We love our cats more each day. Sometimes Matthew and I stand and watch them for a few minutes with big smiles on our faces and our hearts warm.
Over Thanksgiving break I wanted to get out of the house. There was an ISU women's basketball game and Grandma was even available. Can't go to CY Stephens it seems without getting a Cy-Clone or 2:)
One night a week this month was spent at Nevada Middle School gymnasium cheering on the 7th grade girls basketball team. It has been a great experience! Lanie has SCL staff for practice and Miss Dodd helps make sure Lanie gets to practice and is ready for games. She attends home games only and no practice on Wednesday because of Childserve therapy. I think it started out a little rough, but as the season progressed, Lanie has built relationships with the girls and there is so much empathy and friendship on that team it is heart-warming. It is EXACTLY how I always dreamed it would be. We are SO blessed for the patience and kindness of the coaches, parents, and teammates. Lanie comes home VERY tired from practice and goes to bed around 8pm those nights:) At games Lanie gets to play about the last 2 minutes of every quarter in the B game. We are absolutely grateful for this opportunity! I never thought they'd allow her even that amount of time! There IS goodness in this world!
I was able to go hiking for Tanya's birthday again this year. It was a beautiful day and then we went out to eat at The Cafe for a great breakfast and more time together:) I am SO thankful for these times with friends!
After a pretty rough Thanksgiving meal at Mom and Dad's, Jeremy came over and we went out to relax. We all got to enjoy some drinks and play some pool and catch up on each other's lives at the new bar in town; Lincoln Tap. . . and George's. Matthew had been trying No-Shave November and had made it almost all month. I think he shaved it ALL away the next day:)
