still alive!

Wow! Has it really been that long? I have a TON to catch up on. The problem is I feel really overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Maybe I will just start with today and fill in the last couple months when I get time.

My kids are finally feeling better. It felt like they were NEVER going to get over it.

My parents accepted an offer on their house. We went up to help them move some stuff last Saturday. Sometimes I wish I lived closer so I could help more...but I am sure my mother is glad I don't (because I have a tendency to want to junk things BEFORE you have to move them).

Troy's business has been REALLY SLOW lately. As a result he has been around the house more and we actually cleaned up our basement and re-organized, took a trip to DI, and to the dump. Ahhh...to de-clutter! It is SO LIBERATING!

It is weird to check me and my sister's business email and not see ANYTHING because the Halloween rush was SO CRAZY! We will have to remember that next year.

Troy and I finally broke down and bought NEW COUCHES!!! The are really pretty chocolate brown leather couches with double recliners. I would post a pictures, but they can't deliver them until the 1st of DEC!!! GRRR! Oh well, I guess I have lived with these ugly slip cover couches so long...What is another month?

We had a REALLY fun ward party, it was kind of like a progressive dinner (minus the progressive part). Basically we hosted 4 couples at our house (everyone bringing some part of dinner). We were supposed to meet the ward at the church after dinner but we were having such a good time that we didn't get over there in time. It made me decide that we needed to do more/get to know more couples in our neighborhood. We really enjoyed getting to know the Hintzy's, Elkin's and Potter's.

Christmas is coming and Troy and I can't decide if we want to get a NEW CAMERA, or a badly needed NEW MATTRESS.

Lastly, I am NOT READY FOR COLD WEATHER YET!!! We were going to get our Christmas lights up BEFORE it got too cold...LOL! So much for that.
