Another great Weekend

It was another Wonderful weekend. Friday night we went to Bowling Green and got our cabinets picked out and went to Lowes to get the paint. It is getting sooo close now. Today the kitchen is being painted and Jeremy is going to start putting in the cabinets. Atleast at that point I can start to put somethings up. Then we will have countertops and the tile to put down on the floor. We are making progress!! We picked up lil Raigan while in BG and brought her home to stay all night with us. It was a little bit of a chore, keeping her out of the kitchen and dining room but we put up barricades and it worked. On Saturday we took her to Nannies to play for a while so we could get somethings done on the house. We cleaned up and hauled some things off and actually did get a lot done. That night we went to BG to go to the movies with Bridgette, Josh and Brooke. Bridgette and I made plans weeks ago for us to get together and go watch Four Christmas's. It was a VERY FUNNY and good movie. We went to O'Charleys after the movie so I could watch some of the Dallas game and we could grab a bite to eat. We had a great time getting to catch up with the GENTS! We always have lots of fun when we're together but it had been a while since we were able to get together. Even despite the Cowboys loss, it was a good day.
Sunday we spent most of the day at church and it was another good time. We had done an Angel Tree and had an afternoon Christmas service for the kids mainly but the adults had a good time too. We sang Christmas Carols, read the Christmas story and Santa and Mrs Clause came to visit and the kids got to get their gifts. It was great to see them all so happy and excited to see Santa. The gifts from the Angel Tree they didn't open. I would rather them have them on Christmas morning to open. It may be all they will get. It was a very humbling experience along with very rewarding. It was yet another reminder of what the holidays are really about. Christmas started with God giving us the greatest gift ever and when we have the oppurtunity it should be a priority of ours to give to others. I have realized that the joy I get from it is probably almost as great as the joy they get when recieving the gifts.
Today is my last day at work for a while and I am looking forward to some time off. I cant wait for Christmas! Only 3 more days!! Oh yeah and I didnt' mention that, yes, Jeremy n I have already been exchanging gifts. One Saturday night and one Sunday night. I told you...We never can wait til Christmas. The best ones are still to come though and those will not be opened til Christmas Eve atleast!!!
