We have been making Christmas candy and the girls are all going shopping together tomorrow. We are making gingerbread houses with the kids later and I will try to post pictures of it. Everyone is going bowling on Wednesday so that should be a BLAST!! OH, and TYLER is here!!! He surprised us on Saturday and it is making the Holidays so much more fun!!! Well, I had better get back to my baking!! I promise to post pictures soon!!

Sugar Doll Award.....who knew it?

So Tori tagged me and here I am...I didn't know how to get the cute little award posted so oh well!! Here's my ten things about me!!

1) I have the most amazing husband in the world....he sometimes likes to purposely drive me crazy but he is so very strong in the Lord and has helped me grow soooo much in my own Christian life!!

2) I am VERY blessed with four little boys who fill my life with joy and happiness....they are sometimes EXTREMELY difficult to keep up with.

3) I am not very good at keeping in touch or taking pictures.

4) I am a workout junkie.....when i'm consistent enough to do it!!

5) I hate arguing or fighting.....I am more of a non-confrontational kinda girl.

6) I love my friends that uplift me and help me to do the right things!!

7) One of my favorite things to do is quilt although I don't get to do it that often!

8) I am a Very happy morning person....probably to most people's disgust!!

9) I am NOT good at talking about myself....this is difficult coming up with ten things!!!!!

10) Hope this satisfies Tori!! Love you girl!!!

Closing....

So, we found out today we sign the papers at 12:00 Friday afternoon and will be officially moving in this weekend!!! YAY!! I'm so excited that it's all working out better than it would have had we signed papers yesterday. Phil will be able to move alot better those days in conjunction with his schedule this week. Just thought I'd let you all know!! YAY!!!

De-railed...

Well, first let me say that I am a goal oriented person....I know this but my sweet husband was oh so willing to remind me once again today. Our realtor's secretary called and said the bank lost a piece of paper.....not an important one....but important enough to start whatever they were working on over again!! YES!!! Can you believe that. I have no idea when we will sign on the house or close now. I get extremely upset and frustrated when things like this happen. Apparently, it's because I am a control freak......my sweet husband was on a roll today. Anyways, I am and know it...it's just hard to swallow sometimes since I know it's not a character trait I want to keep. The LORD just always finds a way to let me know I'm SO NOT in control. Anyways, a discouragement but one that I can learn from. Anyways, I sure wish I could handle it better!! Just pray that it will all come together soon so that nothing even worse happens. Like the people back out or something!! Thank you!!
