Halloween!

Is everyone ready for Halloween???

Getting ready for the long weekend with the hubby with birthdays to celebrate and parties to go to!  Too bad we aren't celebrating in St. Louis :(  But we did have a hell of a time the last couple of years watching the Cards play!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!  Hopefully if I have some time to myself I can work on my projects for a while.  T.A. is really looking forward to getting back into woodworking..(and I'm really looking forward to getting my trim done and doors hung!!)  Projects everywhere!!  It seems like there is always something to do your house.  I found that out early after painting the inside about 10 times!  Thank goodness I finally decided on a neutral burnt almond color.  I change stuff in the house waaayyy too much and it all has to match.  I'm hoping to get my rug done and if T.A. is nice, maybe he can get a tool for his birthday!!

And prayers are going out to the family and friends of the two miners at the Armstrong mine in Centertown.  

The Beginning of Something New

So, I thought I could (once again) try something new.  (It's kind of my thing)  While my sidekick if off at work, I have been going through new experiences, testing out new talents, and learning through the trials of everyday living what kind of person I am growing into.  I am planning on posting plenty of pictures of crafts I have made and my small adventures....I try to live each day to make sure the people I love know that I love them and be thankful to God everyday for what I have.  There is no one in this world that is my biggest enemy than myself and just because life doesn't go the way you think it should, (e.g. I should be a nurse with 2 kids by now and I am an administrative assist. for an environmental company with too much time on my hands) doesn't mean there aren't things to be happy for every day...Just remember, it could always be worse.  So, smile :), be happy that you woke up today, and truly think about the people and things around you that you are thankful for.
