Giving Thanks...

for the precious gifts God has given to me. The greatest being salvation through Jesus Christ, my husband who is so good to me, my two sweet girls, our families, our church family, our group of friends, home.... where does the list end?
This Thanksgiving was different for us - with my mom and Aunt Coreen in CO seeing 3 tiny babies :) and most of Clinton's family either jetted or getting ready to jet to Australia. We had a wonderful day at Aunt Lou's with family and friends. Aunt Lou knows just how to add  little touches to make any occasion extra special, right down to hedge apples and buckeyes brought from Ohio to make my new s-i-l Bethany feel at home on her first holiday away from her family!
God truly is SO GOOD, so good to me...

So close...

to being done! This is the "frustratingly close" part, so I've been told by everyone else who has built or remodeled their home :) I have to agree, and add excitingly, frustratingly close! These finishing touches are the fun part for me. Right now we are waiting on the painters to come do the trim and cabinets. Until then there isn't too much that can be done. Hopefully within a month we can be in - just in time to settle in for the winter and enjoy some much-needed family time. I can't wait!
