Praise the Lord...He protected my brother form harms way in Iraq. Grant is still in Indy doing his debriefing, we expect his to return to home tomorrow. I am so excited and so proud of him. Just thinking about him and the other's that are serving our country just overwhelms me with pride and gratitude. Thank you guys!!!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, again Praise the Lord. We started out Thanksgiving Break by going to the BR vs. WHS Basketball game. Matt went to watch the basketball game and I went to watch the 1/2 time entertainment (the Hatchet's dance team). They did a really good job...makes me nervous to think that the Vikettes will be performing this Friday night at BR's first home game.
Then on Turkey Day, we went to Matt's parents' house to eat with them and some family. Then it was off to my mom's sides family. It was so good to see each other. It was good to see my family able to see and read my blog (didn't know it would reach past Daviess Co. Hehehe). We talked, played games, ate, and talked some more. My mom's uncle Sketter (sp??) was up from Kentucky, so that was nice to see him.
Friday, my sister and I decided to BRAVE WalMart at 4am for Black Friday. It was my first time going so early and waiting for the crates to be opened which was making me kind of nervous, I might add. I got to say that it wasn't has bad as I thought. I was able to get everything on my list and get all of the kids in family done (including mine, except for stocking stuffers) with one stop. We there for about 2 hours and when we were on the way up front we heard some fighting by the produce (those grapes must have been on sale or really good!)...that really made me nervous. So, we finally made it through the cashiers and out the door.
The rest of the weekend was quiet and relaxing. I finally got my Christmas tree up last night, so tonight Grace and I will put the ornaments on and more Christmas decorations up.
Until then...
God bless.

Im not sure you know me, but I wanted to thank you for the "shout out". hehe I am one of the coaches for the WHS dance team. I found my way to your blog through a friend's a couple times, and was hoping to hear about your husband being home and got pleasently surprised with reading you're a dance fan! Thanks and congrats on your gift shopping!
We went to walmart and then on to eville on Friday...we go every yr and I wouldn't miss it for the world...although sometimes we find ourselves fighting for our lives! Some lady kept hitting my cart at walmart... I thought I was gonna have to lash out at her, but was able to keep my cool:) Glad Grant's home!
Glad you made it out of WalMart alive and in one piece! :) It feels so good to save all that money and get all that shopping done! Does BR play Pike Central Friday night? I think that it's normally the first fri. in dec. game, maybe Ryan and I can make it, B loves going to games... and w/ it being both of our old schools we normally try to go.
