My yard has been chosen one of the 'Yard of the Month' winners. I have wanted this little neighborhood award for a while so why am I not so excited? Because I am not sure when the judging was. My yard was a crazy beautiful mess a month ago, and each week I have been yanking out more and more plants in preparation for winter. Just to make the space look not so dead I added a few mums and decorations:
Pretty stuff, but also pretty boring if you ask me. So I won when my garden was big and wild or did I win once I 'conformed' to the military neat and orderly? I just don't know. However, a win is a win, and I will gladly accept my winning gift card! 
Another win this month was my very first running award. First place female! However, it was a 'beer run' where the other competitors and I had to drink a beer each mile for a total of 3 miles. Did I win because of my new found speed or from other people's lack of drinking abilities? Again, I am still very happy with my win, and there is no way you can take my very first winning trophy away from me!
And the last 'win'? Costume contest with the beer run. That one I am proud of. It was a hot day, and I ran my heart out in that sweaty costume.
So, all in all I am happy to be achieving a few things, and I am just going to work harder to get 'real' wins in the future.

Hey Sis,
Way to go on winning yard of the month, it sounds like less is more.
Also way to win a beer drinking contest?!? maybe you can win a race where not everyone is drunk. Good job anyway!! Hope that You, Brandon and the Kidos are doing good.
Love Steve
