Blessings from God

Two weeks ago was my last day of work for the season at Dairy Queen. I was prepared to be without a job for the next two months of "Dairy Queen Winter Break", with the way the economy is I just didn't expect to find anything to fill the gap. But last week I was called for an interview for a clerical position at MSU. It's really amazing to see God working sometimes! I recieved my final Dairy Queen check on Friday, and I started my new job today! Just thought I'd share my little blessing with all of you :)

Christmas Decorating

I love Christmas Season! Mostly for the meaning behind the celebration, but also because I get to use my talents most during this time of year. I love the decorating part, making the house look pretty! Our first Christmas living w/ G-ma and G-pa we kinda over did the lights ... hahaha! This year we went for classic, simple.

When we all "grew up" I told Mom it was time to quit using all of the nasty, falling apart, school craft ornaments. Of course we saved them, because they are memories, but we quit putting them up. That year I bought Mom a set of new decorations, which I have added to every year since. Tommy and Stevie helped decorate the tree this year, so most of the ornaments are on the bottom :) They have colds, so the look sad, but they had so much fun helping.

 

Usually there aren't presents under the tree until maybe the week of Christmas. Mom is a slacker! HAHA! But I did my shopping before December this year, so there are a few there ... and amazingly Mom has a few wrapped already too!

The wonderful photographer for this was of course Valerie, she's amazing! I will probably be adding more pictures as we decorate more in the next few weeks.
