Today is a good day

Today is a good day.

• Last night I was able to make it to the pep-fest for the football team in Lancaster. The surprise guest, Dany Corey from WDAZ, made the trip from Grand Forks to film a portion of the festivities. Oh, and Dad got interviewed last night as well, so look for him on WDAZ news tonight at 6 and 10! There will be a segment on the football team, again. It was so fun. :)
• This morning I was forced to leave early in order to make it for my 8 AM class, but the hour and a half drive by myself was perfect. I love that time of the day where I can just sit there without any worries and relax. It's absolutely awesome.
• I made it through my first two classes flawlessly, and finished my test in my third class with ease. I love how confident I feel taking a test when I can easily hop from question to question because I know the answer right off the top of my head. It makes everything go so much nicer.
• Right now, I am looking forward to supper tonight at my grandparents house. I love spending time with them and it has been quite some time since we did it last. Lots of family and friends will join us too, I'm sure, as tomorrow is a big day for many!
• Tomorrow marks the beginning of deer season! Yay. I'm weird, I know. I like God, sports, hunting, baking, cooking, exercising, reading, blogging, small towns, etc. Whatever. ;) However, it will probably need to get pushed back a day as we will be spending the day in Bemidji cheering on my brothers in the state quarter final game. I LOVE hunting, but to be quite honest, I had forgotten about it because of all the excitement happening with football. (Just to clarify, I don't mean the Vikings.) The boys are so excited and it makes me happy seeing them that way. Here's to a BIG win tomorrow!
• Soon, I get to go home for the long weekend. There's no better place to spend three days off from college is there?
• Which brings me to another thing....Veteran's Day is on Monday, so that means no college! Yay! More time for me to do other, more fun things. :)

Oh, and one more thing. It has absolutely nothing to do with my day going well, or even today in general, but I know he will be disappointed if I do not mention it. Last Thursday, Mark bought another gun. (What can I say? He loves them.) It is a black powder pistol so it takes a little extra TLC. He thought it would be fun if we shot a couple of the hand guns together to see how good of an aim we were. However, he forced me to load the black powder by myself. I guess he helped some. It was a struggle at first, but I was able to catch on after a little while. Like everything else we do, our "fun shooting" quickly turned into a contest. Neither one of us was able to hit the target, but I think that my bullet came closer than his. ;) It was fun, though.

Here's to hoping that you all have a simply marvelous day as well!
