Boaz's last year in the Jr. Christmas Cantata is over, the band concert is done, the decorations are all up and my Christmas shopping is coming to and end. My Sailor is home!! I am so happy, I have two days off my full time job to spend with my hubby and son. Tonight, I'll be going out with the family shopping trying to finish up that last bit of shopping. I really need to spend a bit of time wrapping presents but that will just have to wait.
My house is so full of fun and laughter right now! All my children will be together again this year for Christmas. I can't wait to hear all of them raze each other about silly things. The boy's have already wrestled each other to see how much stronger they are since the last time Aaron was home.
I'm having a good day!

Who Started Christmas
A woman was Christmas shopping with her two children.. After many hours of walking down row after row of toys and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the store elevator with her two children in hand.
She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year, getting that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list, overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, making sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card.
Finally the elevator doors opened revealing a crowd in the elevator. She pushed her way in and dragged her two kids and all her bags of stuff in with her.
As the door's closed she couldn't take it anymore and blurted out,
"Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up, and shot."
From the back of the car, a quiet calm voice responded,
"Don't worry, we've already crucified Him."
The rest of the trip down was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
Don't forget this year to keep the One who started this whole Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word.
If we all would, just think how much better this world would be.
Jesus is the reason for the season
Wise men still seek Him

It's been a while but I'm still alive!!
I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged. I'm really doing great! This is my last week of 7 day delivery of the Ann Arbor News paper. I did sign on the with the new company so I will be delivering a Thursday and Sunday paper. I will have roughly around 400 customers. I might even be able to sleep in on Saturday mornings if we are not working over-time at my U of M job. I'm still working at the U of M in the Laundry service department. I am a feeder folder! Lets just say, I work hard all day. LOL!! I am also still cleaning our church...But I love that job. Really, I do. Cleaning is my thing!
My family is doing great! My twins just turned 15 last Sunday. I can't even believe it. I just turned 46 on Wednesday! Man am I getting old. Bret, my oldest is still as busy as ever. Jess and my Grandbabies are leaving me for a month to go with my son to open yet another Auto ports in the U.S. Becca is working two jobs until she can build her clients up now that she has moved back home. I love having her home! We have been exercising together for the last month or so. We are doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. It really works!! Aaron is in the U.S. now. Seems like I still don't get to talk to him as often as I would like but he is doing well. Then, there is my youngest son Bo. He is taking a little break from everything right now. He will start up fall soccer pretty soon.
Well, I can't think of anything else to write so I'll leave it by saying "HI" to all.

New and exciting thing are happening in my Life
Wow! Where do I begin? For starters, I'm doing great! Lots of changes have been going on in my life. The company I have worked for for the last 21 years is closing down. It has been a part-time job for my husband and I since that time. I quit my accounts payable job 15 years ago this month, to stay home and raise my children. The route is something that I could do and take my children with me. Plus, it allowed me to home school my children. My three youngest children have never know anything different than mom doing the paper route and cleaning the church. I praise God that at least my children are now at the age where they don't need me to be home. Monday started a new chapter in my life. I started a full-time job at the U. I'm excited to see what new and exciting things God has in store for my life. I have seen God's hand in my life since the AA news said they were closing their doors. Even the timing of all this is great!
I'll try and keep this blog posted with what is going on in my life.
