Winter is on its way!!!

Well... since last time... life has been passing without delay regardless if we are ready or not.

Both my babies are in school and are greatly enjoying it. My Hub is happier in the higher grade so it seems quit good. This month he ran in a 1/2 marathon in corpus christi, and did extremely good. I am very proud of him. As for as myself, I have got to get back to regulation my intake and health in general. I havenot been able to exercise in over two weeks due to all the fall festivies and man, I feel it.

This past month we have had lots going on. My hubby's run, a private ladies retreat,hunter education course, fall festivals, carnivals, and hunter's roundup. Our ladies retreat was private this year to allow the ladies in our church to bond. It was a wonderful one as always. I was in charge of our music, and it was a bunch of fun. It is always such a joy. Immediately, after that I head out to support my Hubby in his race. It went very well. Upon return I started taking the education course on two days of the week for two weeks in the evening. During this time as well I volunteered to create the signs for the event as well as do the face fainting for our fall festival. I never do things simple... well, I did about 40 kids in two hours and made full face paintings in about 10 minutes for each. Needless to say, I was so tired when I finished and even had little ones still wanting more even after we had to close up. It is amazing how much my back hurt after that night. We had a GREAT turn out and it was fun and warm... The following week, was the schools carnival and once again I found myself in it for the long haul. Please keep in mind, I was wearing a electric blue curly wig, red fiesta skirt, black corset, full orange and halloweeny skirt, true blue petticoat (squaredancing), shimming tights, striped gloves (to elbow), witchy heeled boots, and my face was decorated as well with blue lashes too.
I was referred to as a doll, witch, clown, new orleans confused, and thing 1 and 2 (Dr Sueuss). I love them all. The whole part was to bring laughs and enjoy myself. Trust me, this was accomplished....Once again I was reminded about my back and exhaustion. Would I do it again... TOTALLY but would like a bigger break in between next time to recover. ;) The roundup was very busy!!! I am part of a committee at work that does fundraisers for scholarships and this was one of our events to be apart of. We sold raffle tickets all night and have a good time collecting money and watching life revolve around it.

I am thankful that its November so I can get back into my schedule. It is way off. At least I know that I will be home on most the weekends to clean house and get our little ones back on schedule!!! We are planning on a very laided back holiday but who knows. I hope that your November will be a slow one that you will be able to enjoy the changes of the season and have time to reflect.

I teach a preschool choir at my church and loving it. It has it moments when I would like to just throw up my hands and scream.. (we are talking about 10 4yr olds). Most of the time, we are learning songs, and being crafty. It amazes me everytime how these little ones are so bright and are being used to bring praise to God. They can be devises but can also be very kind and understanding...


Take the time to inhale the scents of the season and exhale all the stress that comes with this time of the year. Enjoy the season and until next time....
****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.)
