Catching up

It has been quite a long time since I have blogged so I thought I would do a quick run down of the happenings....

• I got a speeding ticket. I have to go to court tomorrow!!! Yikes!
  
• We are now Wii owners!!! We love to play it. I am so good at bowling. Anyone want to challenge me?
• We had Thanksgiving at our house. I think the total came to 18 people!!! I love it! I love being able to open our home to people. It was great. And I finally mastered a great Sweet potato recipe! The packers won which made most of the people in the house happy!
  
• We went shopping on black friday on three hours of sleep! We got some great deals and can't wait to give our Christmas presents away. We are almost done with our list!
  
• Sunday was our 2 year anniversary. We really have not been able to celebrate it yet. Sundays are a little hard. But our Sunday School class made us a banner that had our pictures on it. It was cute. After finales we are going to try to go on a day trip to celebrate.
• I totally aced my Psychology test last night! Yeah!!!! Now I just have to get through finales!!!

Here is to two years and many more...love you buddy!

we are the pirates!

Ok so this post is long over due. Here are some pics from trunk or treat. Eric, Joe Jackson and I were pirates! Well Joe Jackson was my treasure as you can see in this pic! We made a tunnel around our car out of cardboard boxes. The beginning was the mouth of a whale and the kids had to crawl through to see if the could make it out to the other side. It was a lot of fun! I am still working on my pirate smile!

Here we are getting eaten by the kid eating car!

Just for fun here is Mandy and I at last year's trunk or treat!

happy forget me not day!

Today is Forget me not day!!! Just wanted everyone one to know how much I appreciate you. I just thought I would acknowledge a few great people in my life.

My Dad & Leona- I could not ask for better parents they always have solid, godly advice. I love them very much.

My mom- She is my best friend.

My Grandma- I am so blessed to have a godly grandma. I call her with all my crazy life questions. She always knows what to do. She is also a great dancer!

My Pastor & Annette- Wow.....they are amazing! Truly have done so much to make me feel at home here in Springfield. I love them dearly!

Tony & Jaime Sebastian - These people have changed my life. They are great forever friends. They are going to be missionaries to Greece and change the world for Jesus!

Lisa Brown- Lisa was my host mom while I was in Erie Master's commission. She did an amazing job taking care of me. I was just telling someone today about her and what a great mom she is!

Pastor Robby & Amy- They were my youth pastors. I still ask them advice. They are so great.

I have been blessed with amazing people in my life!

My trip home..

I loved every minute of being home! It was so good for me to be able to go home for a bit. I got to do all the great things I love like hang out with my great friends the Sebastians, go on a shopping spree at Gabes, eat Nicoli's pizza with the amazing Helena, have a venison steak dinner, see a PA fall, hang with my bothers, play lots of Phase 10 with the fam, see some great senior interns in action, walk in crunchy leaves, see Jon Krebs and much much more!!! I wish I could have spent more time with everyone but Eric, Joe Jackson and I will be home for two weeks at Christmas!!!!

Funny thing.....I had to add an extra suite case on my way back filled with only one thing, my stash of Middelsworth chips to last me till Christmas....
Leona is doing great! The doctors called to say there is no cancer!!!! PTL!!! There was only a 10% chance of that....what a miracle!!!
