projects

I have taken some inspiration from my sister Lora. She has been sewing and sewed some very cute aprons. I haven't sewed my apron yet but I did wash the fabric. But I did finish a Halloween stiched bag that I have been working on or planning to work on for several years. It turned out really cute. I started sewing a snowman pillow but it needs some adjustments so maybe it will get done and posted sometime soon.

Snowshoeing January 2010

For Christmas Marc and I got new snowshoes and we went out two weekends and then Marc went out two weekends by himself. It was beautiful out there. The first time I went we figure we went about 1 mile and 3/4 in an hour and a half. The second time we went about 3 miles in a couple of hours. I am sure Marc was much faster by himself. Maybe I will get out again this weekend. It was funny we bought new snow pants and very nice warm gloves. We were shedding clothes fairly rapidly. I didn't even use my gloves most of the time. But now we know.

New Haircut

Wow I love it. My sister is the best cosmetologist ever. (Any bets how it will look tomorrow when I try to do it) I have been wanting to do a new hairdo for so long I finally did it today.

2010

Well it is a new year and has been for 16 days. I have much to be grateful for and I am going to try to post more often.

I am grateful for the beautiful house we have to live in.

I am grateful for the job that Marc has. He has been working lots and lots. Cortnee likes to complain sometimes about her dad being gone so much. I tell her she would hate it a lot worse if he were home all of the time because he didn't have a job.

I am grateful for Ashlee and Cortnee and the opportunity to be their second "mom" I don't think they know how much I appreciate them.

I just accidentally happened upon a blog and the lady was writing about turning our wants into gratitude. Her son was at the store with her and kept saying I want, I want, I want, she turned to him and said we are not going to play the I want game any more how about i am grateful for the bread in our cart, I am grateful for the milk and cereal. she talked about how it is a lifelong lesson and if we don't repeatedly remind our kids of this, it won't change.

I am grateful for the family and friends that have blogs that I am lucky enough to be able to read!
Love you all.
