Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

I hope that everyone enjoyed time with family and friends today and were reminded of the many things that we have to be thankful for. We had a special evening at church last night, starting with a HUGE dinner, a scavenger hunt for the kids, and then a devotional and testimonies. It was a great time.Brennan getting in on the kid's game

Brooke went over to Midland to see Bethany & Joe, so it was me, Scott, Brennan, & 4 college students at our house today for lots of food, games, & football! (Way to go, Packers!)

Notice my new couch slip-cover in the background - I love it!!!

B-ball & other things...

Well, I'm sure that Brooke will not be too thrilled...But look!!!! There she is #22!! That is the same number that her dad wore while playing for Northland! How nifty is that?!

(Posting this pic & using the word 'nifty' is sure to please Brooke!)

Anyway - Congrats, Brooke!
I'm still working on my bedroom and as "they" always say - "It gets worse before it gets better." Wow, what a mess. Here's what I'm ordering today -

Now, that looks relaxing! I can't wait!!

Stuff is happening!!

Well, it's about time, that's all I have to say. I have hated my bedroom - forever!! It needed something and has been a cluttered, catch-all and if you've ever been here, you know that the door is ALWAYS closed. As of yesterday, things are changing in there...Here's a quick look and I'll update as things progress!

Before:

So far the wall is painted, and some of the furniture is being painted too.

Stay tuned for further developments!
