Our Every day life.........
I love this time of year.... the mornings here are crisp. I have started walking again and eating right. I do the live-it program called "First Place." It is a lot like weight watchers but not. LOL ~ This is the only way I can lose weight. Other programs do not work. I started on Sep. 14th. I've lost almost 10 lbs. I feel lots better, my head is clearer and I am sleeping better. I still want to lose lots more....
We put out our fall stuff..... little scarecrows, pumpkins, yankee candles and all. I start thinking about baking and the holidays. I love pumpkin bread........ it makes my house smell wonderful.
We are plugging along in school. We are enjoying Heart of Dakota. I love how it is all laid out. Alyssa really is getting it. She is learning so much about history. Everything fits together.....
Michael & Amber came this weekend. Mandi, Amber & I had a girl's night out Saturday night. We went to a movie and out to eat. It was fun. Nice just the three of us. We laughed and talked ..... I would like to do this every month or so. Billy (my husband), Michael & Dakota stayed here and watched the younger ones. They played hide and seek in the dark with flash lights. Yesterday we all went to church together. Last night after church we went to Burger King and several friends were there for my birthday! It was fun.

A very good friend from church ..... mom of two..... has cancer. Our hearts are heavy. We are asking (and have been) God to heal her..... on earth. She is such a great lady. She is a labor/delivery nurse. So very special. I love her dearly.........
May we know what a gift this life is...... may we live each day to bring glory and honor to HIM.... may we be the wife and mother He has called us to be~
make a memory........
