Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to take a minute and wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! I have so much to be thankful for and am very blessed! Have a great weekend and have fun with your families and friends!

I am now married to Mr. Clean!

We had such a great weekend! Friday night Calleigh stayed with Andrew's mom. That night, we decided to cut Andrew's hair. I have been cutting Andrew's hair for a long time now. We invested in some clippers and now you can add hair cutting master do my list......or maybe not!!

We dropped Calleigh off with his mom and we came back home. We got out the clippers and Andrew setup a stool and got everything ready, or so I thought. He told me he was ready and we went out in the garage together. We were talking about our plans for the next day and Christmas and such. Andrew sat down, we kept talking, I grabbed the clippers and did my first swipe at his hair. WHOOPS! Little did I know that he did not put the guard on the clippers, he thought I would see it and put it on there. I was so into our conversation when he said he had set it all up and was ready, I thought he meant COMPLETELY ready, which he was not.......so, now, his hair is gone. There was no fixing or turning back at this point. We both laughed hysterically until we were crying and not breathing and I was one of the greatest moments. I will never, and I mean never, forget that night and that moment. After that we were talking about how great it is to be married to your best friend and how when things like that happen we don't get mad at each other, we just laugh. And that was one more reminder for me why I married him. He did not get mad at me when I messed up his hair, and even though I felt horrible,we laughed. It makes me smile to know that when we are old, we will still look back on this occasion and laugh just like we did that night. I am truly blessed to have married my very best friend.

The rest of our weekend was great too! Andrew killed a 9-point buck on opening morning of gun season. He was so excited and secretly I was too! I love the look on his face and the excitement in his voice when he finally kills a deer. Plus, he still hunts, but he is home more now that the buck is out of the way! He will still go out and kill a few does, but I am ok with that! We do use it just like we do hamburger and it saves us money and is healthier than other meats.

I had a jewelry meeting on Saturday morning. For those of you who do not know I am now selling Premier Designs Jewelry to make some extra cash! If anyone wants to have a party or place an individual order please contact me! You can earn lots of FREE jewelry!!!!!

Saturday night we were off to Huntingburg after Andrew's cousin Zeth also killed a buck. On Sunday we slept in a little and did some things around the house. The big highlight for us was that night, when the Colts beat the Patriots 35-34!!!!!!!

We have a busy week ahead with Thanksgiving just around the corner. We have family coming in staying at our house, so I have a lot of cleaning and buying to do!!!!

Hope you are having a great week!

"Trick the Halls"

Calleigh gets to go Trick or Treating three times this year. Last night she went to "Trick the Halls" at Oakland City University(which is where I work) and went to the dorms which were decorated for Halloween and the kids all handed out candy that was donated from area businesses. Here is a collage that I made from last night.

Three Day Weekend and blessings

Well, today is my last day of work for the week! It has been a good week for our family. We have had so much time together. On Monday and Tuesday nights Andrew was home with us all night. We had supper as a family and then spent time playing with Calleigh and watched TV together. Last night Andrew went hunting but afterwards we went and had Chinese for supper, which was such a good decision. It was late and I did not have to cook and we ate one of my favorite foods.

The heater in my equinox is having a slight malfunction and our friend Trent is going to look at it on Saturday and fix it. He is pretty sure that he can fix it for around $50.00 and I am excited that it does not cost a whole lot! We are seeing the blessings of our new heater in our home as it has been cold here for the past couple of weeks. It is nice to wake up in the middle of the night and not have to worry about if we are close to running out of heating oil. We know that as long as we have electricity we have heat! And if we don't have electricity then we have a fireplace that will work! God has also blessed us with two unexpected things just his week. The first is that since we have tomorrow off we planned to go to the eye doctor. Knowing that my glasses usually run about $400.00 and Andrew will need new reading glasses I have saved back about $650.00. As I was checking to see how my new insurance works and would cover us tomorrow I was told that it would be just $40.00 a person, making our bill only $80.00! So, I can use the extra money for Christmas! What a blessing! I am so thankful for the little things that God is doing in our lives, it is such a blessing that we did not expect but are very appreciative for it!

You can do us a favor and keep us in your prayers. Andrew is going to school to be a principal, however a new opportunity has come up for us and we are excited and anxious about it. I would love to give you more details, but until we know that final outcome, we are keeping it to ourselves. We know that God has a plan for us and we also know how strong and wonderful the power of prayer is so we ask that you say a prayer for us. God knows our needs and we know his plan for our life is laid out already. We pray that his will be done in our lives and when he calls, we answer. So simple, yet so hard. We have faith in him and trust all decisions he makes for us. No matter what happens, God is good, God is there, and he loves us, just as we do him!

I pray that you all have a blessed weekend as we plan on doing. Tomorrow holds a eye appointment for Andrew and I and a 18 month well baby check-up for Calleigh. Saturday we have plans to just spend time together. Andrew is going to hunt in the morning and I am going to spend time with my sweet daughter. We are planning on getting the basement all cleaned up and having a nice night together. Sunday we have church and then a baptism for Andrew's step-niece, Aubry. I am ready for this much needed break! Have a great weekend!
