Yet another wonderful week.

I've come to realize that even though I love my full glass, I tend to skip over the sad or bad things that happen... So we're going to start with that....

Last Monday, 10/31, one of my "grandmas" passed away.  Mary Elizabeth Foutz raised 2 wonderful boys and had 3 grandchildren, plus a ton of people that love her.  She will be very dearly missed by many.  Her funeral was Friday, 11/4, out doors and it was just lovely.  Her family had a chance to talk & mingle & share wonderful memories of the great woman that she was.

Now on to more "fun" things.....

Laura completed week #2 of going to school and she is just so excited to go every day and see her new friends and play and learn.  It makes me happy to know that I picked a place that she enjoys going. 

Michael had his first week of vacation LOL.  UPS did all that rush training and then let him have a week off.  They said that they would call early next week, so hopefully he will be back at work soon.

I didn't do anything super exciting this week.

We had our yard sale on Friday & Saturday and we did pretty well.  We are excited to see things going to homes where they will be loved or used and knowing that we will have that much less to pack & move.  We wanted to have a close out day on Sunday, but it rained off & on - it was so beautiful out!!  This was a great weekend to have a sale.  We are planning to do another one on Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday, because that proved profitable once before :).  Since we don't know where we are moving to yet and we just plain have to much "stuff" anyways, we've decided to get rid of almost everything that isn't a NECESSITY.  We know that it doesn't seem to make sense to pretty much anyone else, but it makes sense to the 2 of us.  This is something that we have talked about, discussed, pondered for a long time, so it's not a whim or just a silly idea.  So, please be positive, we know what we're doing.

We had "Thanksgiving" with my dad's family today.  It was so yummy!  As much as I love the food though, I always manage to eat too much.  Dad and Tammy will be in Montana for Thanksgiving, enjoying the snow & checking in on the status of their new house.  I'm so excited for them and can't wait to go visit between Thanksgiving & Christmas so that we can have a "white Christmas".

This week, Laura has school, Michael should hear from UPS, I have work and who knows what other fun adventures may come our way :)

We hope that everyone has a blessed week and we look forward to having one ourselves :)
