Weekends go by so fast

Has anyone noticed how fast the weekends go by? I mean, today is already Friday and Monday morning will be here in a blink of an eye. Next week will be our last then we are taking off for Thanksgiving.

THANKSGIVING!!! Where did that come from??

We'll be having our second Thanksgiving without Mom. I don't think there's been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought about her. It still freaks me out when I see a truck like hers drive down the road. So many times I have wanted to pick up the phone and call her.

Our little town now has 4 lanes running through it! They've been widening it for about a year or year and a half now. It's strange how it makes everything look so different. I can remember when that street was lined with trees, only 2 lanes and a 4 way stop.

Amanda will be finished with her teaching textbooks math the week we brake for Christmas. Looks like I'll be ordering her next grade level over the holidays. So far so good with school this year. We've had a few moments when we've had to stop and pray for attitude help. God always seems to get us through it.

She's coming right along with her Christmas song for her piano recital this year. This will be the first year she's participated in something like that. She's done really well!

Tomorrow will be her LAST two soccer games!! Praise God from who all blessings flow!! I truly thought fall season was going to run into spring season!

I've been trying to keep up with keeping our church organized and making sure we have the items we need. We have been going through parts of the Old Testament the last 13 weeks at church and in our lifegroups. We are about to switch lifegroups again. It's such a scary thing but exciting at the same time.

I mean, for 13 weeks we get to know and become comfortable with the people in our group then we up and move. One of the couples we were in group with are so funny! By looking at them, you would NEVER know how funny they are. We would laugh and laugh with them. I will miss that during the week.

This way though, everyone gets to be with one another and learn along side each other. Plus it's not likely that any "cliques" would develop only strong friendships. Cause there's nothing worse than stepping into a church and feeling like everyone has "paired" off with their group and you're the odd man out.

Michael's former girlfriend now has a new beau. I ran across that tid bit of info through Facebook. Honestly, it broke my heart. Don't get me wrong, she is sweet and precious. But some of the reasons she gave for calling it off with Michael I so wanted to post. Yes, sometimes the flesh wants to take over! or at least post: "Yeah, he's cute. Not as cute as Michael though".
I know it upset him too. Stay away from those Evil Women, Son!!! LOL!!!

Have a wonderful week y'all!!!
