fall

Its Fall. We felt it last night and early this morning. Yesterday I went to my Bible Study and realized I had a flat tire. After calling the service to come and help, I waited outside for almost 2 hours. It was okay. It was cool, sunny and a wonderful time. I had not been asleep for almost 20 hours but I really enjoyed this time just reading a wonderful book spending time outside.

I came home, slept a few hours and spent some time with Michael and Lucy talking to a neighbor after their walk. It just felt good. We played trivia last night and came home. This morning, I had to take the tire back to Kauffman Tires (who repair tires for free) and waited outside for about 90 minutes (they repaired it the day before but made a booboo, I appreciate their honesty) and continued reading this most wonderful book. I am reading it for book club at church and will do a full review after I complete it. My sister is coming up for work next week and will be attending book club with me, I am excited about that.

Anyway, its fall. I love this season. I love the apple festival that we will be going to this weekend. I love holding hubby's hand and snuggling.
I'm ready for pumpkins, leaves, apples, trick or treating, Thanksgiving, family and friends. I am working tonight and we have community group tomorrow (taco night) and then Apple Festival on Saturday and Discovery 2 class on Sunday..Busy times for the Christopher. I hope to get to the gym tomorrow but that will be a whole other post.

What are you doing today?

Fall Yall

Well friends the contest is over and winners will be announced on Monday morning. You still have until noon Saturday to catch up on posts to be eligible for prizes an dont forget to comment at Michaels blog to get the points. I thank all of you for participating. Even the people who don't particularly like Michael or I, and yes there are a few. Thank for commenting and I hope you will join in. Thanks for getting to know us and hope you will come by for Christmas central here at Random Thoughts. I hope to have a slide show ready this weekend of our anniversary trip to Williamsburg sometime on Saturday.

I'm ready for the smell of fires in the fireplace (hoping for rain in Ga first), visiting the pumpkin patch, spending time outside, going for walks,the apple festival, and just enjoying life.

Michael and I met our small group last night minus one couple. We are doing a group study on a book called Men are like waffles-women are like spaghetti although I didn't do my work for the week. I think we would have gotten more out of it if we had. We talked about how to communicate and to appreciate each more. I enjoyed the study and being around new people. So between that study and my women's group on Wednesdays, it should keep me busy.

Here is another thought. If you dont like someones views on things or totally disagree to the point that you are being ugly to the person, dont bother reading it. That would solve a lot of problems, I am just saying.

Life

Lots of new posts at the adoption blog.

How are ya? Its been almost 3 days since I have blogged here and just wanted to see whats going on. Apparently football season is here and that's a huge blog topic. You won't find that here, just because I don't get it. Michael and I will be attending a get together next weekend to watch a UCF game. I am sure he will enjoy it!!!

I took a picture of the basked that is related to the post below. You guys have given me some great ideas. There is no happy news on TV today. I tried to find something but could not.

Working tonight, have Sunday off. Tomorrow after I get home, Michael and I will make it to church. We attended the open house/dinner last night before our adoption group meeting and toured the new facility. It's awesome. North Metro is huge but comfortable. Michael and really did not want to go to a BIG church but I really feel at home here. We will hopefully be joining a community group in the next month or 2 and we are both looking forward to that.

Its time for fall which should be cooler weather, 6th year anniversaries, leaves changes, road trips and festivals like the Elijay Apple Festival and stuff. Hoping we will be able to enjoy it. There is so much I would like to do, but I want to slow down and really enjoy the moments we experience.

Next week at Random Thoughts: new contest and an open forum discussion

lots to say

I have been trying to write this for a few days ago. Sunday, Michael and I made it to church where the title of the sermon was "State of the Church". It was an informative of where the church has been, where it is and the direction its going. It was nice to hear and although we have not joined anything, the church feels like home. Visit www.northmetro.org there are clips of the preaching and praise music. This church rocks!

I love the music at the church. Most of the songs are still new to me, but they are just awesome. The praise team is great and the feeling of worship is awesome. It was not your normal sermon, but this is one of the best services I have been to. They played 2 Chris Tomlin songs, which were "We were made to worship" which is my favorite and another one. There is something about hundreds of people worshipping at the same time. I dont think it was the song, but God was present on Sunday. It was beautiful. It was the kind of moment where tears run down your face and you can not control it. Oh I cant wait to get involved. I am considering joining a Wedneday morning womans bible study.

The week has been well. I have picked up an extra 12 hours this week and so far so good. Tuesday night I left for work at 545pm and got home Wednesday morning at 11am. I definitely slept good when I got home. Lucy and I slept downstairs together and she was quite happy.

Despite the 100 plus degree days we have here, fall is approaching and I am too excited. Because fall means our 6th year anniversary which is followed by Halloween which leads to Thanksgiving which leads to Christmas, the most fantabulous time of the year.

Michael is planning our anniversary celebration which I assume will be a nice dinner somewhere which is all I need. See, last year Michael and I celebrated our 5th anniversary in Williamsburg, our honeymoon destination.

Well, this fall, I hope we get to visit Helen, Ga. We missed it last year. We have the apple festival in Elijay as well. There there is the pumpkin patch, long walks, Halloween and hopefully going home for Thanksgiving this year. As excited as I am, can you imagine what its going to be like when LynnMarie gets here?

MIchael and I cutting out things we dont need and hopefully we will see our budget getting better. When that happens, I hope we can take another trip to the Jackson/Memphis Tn area. Not only did I spend 4 wonderful years at Union University, but my old roomies and friends live there now.
