Its Halloween

And it stinks that I have to do everything alone because of Mikes work schedule....Most of the time I feel like a single Mom, but I'll put my feelings aside as always and make sure my kids have a great Halloween tonight. That's all that really matters.

Carman

We saw him, just 20 feet away. It was a great night with my Mom, Nancy, Kathy, Brandon, Haylee and  Ethan :o) How awesome to see him up close. He's still great, even without all the dramatic concert effects we've seen before.

I love these girls!!

In May....

I very unexpectedly fell in love with an old (111 years to be exact) farm house that was for sale. We had NO intentions of buying a house but I knew in my heart that this was supposed to be mine :o) There were several obstacles along the way but God stepped in and handled it all - So in early August we finally signed the official papers, bought our own home, and moved in the night before Elyssa's 3rd birthday.....nothing fabulous or fancy.....but its OUR home!! Its a work in progress but we've already done several minor things to update it and I've got a lot more ideas for the future :o)



Only 6 months....

Since I last posted. Thats awful!! But I'm about to download the blogger app on my phone so I can do it more often :o) Obviously, since I last posted, we DID make it safely to Florida. DisneyWorld was awesome!! Seeing Elyssa meet the Princesses made me teary eyed. All of the kids had so much fun and cousin Rhonda was a wonderful host. We also did Hollywood Studios, Gatorland and spent a day at the beach. I finally got to see a REAL ocean and it was everything I thought it would be! The whole week was a blast and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Since then we have had some big things happen! But I'll have to blog more about that later, cuz it's time for bed now!
