Yeah!! Autumn is here, Christmas season will be here soon! I am getting so excited!!!
Tonight we had one of our first fires built which gave the house a nice cozy warm feeling. (Complements of my amazing dad!!) Makes you feel like going and getting in some warm pajamas and snuggling up in a blanket and watching a movie. :) Just wondering, can anyone tell that I'm excited?? :)
Austin's birthday was yesterday....20?????? AAAHHH!!!!! I feel 20% happy and 80% sad!!
But, as Grace reminded me, he is still my brother...and a very good one at that!
Well, I think I'm going to go get in my warm P.J's and snuggle up in a blanket. Hm... now...what should I watch??
:)

Thanks God!
Mom and I were just heading out the door to go into town and hopped into the van when it suddenly wouldn't start. Rats. We've just got it back from a two month long visit to the shop and now this???? We were out there for a good ten, fifteen minutes, calling my dad, trying it again, waiting, trying it again...nothing. "Why us God??" I kept asking myself. "Will we ever have a vehicle that runs properly??"
I finally got bored and came inside. While walking through the door, I spied a hymn book on the piano opened up to a song. I read the title: Count Your Blessings.
WOW!!! It was almost overwhelming the way God showed me that we HAVE more than one vehicle, we WEREN'T on the highway and it somehow shut off!!
I really enjoy how God shows us our follies.
Thanks God.
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Mount your many blessings; name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Old Iron Works Days and More....
Hey!! I'm sorry for not updating you or writing in a while! We have basically been.........BBBUUUSSSSYYYY!!!! Ask anyone who I have talked to in the last week or so and they will clarify it!! :) So here's what's happened over the few days.
Saturday and Sunday was Old Iron Works Days! We went both days and both were a blast!! I got to dress "old time" this year like I usually do, but.....this year was special!!
I was blessed with the opportunity to be able to wear my grandma's dress that she wore when she
was my age!!! AND....her mother (my great-grandma who I've never meet before) was the one who made it. So whenever anyone would ask, "Oh! What a pretty dress! Where did you get it?" I would always reply "Boy, I'm glad you asked!!!" It truly was a special thing to wear with a special story!!!
Friday I went to my other grandma's to a Granddaughter Gathering! That night, we went to a dance with grandma and grandpa and had a WHOLE bunch of fun!!! The next morning we woke up and ate "special pancakes". Grandma shaped them into the first letter of our name!!! Then we worked on a secret project. I know that I can speak for all my girl cousins....IT WAS FUN!!!!
Tuesday was the usual "town day". Flute lessons were a blast but I am getting into some of the more complicated things. Like trying to blow till you faint!! Not really, but it feels like it!! Got home and was dead tired.
Wednesday I woke up SICK!!! AAAAHHH, I hate that feeling when you are lying in bed, "Oh, I don't feel good. PLEASE don't be sick, PLEASE DON'T BE SICK!!!" And then....you are. :(
After a whole day of endless boredom in bed, tons of water, Gatorade, hot tea, crackers and hugs from mom and dad, I finally got better!
I think that's worth two smileys :) :)
Well! That's all for now!! Again, sorry for the delay!
