Good deals & fun.

I don't know what I did right this year but I've must of done something. I went out shopping for after Christmas deals and that's exactly what I got~ great deals. First It was walmart~ I was looking for a blow up, preferably a train or globe. A little pricey I decided on a smaller cheaper illuminated train, next thing I knew The sales guy asked if I was interested in the last big blow up train which my children were eyeing- of course I said yes. He gave it to me for $50 a very considerable and generous discount. I didn't have to reel , deal or anything. Very cool.!

I was also in the market for some new ornaments, had to replace some because my wonderful dog took it upon her self to chew them up~ or Matthew thought they were balls. Long story short Amanda picked out some really pretty- soft ribbon ones , we got pink and green ones.

The Last great deal came last night, A while ago my cell phone stopped working and I needed to replace it~ our server out of kindness and respect decided to give us the up grade fee. That not only surprised us~ but the store employees. They didn't have the one I needed and didn't know when they would get them in- so I asked about the camera phone~ they had them in stock and the manager said we could split the cost 50/50. I felt bad, but he reassured me it was okay, so I went ahead and purchased it in red. Like I said I don't why any of these people approached me about such great deals~but I'm glad they did, it had to be God working in us all. I can only imagine what 2008 will bring for each and everyone....So to all my friends and family .....Have a Happy New Year.

I'm here again with several reasons, one to update my blog ~ it has been a challenge considering Matthew thinks he needs to be in front of the monitor, or pushing the buttons or playing w/ the mouse. Like I said its been hard and come the evening the girls want a turn and usually I'm to tired or too busy. I have been far more active these days, I like to stay busy gives me a better reason to sleep through the night and stay sane. (lol). I've also been reading a really great book " TO Rejoice Is a Choice" by Dr. Jack Schaap. It talks about Joy. How to find it, get and keep it. It also talks about how we lose it by choosing joy robbers. He covers a wide range even using his own personal live as an example. I found it was very encouraging and helpful so far,~ I've still a few chapters to go. I've been reading lots of christian books and I've come to really like the approach of Dr. Schaap- Biblical truths involving biblical characters and they are so explanatory. He has written lots of book- This happens to be my second book- the first book was " Healing the Inner Hurts" another great title. Well thats about it for me.

I have a considerable large area I can't seem to elimanate and I've tried hard to fix it so what was supposed to a wish for you all is here:

Wishing you all Safety & Warmth During the Winter & Always.
