Break please...

It was a long weekend...I'm glad it's over.

Got more Christmas shopping done on Friday.  I think I only have a few more things to get and then I'm done.  I've done really good this year with getting it done early and not spending too much at once.  

I finally got to see the husband on Saturday for a little bit.  We did a little shopping for ourselves  and then after that Steven went back to work.  He's been working a lot lately.  I'm hoping it will slow down soon.  I hate seeing him working so much.  I know he is tired, not only physically, but I think spiritually too.  I pray that God gives him strength and patience everyday.   I hate spending the evenings by myself.  I feel like we haven't been able to talk or spend time with each other the past couple weeks, but like I said, hopefully his workload will decrease soon.  I don't know how much longer I can take of not seeing my husband.  

Last night was the pie auction at our church.  I'm so glad it's finally over.  I was so afraid I didn't get enough food and that there wasn't going to be a lot of pies, but everything came together and it was great! Plenty of food and 4 tables full of pies to auction off.  We raised over 8,000 dollars for missions!!  PTL!!!

We have a pretty busy holiday week.  We have to see Steven's family on Thursday, stay the night at my parents Thursday night and have thanksgiving with my family on Friday.  Saturday is the day my fall decorations come down and the Christmas decorations go up!  I'm so excited!  Last year we rushed to get the house decorated because we had moved into our house in December.  This year I think we can enjoy it more.  

I hope everyone has a great holiday!!  Don't eat too much!!
