Thanksgiving has past and Christmas is around the corner. "Christmas"? Did I just say Christmas? Oh my word I can't believe that time has come. Writing this just makes me so excited.

I love this time of year. I love buying gifts and I absolutly love winter. I love the idea of buddleing up to go play in the snow, of a cold winter weekend inside with sweats and a sweatshirt snuggled under a blakey watching a chick-flick. I also don't mind the excuse to hang with my family. Which by the way if your reading this please say a little prayer for my sister, she isn't feeling well

and said her stomach hurts really bad. We are praying that this has nothing to do with the life growing inside her. I will post something when all is well or we know what is going on.
Back to this time of year. I love the snow!!! It is sooo beautiful, I don't think there is anything that can match it than being able to see the beauty of God in heavan on day. The snow makes all that the earth that seems so filthy washed and made new again. I love it.
Well maybe when I am not on my phone I will type more up. I think it is time for bed. I hope everyone had a great Thankgiving.

Serving and Worshiping while I Wait.

So I opened my page and listened to my first song, and I remember how much I really love this song. It really does explain where I am in my life right now. It much more than being single and waiting for the husband that God might have for me. God has much more for my life, and I must continue while I am waiting for Him to come. He is my all in all, and I want to serve and worship Him while I wait, for His coming day. I don't want to miss an opportunity.


I finished my sisters baby showers, I enjoyed them. I really liked to see all the baby stuff, it was very new to us all. Amy said she had never been overwhelmed like that besides the time she opened her wedding gifts. It was precious to see all the gifts the women had so graciously given to her. God provides and and takes care of those who love and serve him.

This was from the shower the Church gave her.

This was from the shower that my mom and my sister put on.

THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME!!

Fall Equals Lots of Trips....and Arkalala

I can't believe it has been a little over 2 weeks since I have posted anything, but I have been really busy.


October 23rd I left town to visit my granma who lives near Nashville. She had just had bypass surgery which she currently is still recovering from and doing marvelous job with all her physical therapy. It was nice to get away for a weekend. I spent a lot of time with my grandfather. We went to church, went for walks even took the dogs to the dog park around the corner from his house. He really liked it too. He told me tons of stories while we were together. Near the end I decided that I would record him because I knew I would never be able to remember everything he said, so I pulled out my phone and started recording. =) I don't think he ever realized what was going on!!!



This last weekend Oct 31st, I went home for my home towns fall festival, Arkalala. There are tons of things I enjoy about this weekend. There is tons of rides (that I don't ride because I have gotten too old), great food (pancake feed saturday morning), a parade (that can be awesome and not so awesome, this year it was awesome), the bands night performance (which is really much better than it sounds, KState came and performed this year), and tons of friends and family getting together enjoying everything in fellowship. It really is a good time.

Speaking of fun time, I ran into one of my favorite friends. He is THE biggest cowboy you might ever meet. I sat and listened to him tell story after funny story for about 2 hours. He had me laughing my face was sore when he left. It was a great time.

I was also able to see Amy (my sisters) house, in person, for the first time! That was neat to see the progress they have made to making it their home for the family they are starting. Which brings me to my next subject.



This weekend is Amys first shower. The church down in Ark City is giving Amy a shower. I am so excited to see all the little pleople clothes. I think I am more excited than she is, I just can't wait to be an aunt. The following weekend is Amy's second shower that Mom, Katie and I are putting together. That should be fun! This weekend Katie and I are going to shop around on Saturday morning to see what I want to get.

Then the week after this I stay in KC for a short time because the very next wednesday I am heading back home to AC. Yup, you heard me HOME, H-O-M-E. I still consider it my home. I didn't think I would really enjoy it as much as I do, but I really do love going back. I was actually thinking about how great it would be to move back at some time in my life. I know now is not that time because it is no place for a "Lady in Waiting".

Ok, back on topic I will then be going home that Wednesday for Thanksgiving. Can you believe it is that close? Then a few weeks after that I have a trip planned to go to Branson with some friends. I am excited to go to Silver Dollar City. I love it there at Christmas time...what am I kidding myself? I love it there anytime of the year. =)

Well now that it has taken me a week to get this all typed so I can post it, I am going to tell you that pictures will come soon as well as a new post about my sisters showers!!! I can't wait for that little guy to come and join us it is going to be such a blessing.
