Promotion
I am being promoted from an EP01 to an EP02. Don't ask me what that means, because I really couldn't answer you, but I am going up a position, so I'm very happy. I think I even get a little pay increase with it, but we shall see. Anyway, I just thought I'd share the news with anyone who actually reads all of my random thoughts on this blog.

One Ginormous Pumpkin!
We grew lots of veggies this year in our new raised garden Brent built for us. We also tried growing pumpkins for the first time along our fence. We only planted one seed and it took off! However, we did only get one pumpkin that survived, but oh did it survive. It is freaking huge! Emerson can't wait to cut it up for Halloween.
How could anyone possibly refuse that face?!

Emerson had to get a new winter jacket and he thought he was quite cute and funny in it

Weekend Update
We had a full, but fun weekend. The College of Idaho had a soccer player alumni weekend and my friend LauraLee ventured to town with her kids in tow. Unfortunately, Mandi couldn't come also, but we'll make a trip over to see her hopefully in the Spring. I don't know who picked the expensive restaurant Friday night, but they should re-think that next time. Emerson ate as much calamari he could get his hands on. It is always good to have a happy kid with you. Anyway, we met lots of ladies from previous C of I teams and the current coach of the women's team. It was a lot of fun, but we were sure pooped when we got home. All three of us crashed immediately.
On Saturday we had errands to run in the morning, I had a soccer game to coach, we had to fit Emerson's nap in there somewhere, a lovely, but cold, wedding in the afternoon, and then over to my parents' for turkey dinner. Saturday was quite full. Again, we were exhausted.
Emerson has been wrestling with a cold all weekend so Sunday we hung out at home so Emerson could get some rest from our already very hectic weekend until we went to Dick and Joyce's house for a birthday dinner for Bobby. Joyce made very delicious baked pork chops in a very yummy gravy with mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, and apple salad. Emerson hadn't eaten much the past few days because he didn't feel well, but he sure did like the oreo cake!
Overall it was a great weekend.
