Ahhh!! An exciting weekend is among us....

Well...its been a rather exciting week and the weekend is even more exciting!!

We are in a bible study on Monday nights at our church and we're doing this study called "Intimacy with God". And one of the questions was bringing up stuff about journaling and how it helps to get thoughts out and stuff. It totally made me think about this blog and how this is kind of my type of journaling, just online instead! :-) It's been a really good study so far, so I hope it continues to be just as awesome in the future!

I convinced Tom to paint our bedroom!!! This is just awesome news for me. The walls are currently a funky shade of blue but I'm just not loving it anymore. So as Mr. Obama would say, "I want change!" Just kidding. But it'll be good! We're going to start taping and going to be putting up a new ceiling fan tonight. I'm really excited about it all. The walls are going to be a tan tone when its all complete. I'm pretty pumped. So that begins today...I'll hope to post pictures at some point!

We have a whole weekend of awesome festivities beginning tomorrow!! Tom's parents are going to have the girls all weekend. That in itself is awesome! I love my girls to death, anyone that knows me knows that, but we all need a break every once in awhile. And then on Saturday, we're going to Valleyscare all day with the Coopers. Then on Sunday, we're going to the Vikings game with the Coopers as well. They're playing the Ravens on Sunday, so it should be good fun. Tom went to the Vikings - Packers game a few weeks ago, so this'll be his second time this year but it'll be my first this year and it'll be the Coopers very first time at NFL game!! WHhhooooooahhhh!! I'm really excited about all this. Then on Sunday evening, we'll go and pick up the girls again and start the wonderful week over again next week!! :-D

I hope you're all doing well and we hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

The week....oofta!

Wow has this week ever been long but I can say, much of it was good! I guess I can't complain a whole lot!

I guess the biggest news we have lately is that we got a new cat!!!!!!!!! He's really cute!! He's a domestic long haired, orange and white cat. He's about 5 years old. His name is Trevor and he's just a gigantic teddy bear! He's really cuddly and always leaves his mark by filling your shirt with cat hair! :-) He has been living in a shelter for about 9 months, so he needs a good grooming and a lot of TLC. He's been a really good cat so far. And I guess maybe the best part of this is and the big question is, him and Chester have been getting along INCREDIBLY well!! It's been amazing!! They are friends already and have been playing together and sitting together on the couch and stuff. We've had good luck so far with him.

On the flip side of this wonderful news is that Julia is sick....again. She has this cold and upper respiratory infection back. We're going into our pediatrician today and hoping to get some strong meds to take care of this again. This has went on for two weeks now and its getting pretty old. Then on top of that, Kira woke up this morning with a cough that sounds very similar if not completely similar to a croup type cough. It's been the bark. So we'll see where that goes too. It's gonna be a good day, let me tell you! :-)

I am overly excited for December to come!! Not only is it Christmas AND my birthday, but its also a Chris Tomlim concert and Disney on Ice Princess Classics!!!! It's going to be a busy month! I'm going to the Chris Tomlin concert again and am SSOOO incredibly excited!! I went to a concert of his awhile back and was completely moved. It was amazing! I am so pumped to go to another one! Then that next Friday in December, I'm going to Disney on Ice Princess Classics with the Marlin girls! It's going to be me and Kira and Julia, Steph, Melissa, Sophia, Diane and Marvel!! I'm really excited about that and hope it'll be a good time!!

Well, I think thats all I have to report for now!! :-) I hope you're all doing well and hope you have a great weekend!!
