flat tires and family life

Saturday morning Mike decided that we were due for a trip home. I enjoy trips home, they make me smile, but they always make me want to stay longer! So, we packed up like we were in a race and made our way to the boot.

October brings about some great things in our life - birthdays and football, both of which we thoroughly enjoy! Our quick trip home involved both of these enjoyments. NSU played some unknown team from Arkansas, whom they were supposed to easily whoop.

Too bad it didn't happen that way. It was a pretty pitiful display of athleticism on NSU's part. Thumbs up to the unknown Arkansas team, even though they didn't pull out a victory. At least we were able to come in for a home game. We also celebrated Mike's birthday (10/11), Mike's dad's birthday (10/1), and my mom's birthday (10/22). My dad and brother weren't able to join us for our birthday lunch, so we'll have to do it again. No complaints from me!

On to flat tires...
As we were driving away from the Seminary on Tuesday evening, we heard this awful sound coming from the rear of the car. We both knew it had to be a flat tire. We pulled over and sure enough - flat! El Cheap-o tires did it again. We'll have to go quality over quantity next time. So, we have to buy a new tire - I think.

Another day, another dollar...
