• That we live in a Country where we can celebrate the holidays
• That we have men and women who believe in this country to fight for our freedoms
• That we have a church that believes in ministering to all generations.
• Most and foremost that we have the only reason to celebrate this season "Jesus"

Need your Help!!!!

Craig's dad is experiencing some health issues and we are needing to find him and Craig's mom a place to live. Craig's dad is needing 24 hour care and his mom wants to be close to him but does not need this. Have you ever tried to locate two places for people to live that are close and handy for each? Also, we are 4 hours away and can't look or see the places we are trying to get them to move. What a task and responsibility. So if you have been through this or have any insightful info. please let us know

A very long time

Blogging has been on the back burner. We have been busy attending football games and working on the house again. I know that sounds like all we do, and I am beginning to think that is the case as well. We have been working on the landscaping and guttering. Yet another expensive chore.

Just an update or two. My dad seems to be doing better. We are praying that he never sees another catheter again. My cousin, Chris, is doing a ton better. He is at home now and taking care of himself during the day. We are so thankful that he is able to do this.

Jared is so excited for Christmas. He keeps getting all the toy catalogs out. I keep telling him we have to have Thanksgiving first. That is not any fun for him.

We have been working on what Christmas is all about. He can tell you it is about Jesus, but he is a little mixed up with Easter. Oh well, I guess as long as he understands that Jesus came to Earth, died on a cross for his sins, and rose 3 days later it doesn't matter which holiday he associates it with at this point.

Just some of Kerrie's random thoughts. By the way for those of you counting we only have 8 business days left in November and then the month of December before we usher in another year.
