Your menu sounds like it was delicious! Happy Thanksgiving!

Ummmmm

Aw thts awesome..

Sounds yummy! We had wild turkey, garlic mashed potatos, dressing, yam and apple casserole, jello salad, ambrosia, Mom's cranberry sauce(YUM), dinner rolls, pumpkin pie, gingerbread cake, and molasses cookies! (And I may have forgotten a few things!

Sound tasty. =)

Can't say that I do! But yours sounds like enough for many folks to go around. Want to share the name of this 3-star hotel? You'll probably get a survey to complete since you made your reservations on-line. Boy, oh boy, will you have a critique for them!!!!

But so glad the singing was an encouragement for you.

Ick! I bet you got a lot of good laughs though, huh? ;)

That hotel sounds horrid. But the singing probably more than made up for it! =) It would for me, I think. I've never been, but the HS Camps give me a good idea of what it might be like. =D

So sorry that the hotel was so bad. It was great to see you though, and I'm glad you guys enjoyed the singing. We would love to have you visit us sometime!!

Oh, I'm sorry! I hope you don't forget to leave a review for other people.

The singing sounds wonderful. What a fun trip!

I'm terribly sorry about the hotel. It sounds rather dreadful, on the whole. o_O The singing was probably AMAZING though, and most likely made up for it, right? :D

We go to Youth Lectures every year in Irving, Texas and it's about that many people singing, but it's not only a singing...but that sounds absolutely amazing! The hotel...not so much :(

Um, yeah the brown water does NOT sound fun. Neither does the scalding water. I wonder when the health department was there last to inspect the public disaster area. :| lol

Thank you for the birthday wishes! Did you see my sister in law, Hillary? Or meet my cousin in law, Kevin Gillins??? Glad you had such a great time. Andy & I would like to go someday.

IT is kind of crazy. :D I'll have to find some pics of Aragorn when he was a baby...then everyone will see why he became such a huge part of the family, along with the other darlings. :D :)

Yeh for your husband being home!!

It's about time. Tell Rob we all say hi.

On January 9th! I can't wait! There is a trailer, and it looks amazing!

What did he think of the house??

Glad Rob's home! I'm sure both his girls were glad to see him!!

I agree about the people in the audience for McCain's speech. I found that downright disappointing.

Huzzah! :)

Hi, Rob.

Welcome home, Rob. :)

Glad he made it home safely!!

Wonderful.

Hurray!

Glad he's home if only for a while!

Congrats on your husband getting home! I hate it when Dan is gone! I wanted to ask you where you go to church out there? I am hoping that we can find a church out there pretty quick, when we move. We should be stationed at Cherry Point--possibly, New River, but not likely.

Yay! =)

Hi there! Your sister told me you are going to be at 1000 Voices - yeah! Will you be there Fri and Sat?

Congrats on hubby getting home...I'm sure you are both excited about that. I hate when Nathan is out of town.

I plan to be there Friday evening and on Saturday. Not sure if hubby will be attending or not as he hasn't decided yet. If he attends we'll drive back and forth as it's only about an hour and a half but if he doesn't go I'll probably stay overnight in the area.

=) tell him Kristyn says hi for me please!!

I know! its crazy! Evy told us that your dad had to walk to a hotel and stay the night. Crazyness! Thanks!

I'm not sure how many they are expecting but the last email I received from Jeff said that they had over 500 registered so far. I won't be making it today but will be there for the singing tomorrow. As of today, Nathan says he is coming with but that could change at any time :) We'll drive home tomorrow night b/c of the dogs.

How awesome! Weekend get-a-ways are so good for couples. The singing sounds fabulous. Wish we could come too! I would love to see you sometime, it's been so long! I love your dining room transformation down there. Good job!

Sounds like fun. Hope you have a blast!

Andy and Jeff went to that twice, I went once with them and enjoyed it so much! I hope you have a good trip!

We are!! Can't wait to see you there!!

That sounds great! I've heard of the 1000 Voices singing, but it's rather far away. Someone gave us a song booklet or two from them though. =)

That sounds amazing! :D

Sweet! Have fun!!

I hope you have a wonderful time!

Cool! Never seen it and neither has mom!

Wow! That sounds really fun!

Looks great!

I like it!!

I love the color and the new lighting!

You've outdone yourself again! Glad you got the box and like the cards. :)

I love it! That's right-I forgot he was in California! You should be an interior decorator!

Love it! Great job.

It looks great!! Hey, I need a baby nursery painted. Maybe you can come to my house for a visit and do it! Ha! Ha!!

Awesome!

Yes everyone wore costumes except Miles b/c he didn't want to and Cody b/c he is too old in his opinion to do t or t.
We had a hot dog, couple ninjas, police officer, of course hulk and power ranger, a cowboy, vampire, bratz cat, baseball player etc. Have a great day Belle.

It is held in the Winston-Salem area on Nov. 7 and 8. The main singing is on Saturday afternoon. The website with all of the info is www.1000voices.org. Check it out. It would be great to see you there.

Yay!! That sounds great!! I can't wait to see you!

I have that same corner thingy! But with the lack of room in our apartment it is currently serving as a towel/washcloth holder in our bathroom. :P

That looks fabulous! :)

That is AMAZING!!! I love Ella Enchanted!!

What a difference paint can make! The dining room looks awesome, sweetheart! Rob will think he wandered into someone else's house.

You sound like me - you know what you want, but you want it now! I need to remind myself, as you are reminding yourself, baby steps. How exciting you have a new classroom. It's exciting to start fresh. I know too about starting with a book other than the first in the series. That's not always the best choice. You want the students challenged.

Hunter made me feel so good Wednesday night telling me he was glad to be in my class. And after class I learned from Jeremy that he was surprised Tyler did as well as he did because he had had such a difficult time getting him out of the house to go to class Wed. night. But wait till you hear the reason: it was because he did not have his homework done. I just thought that was such an amazing breakthrough for Tyler - he felt bad for not having his homework!!!
