Seven on Sundays (well this week it is on Wednesday)

 1.  Well this was an eventful week.  Halloween was on Thursday and myself, Karen, and Michelle dressed up as Minions at school.  Then I did a quick costume change after school into our marathon costumes.

We dressed up as marathon runners this year for Halloween

Happy Halloween :)

Nathan accompanied Breslin door to door Trick or Treating

2.  We flew to Michigan on Friday because we had a "Buy Back Day," but no teaching.  So we took the day off so we could fly to Michigan and spend more than 36 hours in town.,... or so we thought.  Then this happened: Shooting at LAX.  Our flight was supposed to leave at 1:30... But when we got down to LAX around 11:30 the airport was shut down.  No one was let in, no one was allowed out.  So we found the nearest Playplace and spent 2 hours there.  Finally around 1:30 I told Brady that we should just try to head over and find a parking spot and figure out how to get to LAX because now our flight was supposed to depart at 4:15.  We drove around for a good hour (and Brez man fell asleep) until we found a spot to park.  We then just sat in the parking lot, because still nothing was allowed in.  Finally at around 3:30 we started walking to the airport with hundreds of other people.  At 4:00 they finally opened the doors.  We got through security and sprinted to our flight, just to find out that they needed a new crew to work our flight.  Finally at 6:30 our 757 (which normally seats some around 250 people) was flying to Detroit with 30 people in tow.  We got to Detroit safe and sound... 5 hours late, our luggage didn't quite make it in time, but that's okay.  Through the whole ordeal Delta was absolutely wonderful.  They certainly get an A in customer service, and solidify the fact that I am frequent flyer of the airline!

3.  Tailgating, Sparty, and football!  So we made it back for the football game!  Breslin got to meet Rachel and Rachel along with Sparty!  (He absolutely loved Sparty by the way)!  And then met Jeff and Lisa King for the first time.  Our Breslin man is a huge trooper going on these crazy Spartan adventures with us.

 4.  And the Spartans did it!  Michigan State beat Michigan 29-6, in one of the most lopsided victories for Michigan State versus Michigan in most recent memory!  It was rainy, wet, and cold-- and absolutely perfect for a day filled with tailgating and football!

 5.  On Sunday we just spent the day traveling around campus and hooking up with people.

 6.  Got to hang out with some great people over the weekend.  Met up with Anna and Teagan, Mel, Jeff and Lisa, Kathie, Rachel and Rachel, and Aunt Joyce.  These trips are so much fun, but they are always too quick.  I am looking forward to the next time we go back and hanging out for awhile!

7.  And the whirlwind of October is over.  The first weekend in October we headed off to Michigan for the MSU/IU Homecoming game.  The following weekend I had my Jason Aldean and Jake Owen concert.  Then I had my 1 hour and 55 minute half marathon the next weekend.  And we capped off the busy month of October (first few days of November) in Michigan.  Phew... it was fun, but it will be nice to relax a little bit.
