A time to be Thankful

I am so blessed and so greatful for all that I have. I have a wonderful husband that will do anything for me and is so good and kind to me. He is the light of my world.

I have 6 wonderful kids that have always been the most important thing in my life. I love all of you so much and am so greatful to be your Mom.

I have 3 son-in-laws and 3 daughter-in-laws that mean the world to me. We are so thankful to have you in the family and for the good spouses that you are to my children.

I have 10 beautiful, smart, loving,full of life grandkids that I adore. They are so awesome and probably the best kids in the world.

I have super parents that I love with all of my heart and 10 brothers and sisters that are great also.

I was raised in a home with the gospel in my life and for that I am truly blessed.

I have good friends and neighbors.

I have a nice home with heat and running water and a home that can be filled with lots of family and laughter and its okay if its not spotless.

I have a car, a job, food on the table, and everything that I need.

I am THANKFUL!!!!! I hope you realize how much you have also and take time to reflect on all of it. Happy Turkey Day!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

I hope everyone has a very Happy Turkey Day!!
Don't stuff yourself too much so you will be ready to run on Black Friday!

A Few Updates

The bedroom is finished and looks really nice. All the Christmas decorations are up in the house. John still has to do the outside, but he says he is not doing too much this year. We shall see. He loves lights as much as I do. We are preparing for Thanksgiving. Jaimie and Trever are having it at their house this year. It will be way fun. We are already checking the ads for Black Friday and getting excited to hit the stores early. I don't have much to shop for, but I am going to go to have the experience and to help tend Taylie. Everyone is happy, healthy, and excited to share the holidays. I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and don't eat too much. Ha Ha!
Oh, also we are having an Open House at the Floral Shoppe this coming Friday and Saturday. The shop is looking really nice. We have painted, new carpet, tiled the floor and a ton of new merchandise. Come and see us even if only for the refreshments.

Winter Is Coming

These past five days I have had off from work. So, we decided to get a lot done at our house. John totally cleaned my formal living room from top to bottom on Saturday while I was playing at a Christmas party and shopping. We shampooed the carpets too. Then, the last 2 days I have been putting up my Christmas tree and decorating my house for Christmas. I won't turn any lights on yet, but I have to work alot the next 2 weeks and so I figured, let's get it done. I like to have it done by Thanksgiving and so it is! Yeah! Also, David helped John tear the old carpet out of his room and John painted the walls last night. He should finish all of it tonight or tomorrow. He is texturing the ceiling and painting the whole room. We are then having new carpet put in the first of next week. It will be so nice and Heather will get to be the first to sleep in there when they come for Thanksgiving. I said I feel like a new woman having all of this done, and I appreciate all the time and work that John is helping me with it. Thanks honey!
While all of you are busy getting your Christmas stuff up, I will be sitting listening to Christmas music, reading a Christmas story, or just enjoying a cold drink and watching it snow. Ha! Ha! Just kidding. Good luck with everything. Love you all!
