The Good And Bad

       Honestly a really long trying week. But with that being said, also a very uplifting and rewarding week. Adisynn has been ridiculously sick. The worse cold ever. Now to top it off fever blisters in her mouth. Suck. She has been so MISERABLE and so have I. It really stinks to feel so helpless. I wish I could put her in a bubble sometimes! Now this sicko sickness is spreading to the rest of my family along with the rest of Great Falls. So lots of prayer for quick healing! You really appreciate the healthy times in these situations!
         I did not make it to the gym this whole last week and my chances of getting there this next week are not looking so hot. Either way I have already seen some great results. I am continuing to lose some pounds and slimming down my inches! It is awesome. I feel so great :) No plasma donating for me for awhile due to either too much protein or dehydration. I am starting to think that God is purposely trying to slow things down a bit for me. So instead of being stinky and mad I will just accept it and have a time of rest. I am still crocheting like a crazy lady. My latest accomplishment....mittens. They are epic and quite amazing. Every time I finish something I just want to keep it all to myself! I am sure my family will greatly enjoy it as much as I do!
        Other family news would include the baptism of my husband, son and daughter today! See there was good to my week! Really really good stuff. I am so happy for them and very proud of the choice they have made to follow Jesus and to publicly proclaim to everyone that they are going to live their life for His purpose. So happy! We are also really looking forward to our trip next month to see Matt and Sierra for Thanksgiving! I have not spent a holiday with her in a very very long time. Then I get to look forward to them visiting for Christmas. I'm not going to lie...I have listened to Christmas music a few times. I cant help it. It makes me so happy...and when the snow is falling and I have some baking going on...my brain just says...CHRISTMAS MUSIC! YEAH! So whatever to all you holiday music haters! I love it :D Caden made sure to point out that it has not even been Halloween yet...puh...whatevvvva! Well I am off to enjoy some sleepy time. Love you all and hope you are well. Whoever reads!

Blogging Takes A Backseat!

Hello family and friends! I have not posted in awhile due to crochet fever! I am making awesome projects for my family and some friends so I have kept super busy trying to meet the Christmas deadline! Things here have been super busy but great! Just when I don't think I have a busy lifestyle I stop for a few minutes (like right now) and realize how much of a busy body I have become! I am choosing YES to more opportunities which in turn has made me see stars! :) Hunting season is here and fall so far even though it is not technically not here yet has been great. Bryon wrapped up his youth hunt today with filling all of the tags the kids had------> awesome! Tomorrow it is his turn to fill his own tags. He is pretty dang excited. So good luck honey! I know you will be successful this year! Me on the other hand...what isn't new! I got a gym membership last week and have been sweating it up! I am really enjoying it :) Crazy I know! But I feel proud of my accomplishments.....and my sweat! Also I have had the privelage of getting to spend time with and get to know some of our youth kids. What an amazing blessing. I am so honored that they want to spend time with me and hopefully learn some tips and tricks about life. They are lovely girls. I love you all and hope things are well for you. Till next time! Ta ta!

In the saying "NO" zone

This is my new motto. I have realized that I say no too much. So I am going to work on saying yes more...in moderation! Have to be safe still! I think saying yes more can really open up so many more possibilities and doors to happiness. More responsibility can be a great thing. I feel like such a grown up! Not much new going on in the home front. We are finally getting our first cold snap and what looks like some moisture. I am still skeptical. We will see what tomorrow brings. I was going to have a cup of hot chocolate but decided on a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch instead. I got some much much much needed shopping done today..relief :) Caden was running on one...yes one pair of pants...with a hole in the knee. There has not been a need for pants because of summer so with the cold front I had to scramble to get him some today. Mission accomplished..5 pairs of pants and new shoes to boot!
Other items to discuss would be my new phone. Ladies and gentlemen I have a smart phone. Boooo..I know. I finally crossed over to the dark side. Owell. It is nice...I can't lie. Will I use its millions of functions...no. But either way it was free! So there you have it. I cannot be different everywhere :) I am off for the night. Working on some new crocheting projects. I will post pictures soon.
