3 Cups and a sad day in the Good Life.....

The other day my mom and I went to see Greg Mortenson (the author of 3 Cups of Tea) speak at the State Theater...it was a very inspiring presentation, as many of you can imagine if you have read the book.
He gave us interesting parting words....an ancient Persian proverb.... "Only when it is dark can you really see the stars".
That has never meant more to me than it does today. It is my last day working with my current employer. On to bigger and better things..but has a result of the economy they had to let me go. So it has been a sad couple days in "the good life"....but needless to say I will bounce back! And will move on to the next adventure..when one door closes another opens!

MSU vs. ND tailgate.................

This past weekend Brian & I kicked off MSU Football season with a tailgate for the MSU vs. ND game!
Our ND friends came in town: newlyweds Libby & Jeremy Pearson and Shannon & Kevin too!
Libby and I started the game in the very top row..nose bleed section
It was a white out.....
Then we moved down to sit with them...to make sure Jeremy and Brian weren't getting in any trouble!!
Brian & I....

group photos...Libby, Jeremy and us..a little divided in school spirit! The MSU family..Brian & I and Shannon & Kevin
One of the best parts of the day was finding this LARGE can of Rotel for Libby!! She was in HEAVEN to say the least..and they also had samples of course!!
And last but not least..Brian's new MSU foam finger!! it is great!!!
