I've become a serious couch potato!

HELP....I've fallen and I can't get up-off the couch that is.

I've never watched the Gilmore Girls but now I'm HOOKED. My friend let me borrow all 7 seasons (I'm on the 3rd) and I'm addicted. I've let me house go, my kids are a mess, and I've had waaaay too much Diet Coke.

Are there any other Gilmore Girl fans out there???

POLITICS.....YUCK!

Instead of posting how nervous, scared, disappointed I am about the president elect I actually wanted to share some enlightening news about my thoughts on the elections. On Tuesday as I approached the voting booth I felt an unbelievable amount of emotions run through my body, not because of who I was or wasn't voting for but for the gratitude that I have to live in a country where I CAN vote~ Where my voice can be heard and where I have the freedoms as a woman to worship and speak as I may. I'm proud to be an American and I'm proud to live in a nation under GOD!
Okay so this is how I was feeling about 6 weeks ago. I know it was my choice to buy a honkin' huge car, but still......it was very depressing every time I would fill up. I'm happy to say that the gas here in Memphis is now down to $1.97 a gallon. My once $116.00 fill up is now $54.00. Now that's a reason to smile!

The end to a great season!

Carson's football season came to an end yesterday. It was their last game and it ended on a high note for Carson. He made three touchdowns and their team came in third place in the league. We had a great time watching Carson play, as we always do. Way to go bud!

There's nothing better than family support!
Carson with all four of his coaches behind him. He loved playing for these guys!

Mom and Dad rooting on their Mighty Might!

The team with their cute, little cheerleaders. If we make any type of comment to Carson about the girl's, he just squirms and says ooo....yuck!

GO COLTS!

HALLOWEEN PART 2

So I took lots of pictures Halloween night but I had a big smudge on my lens that I didn't see so none of my pictures really turned out. Thanks goodness for neighbors with clean cameras. That aside, "Trick or Treating" turned out good and the kids had a blast.

HALLOWEEN PART 1

There's so much that goes on for Halloween with Ward parties, school parties, trick or treating, etc. that I decided I had to make this a two part post. Of course Halloween Part 2 will be posted after "Trick or Treating".

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU ALL!

My Southern Belle, Skeleton, and Pirate all dressed up and ready to go!
Treats we made for our friends, neighbors, and ladies I visit teach.

Ryleigh was my date as we traveled from one function to the next...and a cute date she is.

We don't have a ward activities committee, so me being the nut that I am volunteered to have myself and the young women put on the Ward Halloween party. I do have to admit that I have a new found respect for the Ward activities chairman. The one bonus though, is that you're super busy only a few times out of the year, you don't have to get a substitute on Sunday's, and you get to spend somebody else's money :) All in all is was a good night and it all went off well.

Cara and Ryleigh with "their girls".

Just like most of your kids, my kids have been busy with the fall festivities. We're really lucky to have a large group of girl's in our Ward that all fit somewhere in between my girl's ages. Cara and Ryleigh love "their girls".

My Komfort Kit

My good friends from High School, Brittany and Camille sent me this super cute "Komfort Kit". I had to share~ Thanks ladies, you're the best!

Komfort tip #1-Don't forget that you'll receive "Extra" blessings for enduring this trial.

Komfort tip#2- Don't forget to "Snicker". Laughter is the best medicine.

Komfort tip #3-Always have a tissue handy to wipe away the tears.

Komfort tip #4-Use the hugs and "kisses" to get you through the difficult times.

Komfort tip#5-Don't forget to tell others that you love them.

Komfort tip #6-Many wish they could "light"-en the pain, but remember others can "light"-en your load...let others serve you.
