Trimming the Tree

Muf & Cup with their elves

I love this moose you can put all the names of your family on it. Maybe next year I will be able to add another name!

I love my tree and I am proud to say I got almost everything wrapped.

I spent my two days off getting as much done as possible. Christmas is coming quickly it seems like so I spent the last two days decorating, wrapping, getting xmas cards together and making my list of projects so I won't forget anything. I am older now so I have to make lists. I wanted to get Cup & Muf by the tree, but they were to busy playing and supervising me. I will get them though its still early.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

There is a new song out by a girl named Sara Buxton called "Outside My Window." If you haven't heard it I think the words are so simple yet so true. It describes perfectly all the simple things that sometimes we take for granted. I have been doing alot of thinking and praying I want to make sure I don't get wrapped up and forget what Life is really all about. I hope you will take a listen she even made her music video for like $80 dollars. I just think she is awesome. Wonder what Cup & Muf were looking for?

I don't have many pictures from Thanksgiving, but it was so nice to be with family and celebrate what is important Family there is nothing sweeter. We had such an amazing meal. I appreciate anything home cooked because I don't get that but once a week. This meal was awesome and Tiff thought I did a great job on my hashbrown casserole. Maybe there is hope for me yet.

Cross for a Cause

My friend Whitney dropped off the first batch of Adoption Shirts. I am beyond excited and hope to sell this first batch very quickly. I will start off small, but the payoff at the end will be BIG!

MY GIRLS

I think there is nothing better and sweeter than these little faces. We spent time just playing and cuddling before I worked yesterday. Cup will play toys for hours, and Muf is just happy hanging with me. I have no idea what I did before they came into my life.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Granny & The Girls

With today being Orphan Sunday I have been thinking and praying for all of those sweet children in the world that need a forever home and family. I hope one day real soon I can be one of the people who get to bring a child home to a forever home and family. I know God has the perfect time and plan for my life and his will for my life is this cause. I continue to trust it will happen for me. With this being November, I am reminded of so many things I am thankful for:

1) I am thankful for my family and friends. They mean the world to me there is nothing more wonderful than having a family that loves you.

2) I am thankful for my sister, not only is she my sister she is my best friend.

3) I am thankful for the best GRANNY in the entire world. She came last weekend and spent the night and day with me and we went to church and to Sunday night Supper. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. I will cherish the time I am able to spend with her she is the most amazing person. I hope one day I can be half the Granny she is. I know everyone says, The have the best Granny, but I am telling you I really do!

4) The next two things I am thankful for are really a package deal. My Cup & Muf I have no idea what I did before them. I saw somewhere this week where someone said," Life is nothing until you have had animals and children because they teach you what life is all about." I could not agree more. Three years ago almost I never would have dreamed I could love these sweet little things so much. They have taught me patience, How to relax a little, I mean its me we are talking about here, and most importantly unconditional love.

5) The last thing I am very thankful for is the many Adoption Blogs I have come in contact with. I know God has been in charge of this I know only a few people who have adopted. With these blogs it has made me realize how my dream of adoption really can and will become a reality.

Last Saturday we had a full day. I went and picked up Tiff at the airport and we went to an Adoption Seminar in Brentwood we met some nice people and got some great information. That night we went to Rindy's to celebrate her and Brice's Birthdays. We had such a great time visiting with family. We had such a good meal with chili and hot dogs. Brice wanted a ice cream cake and it has been years since a had that it was delicious. Tiff got Mrs. Melna to make Alabama Football cookies for Brice. I wanted to put up a picture, but can't figure out how to put more than five pictures on a post. I know it can be done I just need to look into it more. We got Brice all decked out in Steelers gear. I promise Tiff was there but didn't want her picture taken. It was so nice to be together with Family. Happy Birthday Rindy & Brice!
