Here are some of the things we have done lately... After my birthday at the beginning of October, we went to an IU football game...they lost...:( It was a fun experience though. We went to our nephew's flag football game. It was pretty cute. :) Carl and I took two of my Junior Church kids to Toys R Us and McDonald's one Saturday. It was a special prize for learning memory verses. We went to my Grandma's annual bonfire and hayride. I always love going to that. It is one of my favorite things about Fall. We went to a Booth Brothers concert in Bluffton, IN. We love the Booth Brothers. We made a quick trip to Brown County State Park. This was the last Saturday in October, so a lot of the leaves were already off the trees. There were still some beautiful places down there though. Life is busy...sometimes too busy. I have to constantly remind myself to take time for the important things in life, and not to worry about the small stuff. Easier said than done someti...

Thursday Thoughts

Just some random thoughts for the evening. * I am so proud of myself. I folded some fitted sheets tonight and they didn't look like a disaster. They actually looked good...not as good as when you bring them home from the store, but a lot better than I usually fold them. I hate folding sheets, especially the fitted sheets. Anyone have a tips on folding them nicely? * I got my eyebrows threaded tonight after work. It has been a while since I have had them done. They look so much better now. They were getting a little (or a lot) out of control. * I have a strange obsession with my feet. I can't stand for anything to be touching my feet. I love pedicures...in fact one sounds heavenly right now, but I can't stand for some one's feet to be touching mine. I am always telling Carl "Don't touch my feet!" Anyone else have a weird thing like that going on? * I noticed today that some of my lilies from last year are starting to come up. No blooms yet, obviousl...

Yes, I am alive.

I am still alive, just extremely busy. But who isn't busy this time of year? Here's what I have been up to since Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving we went to my Grandma's house for dinner, and Mom and I went to a couple of stores before she took me home. Carl always has to work on Thanksgiving, so Mom and I try to get a little bit of a head start on Christmas gifts for our Sunday School kids. When Carl got home from work at 11:30pm, we headed down to Wal-Mart for their midnight specials. The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Carl and I went down to Monument Circle to walk around and take some pictures of the "World's Largest Christmas Tree." We love going downtown. Last Thursday (the 2nd) was the Senior Piano Recital for my cousin Jennifer. It was actually a co-recital for her and another student, Jalena. The girls did an outstanding job. They played 3 duets, and each one played several solo pieces. Saturday was our church Christmas Dinner....so much yummy food. We...
