A great day!
I had a great day and feel so accomplished! I cleaned....super cleaned the house so it would be nice for Thanksgiving. Included steam cleaning and all. I already made the Oreo cheesecake, the turkey is thawing, the bread is drying out, I also made the cranberry apple jell-o that the kids like so much. I'm also working on the deviled eggs and cole slaw tonight. I'm so excited to plan my first holiday....what was so nice about it, is that we took in account to what everyone wanted, we kind of voted and everyone here is getting what they wanted made! So now its just the turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potato's, and sweet potato's that I will have to do the morning of thanksgiving. I

(that would be my example from my life, according to the preaching today) It really hits home and makes sense to me. Too much time is tak

'I am ...
'I am a Christian" When I say... 'I am a Christian'I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin'.I'm whispering 'I was lost,Now I'm found and forgiven.' "When I say... 'I am a Christian'I don't speak of this with pride.I'm confessing that I stumbleand need Christ to be my guide. "When I say...

Christmas Portraits
I started Christmas portraits today. It's a whole new gmae learning studio type. It's a lot easier outside, a lot more room to move around. I felt like a contortionist by the time I got done today. I would think it made for a good make shift yoga workout, lol! I haven't started to edit my families pictures yet, but I am working on Maddie's! Here's a sneak peak, I've been playing around with photo shop elements! Brian ordered it and the book for my birthday, I can't wait to learn how to use the rest of the tools!
