My First Post

Well, what a busy week is has been and we're only have way through. Yesterday, before going into work, I stopped at the local Christian Bookstore and picked up some Christmas gifts for family. I also found some adorable Christian stickers for the envelopes on my Christmas cards. Last year I made all my Christmas cards, with the help of my future sister-in-law, Bridgett Owens. She is awesome at cards and always has great ideas. This year however, I have been busier than ever, and went ahead and purchased already-made cards. They have little penguins on them, cause my youngest sister, Tula, loves penguins and they had a verse inside. But, I did get to make 7 amazingly, beautiful Christmas cards. Bridgett and I had a card night last Friday. We enjoy those so much and don't get to have them very often, but always have lots of fun when we do. Bridgett picked out some gorgeous and shimmering black and silver designed papaer and we used my Christmas stamps with black ink and made some really classy looking cards. It's hard to pick who to give them to, cause they're all so great.
Last night, we closed down the library early due to ice. I hope it stays nice tonight, although it was nice having two extra hours in the evening. Getting home after 8, leaves little time to get things done, such as laundry, getting stuff ready for the next day, reading to my little siblings and also visiting with Mom and Dad. But it's ok, there's always time to do that later. I have so much to do this weekend. I have to run up to Bloomington to pick up some stuff, so hopefully my fiance and I can run up there. We always love going out to eat up there, then hitting a bookstore and just walk around and look. I usually end up sitting cross-legged on the floor, reading the backs of books and jotting down the titles and authors so I can search for them at the library. Arnold, my fiance, usually ends up in the music, computer or politic section of the books. And I always have to make a stop at the cookbooks and the Christian books. :)
For those of you reading, pray for my grandfather,Lee Percifield. He has been in the hospital for awhile with severe heart problems and now the flu. Also for my cousin's wife. She had a c-section two weeks ago and had a healthy baby boy, Hunter Lee. The doctors made a mistake during her surgery and how she cannot have anymore children. She was hoping for another and then maybe 1 more and now can't, so she and my cousin are devastated, but praising God for their son they do have. God is good!
Thank you all! Bless and Be Blessed!
