It's NEEDS to Snow again!

Why you ask? Because we need to make one of these:

Thankful Thursday - A Day Late, again!

With the holiday season we've been busy having fun!

I am thankful for:

The Jingle Bell Run/Walk in Bellingham

Tabitha and I walked our 2 miles!! We had a blast and at the same time we honored our sweet friend's daughter who passed away in June 2010.


This is Kiersten. She would have been 19 years old on December 11th. The day that we participated in the race. At the same time we were in our race, simultaneously, in California a similar race was being held to celebrate Kiersten's birthday.


Leila and Trevor-Kiersten's parents

The Jones Family


The rest of the "team".
It was such an honor to be a part of this, even though we were 2 States apart.

Music (again)

This time it was David's band concert. And he just completely ROCKED the trombone sections solo during jazz band!! SO fun!!!!!

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for:
Electricity!

We lost power for 3 hours yesterday. Boy do we LOVE our creature comforts. You know, like going to the bathroom with the door closed ;D. But it sure is good to know that our fireplace keeps us nice, warm and cozy.

More music:

Amber's Symphonic Band concert

My crazy family:


Christmas trees:


And being happy when you find the one that will come home with you!

Frustrated Friday!

Ugggh!!! Ever have the kind of day that you think "it's going to be a good day" and things keep coming up to try and make it a bad day? I'm so frustrated!! When I opened up my email today, Rob sent me the notice that his healthcare premium is increasing 71%!! Arrrggghhh!!!

THEN both, his car and "Ruby" (our faithful minivan)went in for a normal oil change. HA!! Not so normal for "Ruby". They found that she has a crack radiator. :P Why is it that December seems to equal car repairs? Grrrrr!!!

So here's my rebellious attitude song for the day!

Thankful Thursdays

I am still loving these Thankful Thursdays. It just helps to keep me focused on the good things and try to not get sucked into the negative.

I am thankful for:

Pictures that cheer me up:


Falling and not getting injured:

Not down the stairs, thank goodness. But in step aerobic class at the gym. Splat on my rump bone!! Yikes! Glad nothing was twisted or broken.

Protection:

Hearing and seeing an accident starting to happen 3 cars behind me while stopped at a red light and being able to avoid becoming the 4th car rear ended.
