Some pics from a busy October

I can't believe it is November! We had a lot of fun in October. Brant and I went to Las Vegas with friends. It is a very fun city with lots to see. Here is the view from our balcony at the luxurious Imperial Palace (ha!).

Although the mountains were pretty, a stage (with a band that played until 3am) was right below us so we moved rooms after one night. The casinos are amazing - here is a view of Paris from across the street and one of the Conservatory inside the Bellagio which was just amazing.

We went with several other couples and one afternoon the ladies had a fun time at Magaritaville.

Later in the month we headed up to Virginia Tech to watch them play Boston College in a monsoon. It really seemed like it was going to be an awesome night for us despite the weather.....but then there were the last four minutes of the ball game and we wound up as a bunch of drenched losers.....

The month ended with some Halloween fun. We waited until late to get the costumes done because no one could make a decision on what to be. The kids finally made some good choices as Supergirl and R2D2 (yes, it is a trash can and yes, now we need a new one in the upstairs room!). Cousin Cyrus should be impressed with Katie's duds since he loves to live in super hero clothes. We are still coming down from the sugar high from way too much candy.

There is not much to report on the cancer side of things. I am very healthy and only occasionally have a pain in my chest area. I will stop taking my antibiotic and antiviral drugs later this month and I am curious to see if my own immune system can keep me as healthy....especially as we enter cold and flu season.

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the fall (maybe we will get some cooler weather???) as we get ready for a fabulous holiday season.
