MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

No time for blogging...or anything else

Ugghhh... this time of year is so crazy! I am still trying to get the last bit of Christmas shopping done and still haven't even sent out my Christmas Cards. I am a disgrace!

Mom and Heather think I am scamming them and really coming home for Christmas. I wish that was the case, but unfortunetly it isn't! Love you guys and wish we could be there for Christmas!

Short but sweet tonight, gotta run and get things done! Sorry for the short boring blog! More to come later!

Saturday Night Sillyness

Love this time of year!

I love this time of year! One of the reasons why is because every night after a long day at work- I come home, run to the mailbox and right there sitting in the mail box is another Christmas card and PICTURE of one of my "nieces or nephews". I love, love, love that! I always pack them away in the decoration box each year, so I can compare from year to year how much they have changed! Never stop sending me the pictures! I am still working on getting mine out, so if they come after Christmas don't be surprised!

We are starting to both feel better. I am still taking my 2 Tylenol cold and flu pills nightly, but it is helping! Between the rain and sleet and snow, it is no wonder that everyone is sick here.

I had my post op. Dr.'s appt. on Monday, and Dr. Karon says that everything looked great and she says that we can resume trying to have a baby. Praise God. So, I am not going to stress about it, as I know that God is in control and that it is his timing anyway and it will all happen according to HIS will!

The kids in the youth group continue to be excited about the upcoming events we have planned. We are starting to see how God is working in their lives. What a wonderful God we serve!!!
I can't imagine life without him. We are gearing up for Bible Study that will start in Jan. Pray that God continues to reach the hearts and minds of our students. He has already worked on the heart of one of our girls, Kayla and she rededicated her life to him last Sunday! Praise God!

That is about it... Haven't even begun to shop for gifts yet. I guess I am behind. Oh well, that is not what CHRISTmas is about anyway!

The snow tubing pictures are in.....

We had a blast! Absolute safety, great fellowship and sooooo much fun! God is good!!!
More will be posted as soon as I get them off of my friend's digital camera!
What a great time we had. At one point we had 9 people linked together going down at one time! The kids had a great time and we got to know the kids better. Please pray for your kids as we learned first hand that sex, sex and sex are continuously on their brains. US:"Where do you want to stop to eat?" THEM: "How about Hooters". YIKES! So we know that we have a challenge ahead of us!
One of our girls rededicated her life to Christ this morning. I am so excited to see how God is working already in their lives.
Well, off to take a nappy nap. I am still feeling under the weather. Speaking of weather... It is snowing! I love that!

Don't ya just hate it when.....

You have a big trip planned and you come down with a really bad cold the day before!

Yes, it is true. I stayed home from work yesterday and felt terrible. I could not breath and felt all achey etc. So I drugged up, layed in bed, slept all day and went to bed early. No it is 3:22 A.M. and I am up taking more meds. and now I can't sleep from all the sleep I already got!

I have to be up in about 2 1/2 hours to get ready to go snow tubing. I suppose my jacket pockets will be full of cough drops and blistex. uggggghhhhhh

Don't you just love it when.....

You get a sweet little envelope in the mail and you open it and it is a coloring book page that your sweet little nephew colored on! Love that! Miss him!

You have been looking for a CD that is old as dirt but you loved every song on it and God blesses you by allowing it to be in the bargain CD section for $6.99- Heather- it was Michael English!!! Can you believe it!

You have a wonderful husband who cooks dinner when you are laying in bed with a pile of Kleenex surrounding you.

You feel truly blessed in your life and you wonder if it can get any better than this!


Well, I guess that I will try to mosey off to bed and catch the last few hours of sleep. I will post pictures from the tubing trip soon! Wish us luck AND safety!

Sorry it has been a while!
We too have been home not feeling well. I think there is a bug going around! Michael has been home 2 days from work.

Winter is officially here! Light snow flakes fell yesterday and it was 29 degrees! Cold, Cold, Cold!
I love this time of year. I am ready for the real snow to fall! Hopefully we will have a white Christmas!

We are taking the kids from our youth group on the snow tubing trip this weekend. We have 25 people going. It is going to be a great time!
Pray for safety and that we are a light to the lost kids that we know will be there!

Congratulations the the Wade and Janna! Can't wait to see a picture of Robert Thomas!

Church Directory picture time! Gotta love it!

Can't believe it is almost Christmas time. Sure doesn't feel like it. Soon it will be New years! Time sure flies!

What a difference a year makes!

Christmas is coming

Well, I think that tonight we might actually get out all the christmas decorations and the tree and decorate!
I am not so sure if we are going to be able to keep Mandie away from the tree, so I am a little hesitant to put it up.
I guess we can give it a whirl and see.
24 Days until Christmas!!!
