The best time of the year! Lot's of excuses..or reasons (whichever you prefer) to eat, drink and be merry! Love it! All the while you are....or at least should be immersing yourself in the thoughts and actions of what or who make you so thankful. I remind myself often that this life is short and can be over in the blink of an eye. So to enjoy every minute of everyday is a must. I think about how much more amazing eternity will be too! But every once in awhile I bask in whatever God has given or placed before me to enjoy while I am here and I cannot help but think how anything else could compare or be better that what is right in front of me. Like this steaming cup of Thanksgiving blend coffee from Starbucks! Or looking at my sweet family. God THANK YOU. Thank you most of all for allowing me to travel this path in life that you have laid out before me. But ultimately for satisfying the deepest parts of my soul that only You can do. I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Cheers to many many more. Lindsey
Dumb dumb dumb...and dumb. Obama for 4 more years. Whatever. I am going to just learn to pray for the president and for the future of this nation. Bryon and I are moving to another country anyway. Just not sure where yet. My heart sank when I saw that he had Ohio. Not that good ol' Mit is any better but for sure a smidgen better than the other. So no more stewing. It is what it is. When this country is suffering miserably in the next few years I will feel ok knowing that I did not ask for it. Oh...and I wont be here anyway! I voted. So i feel by the way..fully justified in complaining. Just for the record!
So on a totally different note. Super winter storm headed our way tonight and some really cold temps to look forward to. Time to bust out my Christmas tree and more music! I think because it is November it is officially ok. According to all the stores now anyway! I think this season is going to be really fun with Adisynn. I forget how in awe kids are when they really recognize all this holiday stuff for the first time! We are still elkless..sad. Bryon might go back out this weekend and try his luck again. Seems to be a reoccurring problem every year. We live in Montana...how hard can this really be? Geesh! Well love you all..I really did not have too much to share yet but really needed to write out my election frustration. Hope everyone is well! Lindsey
Oh my...the joys of life. As I sit here...hunting widow...while every key I hit on my computer is sticky. Why you ask...I could not tell you. Actually I can. It is called kids. Yes, kids. Not sure what this substance is precisely but I definitely can tell you where it came from. Gross. Anyway...I have had an eventful week! My sweet baby girl is finally in the clear! Healed of that nasty cold :) Back to her normal silly self! Praise Jesus! Back into old routine this next week. I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed the time off and the break of the busyness. Caden and Brooklynn had their parent teacher conferances already and as usual everything is amazing. I have some smart cookies and that does NOT come from me. Thanks babe! It is refreshing to hear their teachers grace my ears with compliments on my children. I complain about going but when I leave I am glad that I went. To add to crazy events of this week Brooklynn decided it would be ok to shove Cadens headphones as far in her ear as she could and ended up getting the rubber end stuck way down deep in her ear canal. Go figure. We could not even see it anymore. So off to the Dr. we went. Traumatizing for a minute but in the end we all got a good laugh. I am not sure why we find so much humor when kids get things stuck in places things shouldnt be! I attended a Womens Holiday Gala for the first time this year on Friday. I had a great time with the ladies I had the privelage of being there with, but the guest singer/speaker was not a hit. It took all of my might to keep my butt in that chair another minute. She is a southern gospel singer popping out some really old school hyms....mariah carey style. NOT a fan. It might take a lot to get me back to one of those events next year! Still keeping busy with my crogaying as my loving husband calls it..whatever! A video of us playing cards with Josh and Ashley! Hope you all are doing well. Much love until next post! Lindsey
