Quick update!

Rob is coming home tonight!!

Colts won last night...14-0!!  I had to go to bed and find out this morning.  Worked most of the day yesterday and I was exhausted. 

Snow is coming.  :)

Can't think of much else at the moment!  Have a great day.

They made it home ok last night, with only a little delay.  I guess the snow wasn't too bad in Milwaukee.  Still, he didn't home until about 1 or so. 

It's way cold here in Indiana!!  I came home and went out and picked up one of my chickens that was huddling by a bush and carried her out to the barn, calling another two to follow behind me.  The others were in the barn already being smart.  I don't think we better let them out next time the temps drop this much.  At least not let them out all day.  Now I need to get a extension plug so I can plug in their heated water bowl, since their water is frozen solid!  The eggs I picked up out there today also felt frozen.  They are laying pretty good now.  It feels like an easter egg hunt to go out there now, and see what they have left for me.  Can't remember if I wrote about the horses out there now too.  We are letting some friends board their horses.   There are three, a Welsh pony, and two mini-painted horses.  I might have already mentioned that but for what it's worth.  They are so cute and it's fun to look out and see them.  I still haven't really bonded with them yet so they are a little testy with me.  They like to get a little pushy.  :)

I worked today for about 4 hours then went to the store and some other things, then came home.  I meant to get a plug for the barn while I was out and I forgot.  So thinking maybe I should go get one.  Going to cook some spaghetti so Ed can have some dinner before he has to go to a meeting, poor guy.  I know he is exhausted.   I am working again tomorrow in the morning, then I will take back the rental car and pick up our van that was getting repaired.  Did I mention hitting a deer last week?  See, I get mixed up because I have talked about these things on facebook and forget if I've written it here.  I got my right front fender dented up some from this deer who ran in front of me from the side of the road.  I kept hoping he'd swerve and go back but he didn't. 

I got a lot done yesterday so now I feel better about getting out some of my decorations.  I'm not sure I'll get them all out, since we are leaving the day after Christmas to drive to Denver and visit Dan, Jamie and Eva!  Rob is flying home a week from tomorrow!  We haven't seen him since August.  Then Rob will drive out with us to Denver, and fly back from there to CA after New Years.  He is then going on a trip with a group from college to Belgium for a mission trip.
