Church Family

Today I want my blog to be a "shout out" to all of the family that we have at church! I am so thankful for all the brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, parents, and grandparents that are around to help me with my girls! Today Rob was called into work so he was unable to attend church with us this morning. Since I participate in the choir and bell choir, I am fairly occupied during the morning. If not for all of the loving and understanding people who also attended this morning in spite of the cold and snow, I would not have been able to participate in the music during worship. So thanks to everyone for not only helping, but making us feel like part of a big family!

Black Friday

I've been meaning to update my blog for a while now, but haven't really had the time to sit down to do it. I've had lots of thoughts about what to blog about, but one thing in particular that keeps coming up is Black Friday. I am a Black Friday shopper, it has become somewhat of a tradition, and it is something that I enjoy doing. Some people think this is crazy, and apparently they have no inhibitions when it comes to telling me so! Here's the deal: some people get up early to go hunting for a week. Some people like to camp overnight in the south hills in the middle of February, and some people get up very early to go to spinning or aerobics. Do these people continually get harrassed about their activities? Maybe so, but probably not so much as those of us who enjoy getting up early to save a few dollars. Because of the great sales on black friday I have most of my Christmas gifts purchased. So now I can focus on all of the other fun activities that come up during the month. Now I don't have to worry about who's getting what, and which store has a great sale on Barbies. So anyways, I guess what I could have said in fewer words is: To each his own!!
