10 Years!
Ten years ago Paul and I were married. As the vows say "In the presence of God..." we started our lives together. His presence has been evident as we continue to grow together. Praise Him!
These are the final words my FIL preached at our wedding: May Jesus Christ always be present, and then your lives will be rich, your service fruitful, your testimony clear, and your home will ever and always be a place where God himself will be pleased to dwell.

Stupid Blog Technology
I'm sooooo frustrated! Blogger is telling me that I can't upload any more photos. Seriously???? Urgh. I don't know what to do, but I have some great shots from Christmas I want to share! Stay tuned and maybe I'll figure out what to do.

Lou's Nativity
There was no room at the Inn .......
because it was filled with a lion, elephant, and Mermaid
So, Mary and Joseph opted for the pop-up camper.

I'm just surprised there were no dinosaurs in the equation!
Timber
While Jeremy was here for the weekend, we put him to work and cut down a tree in the backyard. The brothers grunted and had manly time. I'm sad to see the tree go (even though half of it was dead), but it creates a new project since I'm turning it into a table. We were even able to supply Mark & Dena with a literal house warming gift....firewood! Thanks, Jeremy!
Making sure it is level so my drink doesn't spill when it becomes a table!

He's a Graduate!
We were so proud to be a part of Mark's seminary graduation. He has worked so hard and I was so excited to see him cross that stage! All the brothers and their dad were all here at some point this weekend to congratulate Mark (& Dena).......AND help them move! It was a fun and full weekend. Congrats, Mark! 
Thanks, Nana!
The girls got their ornaments from Nana this week! They were so excited to open them and even more excited when they were so perfect for each of them.....Bethany got a C3PO from Star Wars and Lou got a dinosaur!
Lou put hers on the tree......
Bethy put hers in the entry hall. Yep, nothing says "Welcome & Merry Christmas" like a robot decked out in a wreath and lights!

The girls were acting silly and being robots like C3PO
Decorations
I wish this post was about how beautiful my Christmas decorations are this year, but nope....not this year. I let the girls do the tree - which they thoroughly enjoyed - and it looks like they did it! I left 3 boxes of stuff in the closet. We did get up the nativity, tree, one of the villages and some garlands. It does look like Christmas around here, but it is surely not over the top. The big hit for the girls (other than letting them do the tree) was the window clings Aaron got them and the lights on the tree house(....before the squirrels chewed through the wires!). 
Brahma's Hockey Game
Bethy won a drawing at her school last week for tickets to a Brahma's Hockey Game! She was so excited and we had a really fun family date night. We sat with another family from her school and the three kindergarten teachers. Too fun! It was the girls' first hockey game, so the whole experience was just great.
Sweet & Sassy
Bethany went to her best buddy, Caroline's, birthday party last week! It is so fun to see them together and makes me even more sad that they moved further away :( But, they are still close enough for playdates and parties!!!! Caroline's party was at Sweet & Sassy and let me just say that it lived up to its name. They were treated like movie star/super models. The girls got their hair and make-up done, sassy dresses to wear and pranced down the catwalk. After making their own bubble bath and eating cake, they were chauffeured around in a hot pink limo! Let me just say that Bethy had a BLAST and there was a ton of giggles and squeals to be heard!

FOND OF VONDA
"FOND OF VONDA" on April 24, 2010
This is my 4th year to head up a team for the Race in Tarrant county; and, this year my motivation is even more personal than before. [It started out when we were "Gail Force" in memory of a dear friend's mom.] This year, our team name is "Fond of Vonda" and we will participate in memory of my mother-in-law. The first three years I was able to do it in honor of her, but she won her battle in August and will cheer us on from Heaven. Vonda was an amazing woman and I know Heaven is even more beautiful (and louder!) now that she is there!
I also walk in memory of my maternal grandmother whom I'll meet in Heaven. She won her battle and passed away when my mom was only a teenager. There is no doubt from the legacy she left that she, too, was a wonderful person.
Along with walking in memory of these blessings, I walk for my girls. My prayer is that there will be a cure if they have to battle when they get older. My daughters deserve the chance that others haven't had.
I have complete faith in the plans of Jesus, but I also know he blessed people in the medical field with an abundance of knowledge. Through this foundation, people's lives are touched and that is worth the Race.
Please support us by: contributing on this site, donating to our team by contacting me directly (for supplies and participant scholarships which are needed by many who desire to participate but are financially strapped), JOIN our team (you don't even have to be here to be on our team!), or join us in prayer.

Lovies
My friend, Robin, gave the girls a gift that we can never thank her enough for. She wanted to do something special after Vonda passed and she went above and beyond. There are not words that can express what these lovies mean to us. She had lovies made using one of Vonda's shirts! She had the girls' names and Vonda's life verse embroidered on them. Left us speechless.
Thank you, Robin!
Thank you, Robin!New Moon
Yep, I was one of "those" crazy 30-something women who went to the midnight showing of New Moon. I wasn't crazy alone, though! Candie is also a fanatic Jacob fan, so we went all out silly for the night. Haley also joined us for the pre-movie fun, but had to teach the next day so couldn't watch the movie with us. 
Haley even matched unintentionally. You can imagine the stares we got when we went out for sushi and then to Buffalo Wild Wings. So silly.
Yes, we were total dorks and had matching homemade shirts! Nuts, I tell ya! Candie's was even misspelled, so her paw print had to cover it. We figured if we were going to do this, we might as well go all out and act like a couple of 14yo for the night. 
We laughed sooooooo hard. It was much needed!
Finally in the theatre! Candie did a front roll in the aisle and we squealed when Jacob showed up without his shirt. Too fun. The teenagers around us thought we were looney... they were right!

Thanksgiving
We spent Thanksgiving in the panhandle with our families and had a great time! The girls and I went on Monday since Bethy had the whole week off and then Paul flew in on Wednesday. We had dinner Wednesday night with my Dad, but the batteries were dead in my camera. Duh! On Thursday, we had the big traditional dinner at my Mom's - yummy! Friday was time for Christmas decorations at my Mom's. Thankfully, Aaron did most all the work. In my defense, I did get on the roof and put up those lights. We spent most of the day with Paul's family. Then, Saturday was our family dinner with the Boergers. It was a fun day of playing, seeing the Habitat House, and redecorating the living. Melisa and I even got to help Dad B pick out some recliners for his 'new' living room. Saturday evening, we went back to Mom's for a movie w/ her and my brother. Sunday morning was good-byes to my family and worship at Gerald's church. Then, we hit the road. Christmas will be here before we know it!
Nana gave us all Christmas jammies!
Apparently, it was time to wrestle with Uncle Aaron
Uncle Scott joined in the fun
Hanging out at the Boerger house
Helping clean up around the Habitat House
Lauren and Carson were great buddies!
Uncle Gabe won Bethy's heart with a Star Wars video game
Lauren fell asleep in Nana's lap after a full day with her cousins at Grandpa's house.
This was the best.... We came home to the front of Mom's house being decorated and lit up. Bethy just kepr giggling and running around. I love watching the girls this time of year!
