Busy!

This week is gone! Thank goodness! Ryan started Beet season last week, so he works through the night until 4am, and then wakes up to go to school at 9am. That isn't alot of sleep for my poor husband. So...yesterday I took it up myself to help him out - hehe, I shut off his alarm, well actually I didn't shut it off I just turned down the volume...alot. I'm glad he slept then till noon, and that was exactly what he needed. I'll be glad when beet season is over, he has another week to go. At least the beet pilers get closed down due to warm weather so he has been able to catch up on a few zzz's the last few days. Oh ya by the way "beet" season means sugar beets. It is a very big crop that needs to come off in two to three weeks (at the most) and hulled to a beet pile. Then the beets are hulled to the sugar company in either Crookston or Grand Forks. Its a big process around here, the roads get messy (full of mud), beets are on the road (in town anyway), and trucks are moving around the clock. Its kind of an exciting time of year. Also the truck drivers make really good money, that's why Ryan is doing it. I have to keep reminding myself of that:)

Emma and I are planning to go to Red Lake next week, so hope I can visit a few people while I"m there. My mother-in-law Becky is coming with me, she's looking forward to the drive up there, and maybe get alittle visiting in with some of the people that she's gotten to know there too. It should be fun. I get to finally meet this little nephew of mine. I can't wait!! He looks so cute on those pictures!

Today I had my second Dr's appointment, I finally got to hear our little one's heartbeat! How exciting, awww so cute already!!

Last week we also made our Christmas travel arrangements. Ryan and I are spending Christmas together in San Diego CA. We've been saving up for a graduation trip, and we're excited to go. Emma will stay with Grandma Becky (and get potty trained - hehe, just joking, its been our joke) Anyone else been there?? Any tips of where to visit, we're up for anything :) We are staying close to the beach so that will be fun. I can't wait :)

Well thanks for stopping in. HI to my friend Glenda, Iris, Rhonda, Jenni, Rachel, and whoever else reads this. I read all of your websites pretty regularily (almost everyday :) ) so if your wondering if someones reading it, I do, I'm just not very good at signing everyone's page, sorry, must work on that. Iris I thought I had read your site once I remember the pictures. Sure I would like to read what all your tribe has been up too. THanks everyone for the updates, it makes me feel a little closer to home, I really appreciate it!
