| Hi friends, it's fall and I live in the Midwest! In this case football definitley must be part of life :) Last weekend I was privileged to go to The Big House (Michigan Stadium) for the ILLINOIS vs. Michigan game. It was the most fun I've had in a while, here are some pictures.
 
Here is coach Zook talking to Coach before the game. And the boys getting ready to take the field! We had awesome seats!
 
Huddle. Mohan sporting his Illini gear!
It was a fabulous day, we made breakfast in the morning, got a couple of errands taken care of, got a Starbucks :) and went to the game!
This is shortly after we scored...again :). Renee Sims is behind me, we got to see the coaches wives and chat with them, we also got to see James (all the way from San Diego to see the Illini!) and Pastor Grogan - we ate a pretzel with them at half time, but no picture of them - I didn't even think of it!
It got really quiet once we were ahead by a couple of touchdowns, which was awesome because we could actually hear the Illinois fans (including ourselves) cheering:)
There are some really great things about relocating, my favorite would be discovering new places and fun things to do as well as cheering for the Illini!
Find something to be happy about today and have a fabulous day!

| Sometimes change seems like an interruption of our routine and schedule, but as the season changes from Summer to Fall, it seems like it should be a good thing. Yes, it is time to get out the sweaters and jackets, aquire a winter coat, find the hats and scarves and gloves...we are even starting to think about christmas shopping and the Holidays (too soon!), and drinking more frufru coffee and chocolate drinks to get ready! There are all these little happenings in the changing of the seasons that just sort of start to happen, and then there are changes that we decide upon and make them happen....spend less $, communicate better, eat better, keep in touch with friends, be more caring, be less of a complainer, lose 10lbs., do something for someone, and so on.
The coffee this morning tasted extra good, thanks sweetie! I have to say, being married is wonderful, my husband makes sure I am always caffeinated!

| I have made a lot of changes recently. And a lot of changes have been made for me :) Those being the larger ones, such as I now reside in Michigan, and I am married, and I do not currently have a job. I've been married for one month and 5 days, hardly any time at all, but it seems like it's been forever. In the past month i've been reading, listening to audio books, taking vitamins, clearing clutter and simplifying, making new friends, cooking, watching TLC, cleaning the house, going to a new church and more. Some of these were already part of my life, but some I have increased the time or the passion in which I do them. I think change can be a difficult time for anyone. I know for me, I have to watch my attitude so closely, it's easy to let emotions take over, or even feel entitled to crabbiness or complaining because of "all you've been through". I am really grateful for everything. Change will do that, it will make you evaluate what you have and help you realize how through so much change, there are constants in life, and there are so many blessings.
Throughout all the changes I really am enjoying myself and I am really happy. I know this is because of God's presence, which at certain times I will take for granted because there are no major changes making me question everything. It's a strange place to be - looking back on the memories, people, experiences and routines that you just left behind, and then looking forward where EVERYTHING is unkown. It's like you're right in the middle and all you know is that it's all changing. Hmm, I wonder how I'll describe my life in 6 months? A year?
"For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6
