After the Changing of the Colors Rally, we had a very exciting week with all of our CMA friends and leaders from the countries that make up CMA International. Translation: A week of meetings. But it was very good to hang with some old friends, mainly Ramon and Natalie Changuion from South Africa. We were able to make some new friends as well and also greatly enjoyed having Judy here at the house with us.
From that week, we headed straight into preparations for the Fastlane Rally, Carving the Ouachitas IV. This is a great event that features mainly incredible riding. I learned alot in the off-road riding school for two days and then enjoyed riding the KLR. I also spent Saturday in Wolf Pen Gap on an ATV. All in all a very cool weekend and we also had some time to spend with some friends and that is always great. In the middle of all that was halloween. And the kids really had some fun, we did some trick or treating and had a good time.
One thing that I always look so forward to is spending a week on sabbatical in the beginning of November. I have been very blessed to be able to do this for the past few years. It is always such an important time. This year was no different, except that I spent my sabbatical at home with the kids and jen took off and spent the week alone, just relaxing and reflecting. By the weekend we were dying to see each other, but both of us really enjoyed our week.
Now fall is here, the leaves and weather have changed and we are working, going to school, hanging with friends, and getting prepped to head to Nashville next week for a conference.
