We’re getting our first “big” snow… We had a bit a couple weeks ago, but now the ground is actually covered. They say 2-5″. Nothing like the first snow – it is beautiful! The kittens are pretty funny to watch it in as well. Matt went out to the backyard and cut us down a Christmas tree tonight. The property guys wanted to get rid of some of the trees back there so Matt said he would help them out. Now if we can just get rid of those three big pumpkins in the front – it might actually look like Christmas. Right now we have Christmas lights and pumpkins out there. LOL Someone from church said he wanted to pick them up to feed them to his pigs, but that hasn’t happened yet.

The church addition is up! It went up in pretty much 4 days. Amazing! The men of the church have been working really hard. I think they are plannig to roof on Thursday. Matt has been dividing his time between them and the treehouse project. He also has his third surgery of church members in a week… so he will go sit with the wife of the one having surgery tomorrow morning. Hopefully the roads aren’t too bad – it is an hour drive to the hospital they will be at.

I am ALMOST done Christmas shopping. I did pretty much all of it online. I have to finish up the boys gifts, & Matt’s stocking, but I think that is about it. Monday I am hosting a big Christmas Party for my Bible Study group, so I need to get organized for that. I need to do things like shampoo the carpets… Yuck! With all the mud with the construction – they need it BAD…

I went to a nutritionist last week. I asked my gynocologist at my annual exam if she knew of one and she said there was one at the hospital. I thought I would give it a try since I seem to be stuck in the weight loss department. However, we just didn’t quite jive. She was about 300 pounds, not professional, and generally only coaches diabetics… She basically said the only way she could help me is if I went on her diabetic diet.. which I’m just not all that excited about. So…. I came home and one of my friends stopped by and I told her about it. She said she is trying to lose a bit of weight as well (she doesn’t have as much to lose as I do), but we decided to do weight watchers together and be accountable to each other. We just started this week, but so far it has really been good for me to know I am accountable to someone (besides my hubby). Hopefully this will work – I think I just needed some motivation, and so far the week has been going well.

Well, the lights outside on the timer just went out – which signals bed time.
