Our tree

I took a picture of our tree with the leaves partially fallen off. I'm pretty sure they are all off now. It's my favorite tree, and I'm always kind of sad when its barren. I just want to remember it like this.

Housey Stuff

As my friend Sharron would say, we got a Jesus present. Our new table. It's beautiful, and we got an incredible deal on it. I loved the paneled farmhouse table look, and God gave us one. It fits our space perfectly. Also we got our kitchen island at Goodwill. It is so nice to have a huge place to work or have the kids eat a snack or Jack to say his blends while I'm working in the kitchen. And the other pictures are just of the house. It is my playground, and I'm always playing in it and switching things around.

Ordination Service

Today was a special day for us as Matt was ordained by our church. We had a great service followed by the laying on of hands as the men of the church and other ordained men of God prayed for Matt. Then pastor presented him with his certificate of ordination. We had a cake for family and friends afterwards. Here are a few pictures although maybe not of the best quality since most are with my phone trying to zoom in. We appreciate our church, pastor, family, and friends and all of the love and support shown to us. I'm proud of Matt. It's been exciting to see God use him, and I look forward to many more years of being married to him as we serve the Lord together.

Cupcake fever

My first attempt at frosting cupcakes. Don't laugh. I liked it enough that I will try again.

Brushing teeth

Somehow it turned into brushing hair, and everything was wet. What were we doing?

Uniform Night at Awana

Is fall over?

I think fall is over in Minnesota. Here's why:

The leaves are almost all off the trees now.

There were snow flurries yesterday and an icky rain the day before that.

Tuesday was 75 degrees, and yesterday was 40.

I had to dig the winter coats out.

I haven't seen the sun in a long time. I feel in need of some sunshine.

Yep that clinches it- time to go to Florida! I do love Minnesota but I notice it gets harder to endure the winter each year. I'm not quite ready for that yet. I don't know if I ever am!

Maybe we are just at the end of fall, the part right before the holidays and the beginning of winter with the first snow. Ok there's still some goody left in fall so I will hang in there! I do love the holidays in Minnesota close to my family. There's a lot of fun things we do. But it is interesting how much the weather can affect you!

You can tell I have extra time today!
