October Project Goals

-
  • Finish up a website project I have been working on the past month
  • Paint a small accent wall in Ashlyn's room for her "ASHLYN" letters to go on (it was driving me crazy that they didn't stand out much)
  • Re-arrange her room for winter (we usually move her bed away from the window that has a leak)
  • Organize my file folders in my office and get ready for 2009 files to start
  • Decorate the school table area (I got a new table this weekend on craigslist that is so much nicer and moved it to a wall where now I can hand a white board/bulletin board, etc)
  • Finish my laundry room project (still needs to be taped, joint compounded, and painted)
  • Finish re-doing our personal website for Christmas card/letter (waiting for new pictures for that - we had to re-schedule because of rain yesterday)
  • Make Ashlyn a Princess Leia dress for Halloween (I bought a white sheet and I am all ready)
  • Start Ashlyn's house project with her at the next 4H meeting
  • Go through fall/winter clothes by this weekend
  • Call the siding guy to postpone our siding project until after the election (John said we would know a lot more about the economy once the election happens and then we will know if we want to spend most of our savings on that project)
  • Finish up b-day parties (2 more to go next week) - planning, cake decorating, and wrapping
  • Organize my garage a little - hanging bikes up for winter and reorganizing some storage tubs
  • Really work hard with Caleb on speech stuff - he has started a new thing - a stutter, so I want to give him a little more scheduled time with only me to allow him to talk slowly

In addition to these projects this month, I managed to schedule dentist appointments for 5 of us, flu shot/well visits for 3 of the kids and a dr. appt for me. November is looking pretty slow!

Whew! That list will definitely keep you busy! I ought to make myself one. I have it in my head, but I need to write it all down so I can remember and be more motivated to get it done! Thanks for the little nudge I needed.

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
