Nuts and Bolts

I realize that it has been a long time since I last wrote. Not much has been happening lately. Don finally got his license about a month ago which has relieved a lot of low-lying stress in my life. My girls are growing like weeds and its so exciting. Thanksgiving was last week...Happy belated Thanksgiving by the way. I got new shoes...two pairs...one is my first pair of stelleto heels. I'm looking forward to both the end of this year and the beginning of the new one.

I'm hoping to go to our midwinter conference in February. Its going to cost about $1050 to go. Right now I just can't part with that sort of money in my YFC account. If anyone has an extra grand (or part of an extra grand) layin' around...send me a check with 'Kelly's Midwinter Conference' on it and mail it to YFC: YFC; PO Box 2678; Grand Rapids MI 49501. I know, that's not the address you're used to BUT YFC is moving yet again...the building we're leasing is sold and we sought the Lord about staying (which is our legal right) or leaving (which would promote better community relations) and we foudn the Lord to lead us away from Lousma Dr. We're happy about it and God lead us to a good place.

Since it is after Thanksgiving, I give full permission to all for the installation of Christmas Decorations if they so desire. We have now looked upon ourselves, our lives, and the world around us and found things to be thankful for so we may now look ahead to the blessing that CHRISTmas affords: the birth of our Lord and Savior. You may now commence the putting up of fancy and colorful lights, the decorating of an evergreen, the silly little mistletoes because I know you can't live without them Nae, and the building of miniture cities because you like to have control Kelly. All of your presents can be wrapped and placed under that evergreen, please refrain from putting your stockings too close to the fire. Also, be mindful of overloading sockets as is a holiday tradition for many, this is a grave fire hazzard. Don't forget that Nativity set and place it in a good place as it does keep us grounded. And for the love of Christ...Don't stand for the shift to 'happy holidays' say it with pride: "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

(*Sigh*)

I think that's all I have. Be safe, Be good, and if that can't happen, at lest don't get caught!

Attention SUB Clubbers!!

Well, its that time of our lives where we plan reunions. What is this....it will (I suppose) be our five year reunion from most of our graduations. This MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND we are planning a reunion (Josiah and I and whoever else wants to join in). The dates are May 23-26, 2008 so mark your calendars!! We're planning on Eastern Ohio because Jo has a place large enough that we wouldn't have to pay for housing. I can bring along two tents that both sleep 8 people each (let me know if I need to bring both). So much to be had...please plan to come!! Oh yeah, and tell Alan and Carol, I hear they don't blog. They live in Southern California so stop by their place and let them know if you live in the area.

More details to come

Well, I hope ya'll had a Happy Holloween and that all the candy was safe and all. I wish to wish you a Happy Reformation Day too! ...Just as important.

Not much is going on in my life. My car payments are fabulous! ...mostly because they drive better than my non-car payments and there is an assurance that I'll never have to deal with that body shop again.

We (YFC YG) have now sold just over 200 Yonkers Community Day coupon books. For $5 you get a $10 off coupon for any single item in the store over $10, 8- 20% off coupons on various items, one $30 off Clark shoes that don't ever go on sale, and one other bonus buy of a 3-tray entertainment buffet server for $49.97 instead of its normal price of $100. Good buy eh? I might stop in and shop too! Christmas shopping on saturday is on my list of things to do.

It is my goal this year, to be done shopping by Thanksgiving. I've never been a day-after-Thanskgiving-day shopper before but last year my husband and I went just so we (I) could see the craziness. AND it was crazy! we got a great deal on a badly needed winter coat for me and him too so it wasn't all bad. We got tons of shopping done and we saved tons of money and were back in bed within an hour and a half! I was proud. Never again. Gotta do somethings once right?

Well, I should go, work becons...
