Just a few Halloween pictures from today at work!

Paige Family II

All is well here in Mahaska. Fall and the cold weather is here to stay. We are busy with work, struggling like everyone else in the country. Our two beautiful girls keep us busy enough for us not to worry, they are the light in our lives. We miss everyone and wish you could share more time with us, especially watching the girls grow. We had a wonderful time in Disneyworld, Annika is in dance class learning jazz, ballet, and tap and loving every minute of it. She has a big recital in March. Kenzie is tougher than tough, she has gotten a lot of bumps and bruises from falling, but she just keeps going. She likes to head butt and pinch her big sister which is a no no. Annika still loves her. Angie and I are doing well, just working and trying to keep up with the girls. We have no plans for the holidays, just staying around Mahaska for now. Glad to know everyone is doing well. Love you all. Here are some pictures. More to come. Oh, we also got the girls a new puppy, his name is Joe Joe The Tank, he is a Havenese, very very cute. Kenzie is holding him in one of these pics.

Update

Hello family! Mom, your post was wonderful! I miss you very much, but know that where ever I am, your prayers and love still warm my heart every day. I'm so excited for the election and encouraging everyone I know to go to poles this November 4th. Regardless of their vote, I agree, that especially the younger generation need to voice their choice for this country. So important now more than ever during our economy's decline. So thanks Mom and Jenna for your posts. Great words.

I'm working hard at the office and at the haunt.
I'm working at a hostess in front of the Wrath, and interactive theatre haunted house in Mesa, AZ. I was hired on as a makeup artist and actress. You can see some of the makeup I designed in the picture. Lots of latex to create cuts, gashes, boils and deformities! Yuck! I was on the channel 15 news this morning at 5:30 and 6:30 for a brief interview about the haunt. We've had over 7000 people come and enjoy the spooks and we only expect more. I'm suprised that even in our current situation we still see a mass of people spending money on entertainment. However, the Romans in history, during hard economic times, always saw more patrons enjoying the arts and theatre. They believed entertainment and the arts provided an escape from the worries of every day. That's what I love about the arts. Regardless, people want to be entertained.

Grand Canyon Films is moving forward with two documentaries and another film. I'm excited to share that I proposed my own idea for a documentary and my bosses are behind me completely as producers of the film. Depending on where we are, I could start shooting as early as next March! More on that later.

And....I'm dating! I'm currently dating a fireman/medic who is training to be medic on SWAT....hunky! At least I'm excited about it :)

I miss you all so very much and wish I could see you more. Crissy works so much, I hardly see her and I get kind of lonely down here all by myself. The temp has changed from the 100s to as low as 70* and I find myself in sweaters. I can't believe I'm such a sissy!

Love you all soo soo much!

To all Our Children: We miss you and love you lots!!! We have had such a beautiful Autumn here in Mohall and North, North Dakota. My flowers have not yet froze, even though the temps have dropped into the 20's. We have been working alot, and watching those among us travel to New Mexico and Arizonia for the winter. We miss the people that do the exiting, it shrinks our town of friends and family and business and income. We have had many discussions around the table about the trauma that has come to our country. We pray that we have encouraged you all to be responsible and vote, even though you might be angry with the system. We so appreciated Jen's little ad video about voting. I know you will all make decisions based on COMMON SENSE.

A couple of months ago we were all so overwhelmed with the Olympic Games. The athlete fervently running, torch in hand, held high over head, followed by thousands of the most skilled athletes in the world. Exciting, wasn't it??We watched with millions to see the athletes' performances. To us here at home we watched each evening and were intrigued by these incredile humans. We were drawn with passion to see our America Flag and our anthemn played to receive Medals. For those men and women ( and me too)they were consumed with PASSION. Let that PASSION be contagious to you as you make your mark in the most important election in this decade. I will not tell you how to vote, but vote you must. "Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the ONe who is leading." (Oswald Chambers) Thanks! Love MOM
