I used to hate Monday's, but since I stay home with Abbey, Monday's have become a great day to take it easy & recoup after the weekend!! Poor King doesn't get to "recoup"...oh, well...
It was SO nice having him here for 4 days!! He got off early on Wednesday, too, so that was good (I can't remember if I shared that before or not...) ANYWAYS, it was a great holiday weekend!!
Saturday I went to decorate the church!! :) I was there for FIVE HOURS!! LOL I'm glad I didn't have anyone else there to help, though...I turned on the sound system, and blasted out a few CD's and had a great time of worship while I trimmed the trees!! LOL :) It was fun :) Hobby Lobby also had an AWESOME sale going on this weekend, and aside from almost losing my Christian witness with this one pushy lady, I did pretty well :) I got a lot of pretty Christmas decorations 30-50% off!! :) They were all for the church, too!! :) I've received a few compliments on the trees...I think it's the way I put the lights on :) All the other stuff is hard to see, but the lights are good :) I learned from the best :) My Dad :)
So, we got some REALLY bad news yesterday...JJ & Missy might remember Daisy's friend from High School...Jaimie...she was 30wks pregnant, and went into early labor over the Thanksgiving holiday, and the baby boy was stillborn. It's SO unexpected, and I just ache for her. Please keep her & her hubby, Chris in your prayers. I know from experience that this experience not only takes it's toll on you, but on your marriage, too...I'm SO thankful for King...he really helped me with both miscarriages, even when I know he hurt, too. I think we grew closer as a couple through all of that, too, and I know that's not always the case with these situations...and this is just the beginning of this particular path in their life together...the coming days/months will not be easy...again, just keep praying for them :)
Okay, on a lighter note...King found batteries for my old keyboard, and now Princess thinks she's a professional pianist!! LOL She LOVES to beat on that thing!! Luckily there's a volume control!! LOL This thing is HUGE, too...I wanted to get rid of it, you know, donate it to Goodwill or something, but King's the one who's hung on to it...I'm afraid this is a toy that can't be "fixed"!! LOL :)
I'd better go...OH!! :) I've updated my website :) I think if you click on my profile you can click on the webpage link, but I'm not sure...I like to "decorate" for the seasons :) A lot's happened since I heard that "click" that has set me back, but it's all a part of the journey :)
Have a great day, Journal Goddesses!! :)

I'm so sorry about your friend. The wierdest thing is that in women's group we were talking about that kind of stuff last night. People always have a place in their heart when it happens to them. I will pray for them.
A keyboard,huh? Pita Pocket loves to bang on the drums at church. NOPE! We are NOT getting any for Christmas. I made it a point to tell both sets of parents that we have no room for something like that and whoever gets it for him...it stays at THEIR house. They have both agreed not to buy him anything like that. I feel like I have a set of kids that are in their 50's sometimes! LOL!
I wonder what Bethany does for Christmas decorations? You've got me thinking about it. This is the first Christmas with Bethany, so I don't have a clue what they do. At our church in TN, one day all the decorations would just show up. It was beautiful!
Hope you have a great Monday. I gotta work on getting this wreck cleaned up! LOL!
Lots of Love!
I'm so sorry to hear about Daisy's friend!!!! That's awful! Even with the problems I'm going through right now, I still feel so lucky that my little "bun" is doing great! I'm just the problem....
Did you get any pictures of the decorations? I bet everything looks great!
WOW! I actually read your journal last night...but was too impatient to post.....but haven't been able to stop thinking about Jamie. I didn't know she was pregnant. This morning I was getting ready for work and just felt compelled to stop what I was doing and pray for them.
One of the songs that I loved so much from the concert last night talked about praising God and raising our hands to Him (not our fists) in the hard times...or the storms.....
Praying for them....and also for Daisy. I know that this is tough for her too....leaves lots of questions and uncertainties.
Glad you had fun decorating your church! You should hire out for that!!!!
Love ya!
Thank you for sharing about Jamie...I was so sad to hear but what a wonderful way to form a great big prayer circle around her and her family...
