Life here on Earth has it's ups and downs

Well, K had two interviews last week.  One of the stores sent her an rejection email (that was the one she wanted to work for), the other one gave her a conditional offer.  This week she has to go to a clinic that does drug tests.  Since K is a minor, I have to go with.  It seems weird to me that my daughter has to be tested for drugs.  I can understand someone like my oldest and of course me.

M's boyfriend had three interviews with the same company.  He has not heard back from them.  The company is trying to work out a lease for a building.  He does have a small paying co-editor job for a website magazine company.  That is a step in the direction of a sports writing career.

I am so grateful for all God has done for us, yet there is still more.

Over the weekend, K got her senior pictures taken.  We brought the horse up to the company's place.  Our horse wasn't thrilled about posing.  She wanted to eat their grass and visit their horses.  It was beautiful day especially after the rain the day before.  Since we have warm weather and little rain, the leaves were either brown or their usual color.  They say that Minnesota is two weeks behind in the leaves changing color.  Oh well, hopefully the pictures will still be great.

Here is a picture of them during the session.  The place was beautiful so much I wanted to buy it from then and bring my horse there.  We obviously won't until K has finished high school, had the open house and she is at college.  We won't need this big house that we are in now.  Every time K and I talk about it to my husband, he says something to crash that dream.  I don't know why he does that since he does all the time.  I quite having goals and dreaming years ago.  Life has always given me the unexpected.  I have had to in an instant change my plans.  I live day by day.  The goals I had had to be put on the back burner.  My dreams never came to.  Now, I just live each day as is.  W hates that I don't do this.  So now that I have one, he tells me we will never be able to afford our own property, or we won't find a house layout that he likes.

We are now on to looking at colleges for K.  We just need to find a time where we can spend more than a few minutes looking.

How is everyone's else Autumn going?  I hope that is full of fun, adventure and new experiences.  I love this season with the leaves changing then dropping so we can make big piles.  I love the cooler temperatures and wearing new clothes.  The boots that are in style along with cozy sweaters.  It is time to make apple crisp and pie.  Enjoy this season everyone!!!!!
