It's up...

finally!
Always a long process when you have a new tree, ornaments, etc.
But like it...


This is my favorite ornament..


And this one...



Not wanting anything for Christmas, but I saw this...
And...
I am just thinking, if I had this I might would be able to stay focused
as long as I could "Breathe".....ha!


this is just to funny...

  I just haven't felt like updating..i have had alot of allergy/sinus issues this week

.... *day seven
I am especially  thankful for my work family
I work with the most amazing people EVER!

Brenda, Faye, Kaitlyn,KatieBeth, and Brandon.. not pictured is Debbie, Belva, and Jerry

I love them so much...
 and i think they love me...
or wait
... maybe it is just Karlie they love...
 uhm...
oh well .. they "act" like they love me.. so I will take that

We always do a Thankful Board the month of November

[

This year we also did a Thankful Ribbon,
[it is kinda small since we just started it .. but it is there nonetheless] and used it on our table decoration

well this finishes my Week of Thankfulness

one week isn't enough time to list all the things I am thankful for... there are soooooooooooo many

Happy Thanksgiving !

*day six

today i am thankful for this guy,
   God blessed us with our wonderful son 25 years ago today!
   i am so very thankful that he loves the Lord, and lives it!
  
   not happy that he is far away...
   and i don't get to see him often, and i miss the laughter he brings.
             [he is   ALWAYS doing something to make me laugh]
 
BUT thankful that he is doing just what God has lead him to do for now
  and that makes me very thankful for today's technology, which allows us     to talk / text/ etc. daily. [that makes the distance alittle easier!]

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY MATTHEW

WE LOVE YOU!

*day five

 ....all of our church family...[all are very very wonderful]

*day two
today i am thankful for our "Thankful Thursdays" at the office..
as some of you know we hold morning devotions at the office before we start our day, and this marks our Second Year of "Thankful Thursday"..
this morning we wrote on ribbon "1" thing we are especially thank for this year, and we decorated our table with it, and then use it again next year and reflect.

very fitting.. because we also had our Thanksgiving Feast today..yummy

having KatieBeth home and love that she also WORKS with me... i am sooooooooo blessed..
oh wait a min...maybe it is her that is "blessed".. ha

[well behaved dogs while clean is also very important- so i am also thankful for that too- other wise my house wouldn't have gotten cleaned- whewwwwwww]
  giving my sweet karlie a bath, as well as my sweet granddog ellie.
and finishing another mile run... [third one this week... "happy dance"]

week of "thankfulness"

and celebrating Emma's tenth birthday... 

we went to see TAYLOR SWIFT...

but first we saw this guy...



DANNY GOKEY.. man was i excited!



TAYLOR SWIFT...as you can see we had great seats

the concert was AMAZING to say the least!
    We had a great time
  Happy Birthday Emma!.. cant wait til the next concert... whooho!

Happy days

Today has been a really good day...
It started out with our Thankful Breakfast this morning with some great ladies..
It is always so good to remember all the great things our Heavenly Father has done...
 Is doing..
And will do in our lives...

He is so worthy of our Praise...
 let's just go ahead and Praise Him in advance for what he is gonna do,
          you know it"s gonna be good!




Moving on...
I went for a run (jog), I guess is the better word..
And I jogged my FIRST mile... Non-stop..
...and lived to tell about it... And write about it...
Soooo excited..
I did the happy dance
(that's what Karlie does after she "does her business"... If you know what i mean) ..
.. And I SHOUTED!



And just after I was thru with the shout / "happy dance"
My Dale called me saying this....

Dale: I did it....
I got 'em
Me: what?
Dale: I just shot 'em (with a bow of course)

Me: no way... And I just ran my first mile - non stop
This is a great day...
I will be there in a minute to help find it

So... In just a short time later
We found it...





Ahhhhh... Love good days...
