After a pretty trying week, we had a pretty good weekend. Even though today it all seems like a bit of blur. Of course, Friday was Halloween and we were not home for our trick or treaters, we were at Bryce's football game. They lost against Taft (BOOOO!). The first half the team was doing pretty good. Then came the second half and they got stomped on! Oh! Well, Taft is #1 in the City so far. Let's hope their homecoming game this Friday is much better.
Fortunately, Noah's game wasn't until 6 p.m., so we had plenty of down time. So, our Saturday started off with cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning! It feels so nice to have a clean and tidy house. I feel like I accomplished a lot...I even made a pot of stew for us to enjoy after Noah's game. It had been raining all day so their field was pretty muddy and slippery! Fortunately, the rain stopped when it came time for Noah's team to play. The boys had fun getting all dirty! Anyway, Noah's team made it to the play-offs! We're so excited...We'll be getting more information within the next couple of days. Way to go Chiefs!
We also turned our clocks back one hour...giving us one extra hour of sleep. We all like that!
Sunday, Brent's mom (who is here from Norway), sister and niece drove down from the desert to go to church and visit with us for a bit afterwards. Later, we headed over to my parents' house for dinner. We enjoyed a delicious meal with them, Aunt M and our Sistah, Carolyn (Michelle's BFF).
Today, Brent & I are celebrating our 18th Wedding Anniversary! Wow, 18 years! That's amazing! Happy Anniversary, Brent!
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. We've been through quite a bit, in these 18 years. Our marriage has not been perfect by any means. All I can say is that we've come along way and I'm looking forward to the years ahead.
Tomorrow is Noah's 11th Birthday! Not sure what we're doing yet, it's up to Noah.
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE and HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
It is one of the coolest gadgets in the scrapbook/card making world. Needless to say, after the holidays, I started working with it. I'm so excited about my SLICE! It cuts cool shapes, flowers, words and alphabets. It came with a memory card that has cute templates on it. You select the template, the size (1 to 4 inches) and tell it to cut away! I made these cards:
Thank you card. I SLICED the flower, swirly tag and T-H-A-N-K-S.
Butterfly Staircase Card. I SLICED the Butterflies. Pretty cute, huh?
Large Scallop Circle Card. I SLICED the scallop circle and the the coordinating circles. This is my favorite. I'll be using this design alot, as well as my new SLICE! So that's enough about my new toy! Work has been busy, busy, busy. The kids have been back in school for two weeks now, they're gearing up for finals next week and then the start of the Spring semester. I'll be back soon for more catch up and slice news, so stay tuned!
