It is FREEZING!!

I have been so busy that I am just not able to write at night. By the time I get home, feed the kids, do homework, get them to bed, unpack, do laundry, I am just exhausted! I am hoping that once things settle down after the first of the year I can be much more dedicated to posting thoughts and pictures.
As many of you know, my Pug, Petunia, is missing. She got out last Friday and we have not been able to find her. I miss her so much. She always slept with me and I was so close to her. We have put up 200 signs and also posted "lost" announcements in the newspapers, on craigslist and with the local pound. I am just heartbroken. We have really struggled this past year and I have had my spirits lifted by my dog (I know it sounds silly), I love her so much and I miss her so much!! I just hope and pray that someone calls me and tells me that they have her. I want her back really badly. I am having a hard time sleeping without her. I would appreciate any prayers that you all could offer on my behalf for Petunia's safe return home. =) That is all that I want for Christmas.
We are trying to get settled into the new place. It is so hard to move! I could not pack as I would have liked to, so we have tons of bags and boxes of mixed things. I guess that is what happens when you have only 4 days to find a house and move in.

It's Always Something

I am so very sorry that I have not been writing. Things have just gone haywire in our lives! We had to move because our home was being foreclosed on, but our lovely landlord never mentioned that to us! So, we had to find a home and move FAST. We moved into our new home on Monday. I am so grateful that we were able to find something so very quickly. I am confident that my Heavenly Father played a significant role in making that one happen. I am really looking forward to making it through December and getting settled into the house. I absolutely hate moving, but it had to be done. Christmas is going to be tough this year, but it is what it is. I am lucky to have the things that I have. All I care about is making sure that the kids have a good Christmas.

Every Tuesday at Chik-Fil-A is family night. So, I always take the kids there for dinner and they get to play in the play area, get balloon animals, and get their face painted. The LOVE it! Anyway, for Christmas, they have the cow dressed up as Santa and they are taking pictures with the kids.
