End of November already?!

Again I find myself at the end of the month and needing to write another post. The strange thing about this month is that I've actually been busy and have a few things to talk about.

Two weeks ago, I was celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday with about 170 other people. The small church basement/fellowship hall was packed that afternoon. I helped serve cake, cookies and punch, and made sure that my grandma had what she needed. Grandma had the best time and saw so many of her friends.

Last week, I met my friend Abbey's new baby Lilith Jade. Lily, as she will be called, is beautiful, chubby, and has a head full of dark, rock star hair. Abbey's little buddy, Braden told me when I entered the hospital room "We have a new baby." He later asked me if I liked Lily and I told him that I loved her. He seemed satisfied by the answer.

I am currently waiting on the birth of Cedar whose mommy is a good friend of mine; we've actually known each other since we were ten years old. I'm excited to see what kind of mommy she will be.

This past week, I spent Thanksgiving with my family- mom, dad, brother, and brother's girlfriend. We had a fun day of eating and hanging out. Friday we all split and shopped our hearts out. I got another pair of jeans and a very cute red sweater jacket. It's adorable- ask me to dinner and I'll show it off. Did I mention I got all of that for 50% off?! We also visited my other grandparents, ate out, and put together a puzzle.

I am currently starting a new book called The Paradise War by Stephen Lawhead. It came highly recommended and is pretty good so far. I also read Blink by Ted Decker. It is Sci-fish and dealt with the idea of knowing the future and the choice of changing it.

Really I think this post is long enough and I will bore you no further. Have a cool day.

Where has the time gone?

Well here is what I have been doing in the last week. Last Friday I had dinner with my OSU roommate Beth. On Saturday, Mom and I were involved in a major scrap booking project. My grandmother is turning 90 in just a week and we are throwing her a party. Mom decided that she would make a scrap book and display the pages at the party. Then we are going to add pictures from the party to the book.

Here is a picture of two pages that we finished. The dresses in the pics are from the 1940s and made by my grandmother. During WW II, my grandmother wrote a letter everyday to my grandpa as he was serving in the South Pacific. Grandma would make these dresses, take a picture and send it with a scrap of the material.


On Saturday evening, I went to my friend Abbey's baby shower. Abbey and I worked together at the youth shelter. Our co-worker Amanda was also there. Now that I've quit, us three ladies try to get together for lunch or dinner. Aren't we cute?!

Sunday was my last day of teaching preschool at church. Tuesday we had our Halloword event at church where the kids got a hand full of candy after playing games and winning candy. And finally, on Wednesday I dressed up for work and we had a lot of fun. I went in my pjs and fun monkey slippers so I could be comfortable. It was great.

Whew. that is it for the update. This weekend I am resting up!
