer next week.  John is still working on  his doctorate, and he started boxing classes a few weeks back.  I took my first Zumba class last week, and I hope to continue.  Last, but certainly not least, AUBURN BEAT ALABAMA yesterday!  WOOOHOOO!!  War Eagle!

Girl Scouts

Well, it is official.  I am a troop leader once again.  I signed Gracie up for Girl Scouts in the spring with the intention of having someone else lead her troop; however, it came to my attention last week that no one was available for the task.  So, once again, I will lead the girl's to greatness!  I really don't mind leading the troop, but it really is a lot of work.  I didn't realize how much time and effort went into it until last year.  Hopefully, this year I will have a little help.  So look for updates on Troop 2900 coming soon.  Who knows what craziness we will get into this year.  :)
