Michelle & Nels

Nels is the greatest! The other day when we were watching a little tv after practice I decided that i wanted to put on a self heating mask and Nels actually did it with me, and wore a headband, and didn't fight a bit about it! Secretly I think he likes it. He feels pretty and likes an excuse to have a clean face. if anyone asks he can blame it on me. "i made him" or "I put a gun to his head until he did it." You know something lame. But he was great and I love him bunches.

Friday I dropped Nelsie off a Jamba Juice because he was close to home at one of his dealerships. When I got there I asked him what we were going to do because hey, it's the weekend you're supposed to do fun stuff. And Friday is the only day of the week he doesn't have football practice right after work. Normally I just ask him what we are going to do because I know he doesn't have anything in mind and doesn't really want to leave the house. He likes to come home from the long hard week of work and relax for the weekend. I on the other hand have worked maybe 15-20 hours that week and want badly to do something fun with him. So anyways when I asked him what we were going to do he without hesitation said "carving pumpkins." This thrilled me, because this is what I remember doing one monday out of the month of October with my dad and siblings(usually just Rebecca).
We drove to the pumpkin patch, parked, and then made our trek into the patch. Which was quite a walk!!! Whoever planned that must have been a man, because no woman would make you walk that far to get a pumpkin, and then have to walk all the way back carrying a huge bazillion pound pumpkin. We walked back to our car buckled the pumpkins in their rightful place in the back seat and headed home to perform surgery and pull out all their guts.
