Thankful!!!

So, here's my list of what I'm thankful for this year and always!

1. Answered prayers
2. My AWESOME hubby who loves me, flawed and all!
3. My wonderful, cute, and blond boys!
4. My family....all of them!
5. Hard work ( it builds character and keeps you from getting into trouble)
6. Our Military and their families!!! Thank you for protecting us and serving our country!
   

God's word.....the hope that it gives and the comfort. I know that these aren't very many but I could go on and on and on. It is nice to be able to share my faith and have the freedom to do so because I live in America! Have a Wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Soooooooo...........

I really don't have a ton to tell anyone. We're buys working on sheet rocking the upstairs in the house. We have three rooms almost done.....meaning we still have a few pieces in two of the rooms to do. We are getting it done it's just a little time consuming. I'm SORE from lifting it all and I seem to find a new bruise every day. I think it's more because I"m a GIGANTIC clutz than anything.

The boys are all good. We're trying to get a picture of them and get it sent out. Some of them to grandparents and some to Aunties. I need to take them to WalMart and just have it done since I will NEVER end up finding time to borrow a camera and do it myself. Plus.....I would really like a nicer picture of the kids for everyone. I think early next year when the house is done we will go to Sears and get a family photo. The first professional one EVER!!

Gearing up for the Holidays. I am super excited about Black Friday shopping. Tasha and I are going together for the second year in a row. It will be SO much fun! We even stop by Carl's Jr. afterwards and get burgers and shakes. So, that's about all the updating I'm doing today!

House Update!

We have heat!!! YAY!!! It makes Mommy happy when there's heat and I don't get so cranky. We've been having a good time working on the house. I helped Phil with the vapor barrier yesterday and we were finishing up some stuff today. We got the upstairs cleaned up and are hoping to get some more sheet rocking done on Monday and Tuesday! It is SO exciting. It's finally looking like walls!!! I can't wait. We are shooting for having all the sheet rock done by the time Phil leaves next month to go to training in Florida. He is excited about that. Then we're going to have some guys come mud, tape, and paint while he's gone. I hope it doesn't take too long. We might even start moving in after that is done. We are going to get the rest of the plumbing finished up for now and then we will be doing the finishing plumbing once the walls are done. It is coming along quickly and Phil and I are excited about all the progress that is being made. Anyways, happy happy!!! I am having a good time with Phil doing it ourselves. It has been an awesome experience but one I will be happy to be done with for now! So, other than that, it's school everyday and the normal mom stuff. Have a great weekend everyone~

One 2 One Review

So, I have obviously been doing reviews lately. This one was for Norah Jones' new C.D. called ......Featuring Norah Jones. It was interesting. A lot of the songs I didn't care for but there were a few that I liked. I like her more mellow stuff and there was more country and pop type music on here than I liked. I am pretty picky about music and don't like the instruments to actually overpower the lyrics and that's pretty much what I felt was happening A lot on this c.d. So, I wouldn't run out and buy it but if you like more modern stuff like this you might!

Bzzzz Agent Review!

So, I started doing Bzzz Agent and I finally got my first product to review. It was Tom's of Maine Wicked Fresh all natural toothpaste. I was skeptical at first but if you get a free product to try and review then who can beat that. It is surprisingly good!! I like it and have been using it every night. If you're not used to all natural stuff you might not like it but sometimes you have to give something a try to see if you will! I sure do. It's nice knowing you have fresh breath and you're doing something good for yourself! So, there's my review of it. Try it for yourself sometime!

Soooooooooo.......

We're SHEETROCKING!!!!! Isn't that amazing? I can't believe we're getting so close to the house being done!!! I am loving it! The staying home and making good meals a few days a week has been wonderful and just what I needed. I am sad that Phil has to go over every day but I think he just wants to get the thing done!

We are all doing good....no sickness. I had a good visit with my parents this week. It was nice to see them again. They probably won't be back to the Interior until Spring so we will have to stay in touch Via phone, e-mail, and Skype. The boys had the best time ever with them here and we actually saw Josh, Ang, and McKinley outside of church for a change!! hint hint!

I am excited about the Holidays and can't wait to start making candy for Christmas and all the goodies for Thanksgiving. I don't know how much of it I will eat but we'll see. Sugar isn't very appealing these days and actually makes me sick if I eat too much. That's is definitely a good thing don't get me wrong. I am just going to cut way back on my intake of it! I am doing a diet with Mom starting Monday and it will be hard but I think it will be really good for both of us. It's only for a week and then you continue to be good after the initial loss. So, not to bore anyone but I'm REALLY excited. I got my ipod shuffle this past week and can't wait to start running on the treadmill again and training for next year's North Pole Half Marathon. I was bummed I didn't get to run it with Ang this year but I had wayyyyyy too much on my plate at the time! So, next year......here I come!!!

One to One....
