Hello, my name is Becky and I'm terrible at blogging regularly....

So, life in PA is.....well, at times it just is. However, today has been a busy and fun day. I should sleep very well.

My day started by waking up and madly cleaning the house before John's parents came over. I am not the housekeeper my sisters are, so there is usually a lot of clutter. Not dirty, just clutter. So, John and I got busy for about thirty minutes and got things picked up. Then, I drove to Greensburg, about an hour away, to pick up a Christmas musical for the kids at church. I am really excited about doing this. I've never directed a musical on my own, so this should be interesting. But, I think it will be fun and the kids will enjoy it....and I love Christmas, so its right up my alley. :-)

John's parents got here a little before noon. We had decided to eat lunch out, but have dinner in.....but we needed to go to the grocery store. So, we all headed to the grocery store to get food to put in the crock pot. I made beef stoganoff...it turned out really good! Anyhow, we finally got to eat lunch and then headed to the homecoming football game for IUP. Now mind you, this is not the kind of college football game that I am accustomed to. No huge stadium......no $70 tickets....no walking for miles from somebodies muddy yard to see your favorite team play. It was actually a BEAUTIFUL day, we parked in a parking lot that wasn't a bad walk from the stadium....and our tickets were $13. Life is so unfair....

It ended up being a really good game. IUP tied it in the last minute of regulation to take it to overtime and won in double overtime with an interception on the final play. Quite exciting! I was just laughing because John was yelling for all he was worth on one side of me, and Phyllis was jumping up and down on the other side of me. It was humorous. :-) But, we did have a great time.....and came back for yummy beef stroganoff and chocolate fondue!

Now, I am trying to get things ready for tomorrow's children's choir practice. I have scheduled try outs for parts for Wednesday night....I think I might be a little out of my head to attempt to do this in two and a half months time.

And John.....is waiting not-so-patiently for the Nebraska/Missouri game to come on. :-) Okay, its on now.....life can go on.....
