I love...

I love this time of year! I love seeing the commercials on t.v. of the troops wishing their family a Merry Christmas, hate they can't be with them but love that they still say Christmas and not "Happy Holidays". I love how Wal-Mart's parking lot is absolutly crazy busy b/c everyone is rushing around to get their presents. I love wearing a scarf and mittens. I love cookies and hot chocolate with friends. I love Christmas carols. I love family and the anticipation of knowing what I bought them and can't wait for them to open them. I love when people say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. I love my church family. I love my puppies that cuddle even more b/c it's cold outside. I love my husband more every day b/c the man he is!

Wow!!

Well, I will update you all on everything that has happened in the past week.
All our our family got in safely last Wednesday night for Thanksgiving! Praise the Lord that my Dad didn't end up in the hospital after his chemo like he normally does.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I truly believe that I could have fed 20 more people and still had left overs! We had so much stinkin' food!
We got up and went shopping on Black Friday! That was great fun!
The pastor and his wife, Brandon, and I had to drive to Springfield to attend a pastoral Christmas dinner on Monday.
We drive down Monday, check into the hotel, get dressed and drive down to the church the dinner is to be at and not a soul in sight!!! We were a week early! The dinner is next Monday!!! Isn't that hilarious!!!
So we go to Cheddar's and laugh about having 2 days off.
Then we go to my parents apt to visit for a little while and I landed in the Emergency Room!!!
I found out I have Kidney Stones...dang they hurt!!!
Thankfully I passed 2 of them today and so hopefully that is all there is. Now I need to go see a urologist some time.
I can't wait to get my Christmas stuff up! I wold normally have it up already but it's been a little crazy the past few days so hopefully this weekend we will have a Christmas filled weekend!!!
