Wow, what a month.. actually, more like what a crazy 6 to 7 weeks.. seems like yesterday that we looked at the house and now here I sit in the living room.. a room that I absolutely love, with a fire in the fireplace, waiting for dinner to finish cooking and absolutely loving life... As most of you know, the girls and I moved into our first house.. we LOVE this place.. It is everything we ever wanted and more.. I can't believe how God has been blessing us.. I am so very thankful to Him for every thing.. It took a while to get moved and settled, but I think that 99.9% of all the boxes have been unpacked, we celebrated our very first Thanksgiving here and it was wonderful and we will be celebrating our first Christmas here.. Jeff and Samantha have spent the night twice.. was great both times.. Thanksgiving morning she creeps down the stairs and stands on the next to the last step and waits til I peek around the corner of kitchen and says. "Hi, G'ma" I love that little voice.. Then the girls and I worked overnight Black Friday and they spent the night again.. she wasn't awake when we got home so I crawled into bed totally wiped out and slept for about 3 hours.. I wake up and Sams little face is about 2 inches from mine.. the minute she sees my eyes open she says.. "Hi G'ma" then she asks.. "what ya doin?" and I told her I was sleeping, then she asks, "where's Aunt Boo?" so I told her she was downstairs in her room sleeping.. and she says, "I go wake her up" lol.. I love that little girl so very much.. sort of having withdrawals, it has been almost a week since I have seen her.. :(
Today was my 9th straight day of being at the Super T.. very stressful and difficult on the old bod.. my feet hurt so bad.. so glad to see 4:30 today.. When I got home I got busy in the kitchen making dinner..
