Fall is here!

Good evening everyone!
Fall is here in my house! Its been so dreary lately here in Dallas, but I must say that I have officially broken out the Christmas music....along with the Fall decorations! I get so so excited this time of year, due to the fact that my entire life, this season is the most celebrated in my family. Something about going home for the holidays and smelling my dear mothers house. Its so cozy and warm, and just being there gives you a sincere feeling that all is right in the world. I only hope that I can have those traditions with my Natalie, and I definitely will!

Its been busy around here. I have been focusing on eating better. I am officially down 26 pounds and unfortunately, I cannot figure out for the life of me what my ticker password is or username. It wont let me update it so hopefully soon I will start a new one.

I am going to take pictures of my fall decor and post them probably at some point later on today. (its 1:00AM right now...) I spent the greater part of this evening cleaning my house, and its laundry day tomorrow. I am soooo going to workout as well, do some schoolwork, and possibly shred my mountain of ppwk that has been in there for months staring at me. Ugh. There is nothing worse than shredding paper for hours!

I recently joined a new church and couldnt be happier. Natalie loves it, and I have made so many new friends. I love the preacher and his wife, I love the sense of belonging that I feel, and I am so happy that I found a place where I am comfortable with the programs that are offered to Natalie, and the friends that she is making. She is learning songs as well as Bible verses each week, and it makes my heart so glad to hear her sing them and to talk about them the way that she does. Tonight we started our new Life group and I am so pleased with the girls that are in it with me! I am the oldest in the group, and 3 of the 4 girls have kids, and are getting divorced. Mind you I am never getting divorced because I couldnt imagine spending my life with anyone else but my DH, but I kinda felt that this was the group that I was needed in. The girls are very young, (20, 23, and 25) and have multiple children, and are already faced with divorce. What a shame. I just have not figured it out yet, but I really feel led to be with these girls. We clicked immediately, and you would have thought that we were all  best friends. I LOVE MY CHURCH!!!

I serve a Risen King and there is such a peace about that! Thank you to my parents for teaching me the word of God and for leading such Godly lives. Happy 41st anniversary to the two best people on planet Earth. I love you both so so very much and could not have asked the Lord for two better parents. I am so so blessed.
