hi.

i don't have a lot of updates to share. because the mcquinn's are not currently up to much. we work a lot, but matt works more. we try to keep our house clean, but still manage to scramble or stay up entirely too late cleaning again every time we have a house showing. we try to keep our dog relatively happy. i think it is safe to say that she is happy. 

so in summary, house is still on the market, and mcquinn's still don't have the slightest where they are on to next or when they will go. 

so. I will share with you some past good times and some future ones.

Past

My last post was a happy birthday to my youngest (& only) sister. Although her birthday was on Monday and I was not with her, I did fly out to Tennessee the weekend before to surprise her. My brother Tyler picked me up from the airport and I managed to walk in behind him and "pop out" to surprise her. However, she had been calling me telling me she knew I would be coming but we all did our best to keep it a surprise until the very end.  Another very cool factor to the weekend was that I got to see lots of family. Grandpa and Grandma McGuire from Minnesota were visiting my parents and my Grandpa Clet and Uncle Troy came in on Saturday. The weekend went entirely too fast, but it was pretty special to be around so much loving family during such a special time. My siblings and I definitely had a good time and we are looking forward to the new legal status of all the schoenfelder children. Here are a few pictures of the weekend... 

Please note: I did a horrific job of documenting this weekend and I really think it was because we were having too much fun. I was around good company, eating good food, laughing, playing, and enjoying each moment. I just didn't want to be interrupted by the camera.

(this pretty much sums up my friday night. and saturday morning)



(she's 21. and adorable).

Future

Anxiously anticipating Saturday, November 20. Why, you ask? Well, for many reasons.

1. its the weekend

2. its Kathleen Schroeders birthday

3. and I get to spend it with her

Oh, and it gets even more exciting than that. 

I also get to spend my birthday in Chicago with two of my absolute best friends. 

I had taken the entire week off for thanksgiving months ago and then matt realized his schedule isn't what he thought it would be. So he suggested I take the time and spend it in Chicago ( i love that man). 

However, he still doesn't know what his thanksgiving schedule is. Doesn't know as in doesn't have a plane ticket or a plan about where to go. what to eat. nada. So at this point he could be joining me in chicago getting ready to head to Iowa to spend some quality time with the fam and meet that new adorable nephew or working and hopefully coming home to some interpretation of a thanksgiving feast. harsh. 
Update: Matt and I are both feeling thankful. He will be joining me and many lovely friends on wednesday in chicago and then we will head to our old stompin' grounds, Ankeny, Iowa to spend some time with family and meet that graham-cracker!


See ya in Chicago!
