Treat

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Monday.  I started my new job today and my brain is in information overload.  My day was full of reading lots of policies and procedures.  Tomorrow we actually get to go see patients, so I'm sure it will be more interesting.  We are really looking forward to Thanksgiving and having a few days off. 


I have promised myself that I will NOT put up our Christmas tree until after Thanksgiving.  I absolutely love this time of year.  I know that there are many who already have their decorations and trees up, but I cannot bring myself to do it until after we have celebrated Thanksgiving...then let the Christmas festivities begin! 


                      
                                   Aaden and Savannah last year around Christmas. They seem so "little" here.

I'm waiting on my Christmas cards to come in from Shutterfly.  I can't wait to see them. Shutterfly sent me an email the other day about a new website they have.  Treat.com is a great new website that can make sending cards so fun and simple.  You can create 100% unique cards for every occasion you can think of!  Today they are offering blog readers a free card with a purchase using the code TREATBLOGR.

Go try it out!

Happy Monday!

Big news!

We let Aaden and Savannah play around in the yard the other day in an attempt to get a few pictures to put on our Christmas cards. They had a ball. Tyler raked up a huge pile of leaves and they just played and played together. I love their sweet little ages. Here are a few that didn't make "the cut", but couldn't resist sharing..




Sweet girl
 
 
 
Savannah's face makes me laugh..
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is that not the cheesiest (is that a word?) grin you have ever seen? Love it..
 
Aaden took this picture of me.  I did absolutely no editing to it.  I've found my future photographer!
 
 
I also have some big news to share..........
 
 
As of this Saturday, I'm no longer a full time RN at the hospital that I currently work for.  I know that sounds a little shady, but trying not to give out too much information over the internet.  I accepted a position that will allow me more time with my family.  We are so excited and and thankful that God would open this door for us. I will still be PRN at the hospital.  The Lord knows I couldn't fully part with my "family" there.  I'm so thankful that I'm getting the best of both worlds.
 
So now that I've cleared the air, we are HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY.  Okay,  we've been watching too much Duck Dynasty.
 
And one last picture before church Sunday...
 
 Thank you Lord for these sweet blessings!

Thank you to our troops!

I haven't posted in a while because my blogger is messed up. It won't let me edit font or upload any pictures. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong, but have so far been unsuccessful. If any of you have any idea, please let me know! It also won't let me do page breaks. Very frustrating!
Anywho, today is Veteran's day and I am so thankful to those that have served and are serving to continue to allow us to have the freedoms we do. Our family went to church this morning and I am acutely aware that in many countries, that is a dangerous thing to do. Those that have/are fighting for our freedom...thank you!
Both of Tyler's grandfathers served in the Army, as did my grandfather. My cousin Josh is also an active member of the Air Force.
I was sent an email the other day from Shutterfly about an awesome campaing they're doing this Christmas season. If you will go to their website, you can pick from several designs and write a personal message to a soldier overseas. They will print and mail your card free of charge. I can't think of a better way to say 'thank you' than by taking just a minute to write our brave men and women. They sacrifice so much for us, this is the smallest thing we can do!
Happy Veteran's Day!
