My many blessings

Just crawling into bed..blessing number one. I have a home that is a wonderful home I have everything I need including my bed :-) I have a wonderful husband to spoon with at night...(even if he snores!:-)) My son and his girlfriend just returned from Hawaii on vacation and I loved looking at their pictures with them and seeing their faces as they shared their memories...blessed to have such a wonderful son and that he allows me to continue to be part of his life as he moves through life. As we were watching the videos and pictures of their vacation my daughter came home..another blessing. Then to watch my son give the gift he brought home to his sister...how thoughtful!! I relfect more on my day and am blessed also that I have a mother and father still in my life. I cleaned out my car in my dad's garage today..I had to borrow his Armor All and shop vac :-) Talked to my mom a couple of times on the phone...then went to Hobby Lobby with my sister. yet another blessing! When I went to pick her up had the joy of visiting with my brother in law..yes he's a blessing too! I could go on and on of the blessings that He gives me everyday....I go to bed not feeling hunger, I feel love from Him and all of the people He has put in my life, I have a job that I love, car to drive...........for all He gives to me....I am blessed..................................

THANK YOU!

I received my cartridge from Joy!!! I was the LUCKY winner of a Cricut cartridge and not only did I get that I recieved a very nice (handmade of course) card to go with it!!! LOVE the net and bloggers!!!

Almost the weekend!

I love the week too but look forward to weekends becuase I allow myself time to scrap. This weekend I am going to be working on Courtney's graduation invites! Tonight I'm still having fun following everyone! It's so great to see what others are creating and the new tools out there etc...I do have to nudge my hubby every once in a while as it makes it difficult to watch the great demo vidoes while he's snoring! :-)

Courtney

We just returned from the National Honor Society program for Courtney. She has worked so hard in school and has grown into such an incredible young woman. I am so proud of her accomplishments and look forward to see her grow and contribute to our society over the years.

Time...again

I enjoy each and everyday...it's just that it seems the days are more and more packed with doing and not enough of reflecting. I know doing is a must but when I begin to meet myself coming and going at the door it's time to do a little less. I am reminded of the Dunkin Donut commercial...the guy that meets himself coming and going..."time to make the donuts...oh already made the donuts" :-)

Time

Why is it that there is so much to do and it seems so little time? I spent the day in bed today. I woke with a migraine at 4 a.m. and it never left me until just a bit ago. Now I'm not tired and so will take the next few days playing catch up. I'm not sure what trigged my migraine?! We had a fantastic time at Grandma's 90th birthday party yesterday. It was great to see our cousins from MN. All to often everything in life keeps us busy except the important things. You know what I mean!?

Laying here now listening to my husband snoring...as many times as I nudge him to stop and I try to get to sleep before he starts again....I'm certain that is one of those things in life I'd miss if I didn't have to nudge him every night.!? Courtney made me smile tonight too. She had asked if I'd help her with some points in a speech she was delivering tomorrow. In my comment when Andrew asked what I was going to do I said "I have to help Courtney with this speech..." she quickly smiled and corrected me..."Mom you get to help me with my speech..." I've taught her well.... for now.....j

Testing the mobile app?!!!

Life in our house

Enjoying the evening with Tyler, Andrew and waiting for Courtney to get home from work...I think she just walked in?! I was out doing some blog hopping and having a GREAT time. I am so impressed with the many talented ladies/guys that I have found out on their blogs. It's really fun to see all of their GREAT ideas!! I really need to get busy and get Courtney's invitations made for graduation. I'm really looking forward to working on them just want to get more of my creative thoughts engaged.:-) I will have to post some of the projects that Courtney and I have been working on over the past couple of weeks. Bye for now..........
