I survived - without Starbucks!

We survived :)  Back from an all boy adventure (plus a few moms) in the woods, with tents, and knives and some really big sandhill cranes. One of which wanted to fight me for a pancake.  I won. (But there was a moment when i almost let him have the darn thing).

I wanted to thank everyone that emailed me since my last post - that post really did come out of the clear blue when i was cleaning the kitchen the other day and i felt i had to write it down. Get it out.  And reading your words of encouragement in the emails i received was amazing and i thank each of you, from the bottom of my heart.  

We got home before 11am and we were still pretty wired so we started the process of christmas decorating.  The tree is up but it took awhile to get it fluffed out right from being packed away, and i can't decide what i want to do yet throughout the house - so i'm working up some inspiration....what do all of you have planned?

    I'm glad you had such a great trip. And there's no way I ever would have given up the pancake!!!

    I love the pictures. Especially the first one. That red lantern should belong to me!!

    Hi Sheri! I somehow missed your last post and just had to tell you how glad I am that you shared that with us and what an amazing testimony you have to God doing "exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ask or imagine"! He truly wants to give us good things and yet somehow we are all prone to believing that He won't! Your story is beautiful and I am so thrilled that you now understand that marriage with love AND friendship is the best!
    Blessings to you this week!

    Yea! You're back! The kids are asking when we are getting the tree, so I am trying to figure out how that's going to happen with a husband on crutches!

    I love those trees by the door covered in moss.

    Hi! I just found your blog from a comment you made at Holly Mathis's blog. I came over for a visit and it looks like we have a lot in common (as far as blogging goes, for sure!). I loved your description in your profile. It made me smile. That's how I feel most days. Nice to meet you and have a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm now following :)
