Getting ready for our trip to IN

Today has been spent preparing to go back to Indiana for Nick and Kylie's wedding. (I wonder if she has the nervous poops yet? I always get them before big events! TMI, I'm sure!) We have been busy in the kitchen baking dog treats for all of the family's pets. I got the cutest chinese take-out containers to put the treats in. Thank you, Container Store. I love you so much! We also made some chocolate chip with pecans cookies to take to Duckie. He likes my cookies. I had to do a trial run on baking here at the high altitude so we have 2 batches. Oops! :) I think I have got it down now.

Jackson hit the links today and shot an 83. Not too bad for a kid who didn't play much this summer and had never played the course from today. They say the ball goes 10% further here and Jackson believes it. He was hitting 330+ yards drives today! Whew! I guess that means mine would got about 60. Susie shot a 46 the other day for 9 holes- a personal best. Great job, Susie!

MacKenzie has made a new friend in the neighborhood, Lucky. He is the ugliest dog ever, but his owner asked Mac to come out and play today so she did. She loves it! (She still misses Gunner Porterfield and wanted to make sure that I told him that!) She needs a haircut so badly. Jackson is taking her to the little dog bakery in Parker to see if they know of any good groomers or vets. We need both for little MacKenzie. She has finally adjusted to the altitude- we think. She seems to be more ready to play than ever!

Tomorrow my office will be a ghost town with most everyone using their vacation time to go play. I don't get vacation for 6 months! BAH!!! Not that I have time with school starting, but I HATE being told "no" (Deb, Guy and Jackson will attest to that!). I did get approved to get my knee fixed in late October so that's good news. I had to wait for all of the tax returns on extension to be completed. We're coming in to crunch time- sort of.

Jackson's new territory is the Los Angeles area so we're pretty excited to have to make trips out that way. (And see Meggles!!!!!) He'll find out soon when his first trip is-yippee!

Susie had to go have a new faucet installed at the Noblesville house. So far that has been our only issue with the rentals. Thank you, Jesus- you are very faithful to us! Susie is our "property manager" of sorts. She helps us out a tremendous amount and we really, really appreciate it. Now if I could just get that silly house refinanaced all would be well. It is always something...

That's all for now. I have to finish my cookies. :)
