8 days and counting.................

8 days until we go on vacation to Puerto Rico. A very much needed vacation for all of us. We will be heading out of Fargo on Thanksgiving day and will arrive in San Juan that evening. We will be there for 10 days returning on Dec 6. Izzy will be going back to Kathy's (our trainer, handler, breeder) and Brigitte and Lucy will stay home with a dog sitter (thanks Mary). Micaela and Brenna are in full swing with hockey. Micaela plays on the U12 traveling team and had a game in Brainerd on Saturday. They lost 9-0. It was heartbreaking. She also played Park Rapids on Sunday and lost that game too 6-1. Micaela scored the only goal for her team (not to mention the two she scored for the other team). Brenna had a jamboree this weekend. She got to play goalie on Sunday and said she really liked it. She wants to be a goalie now but Dad says no. I think she just likes to show off her chinese split skills with pads on! The girls' schedules can be found at www.moorheadyouthhockey.com. Go to "schedules" then "U12" and "Mite 4". Micaela will miss 4 games while we are gone but then we get to travel to Roseau for a tournament the weekend after we get back. I don't know if Brennie will come with us or stay with Grandma (hint, hint) so she can attend her games. Cassie has been working, going to school and hanging out with the boyfriend, Casey, who I lovingly call "Dipshit." He calls me "dork" so I guess we're even. She neglected to tell me she got into a car accident a couple weeks ago. She rear ended a truck while yelling at Casey. Andy has gone back to school to finish his degree at the Univerity of Mary. He has class Wednesday nights from 6p-10p so it makes for a long day for him. I am still taking Spanish and bombed my first test last week. Good thing the teacher likes me or I wouldn't be going on vacation! I signed up for Spanish II next semester with the same teacher. Can we say "SCORE?" I have been working at both NDSU and downtown alot lately. Trying to save up some extra cash for vacation and Christmas. I will probably cut back alot after Christmas but who knows. It's kinda nice making my own schedule and coming and going as I please downtown. A little extra money never hurt either. We will be posting pics while we are on vacation so make sure to check back. Until then Hasta la vista baby!
