Win and we're in

Tonight we play Georgetown at their stadium. We are currently tied for 3rd place with 4 teams. If we beat Georgetown, we go to the playoffs. If we lose, we're out. It will be a really tough game, but I am so hoping that we can make it to the playoffs this year.

We're still loving our new house and neighborhood. The kids have a lot of friends to play with and it is such a nice area. The next big step is to get rid of our gas-guzzling van and buy a mini-van in February. That will really help our gas bill a lot.

Not much else going on right now. Caleb had his first band concert last week and did a great job. It was nice to go to a concert that only lasted a total of 45 minutes for 3 bands! We all went out to eat at Taco Cabana after the concert to celebrate.

The dogs are officially gone for good, so we are now dog-less for the first time in years. I miss them, but it will be nice to finally have the backyard back, without worrying about them tearing things up back there. Jonah really wants to get a new dog--specifically a yellow lab.

The election was on Tuesday and I'm neither excited nor disappointed by the results. I just hope that we can take notice in America that the 2-party system we have now just doesn't work anymore. I'd really like to see the growth of other parties to provide more selection of candidates. I am hopeful for some kind of change, however, as someone needs to step up and let the current government know that we cannot operate our country on credit anymore.
