Thanks Giving 8-13

It is the 28th!

Do I give you the whole spill about not being behind?

NO! Because we all know I'm behind.

I'm not even going to ask where the heck this month went. I'm not giving up there will be 23 Thanks on this blog by Wednesday night! before I post one Christmas post.

Here we go....

November 8th

I am thankful to have this opportunity to be in school. I love learning and I LOVE the feeling of accomplishment as I near the end. I'm a little older than I thought I would be when I graduated from college but I wouldn't change a thing.

November 9th

I don't know if I have ever mentioned how grateful I am to have a handy husband. He spent an entire day off of work, with no kids, no plans, PAINTING! Yes, my front room is now a beautiful shade of green that I LOVE, due to a very handy not to mention handsome hubby.

November 10th

Laughter! Not to long ago I posted about not remembering the last time I laughed so hard I cried. Well just the other night I laughed so hard I cried. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. I laughed so hard that my sides hurt. All thanks to my wonderful goofy family and my son's desire to have pigs in a blanket for dinner.

November 11th

Family. Yes, I know that is an obvious blessing but that is not the reason why I am grateful. I am grateful that my family makes me a better person. I am thankful that I learn as much from my children as they learn from me. I am grateful that I have their support and their love. Life would be pretty dang lonely without them. Also, I wouldn't be half the person I am today.

Trials. I know who in their right might is thankful for trials? However, I know that my trials have opened my eyes. They have pushed me out of my comfort zone and made life better. It is strange that we need trials to grow but we do. I would like to say I have gotten to the point that I embrace trials but I'm not quite there. I am willing to admit that the glass is not half empty or half full. The glass is all full just half of it is water and half of it air.

November 13th

I am grateful for my oldest monster S. She is an awesome kid and I am so blessed to have her as a daughter. Today, (November 13th) she was awarded her Young Women Medallion. She has worked very hard this year to complete all of the requirements. We even ended up having a race to see who finished the Book of Mormon first. I was in the lead for a long time and then she pulled ahead and finished before me. It was an experience I will always remember.

I have ten more thanks to go. December 1st is just a step away. Our Christmas tree is up. The lights are hung and the crunch of Christmas has began.

I love this crazy time of year.

Happy Cyber Monday Everyone

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
