We Made It Back....

Anyway, I hope you get the idea!

This by far is the cutest thing we have done in a long time at school! Our kids got "elfed!" for our holiday door contest! They are so cute! It's kind of fuzzy! I am trying to hold out until after Christmas to replace my camera that is only working at 50% (the last drop did her in!)
Yeah! Our Christmas tree is up! Not decorated, because notice the elf is in the tree! And we can't touch the elf! We are trying to get everything ready to go up this weekend!
This little guy is the BEST thing ever! He was all the rave in Tennessee. To be honest, I had never heard of him before,- needless to say he showed up on our doorstep Tuesday all the way from the North Pole in his own little special box, with a book that explains his story "Elf on a Shelf"! It has been great excitement as he moves around here! B and M have told everybody about him and even took the book to school today! It's so neat to see them excited!
Oh the drive Sunday was LONG! Lots of traffic through Atlanta, but all in all it was certainly worth the trip! We had a great time in Franklin visiting family, looking at property, and playing with my nephew and his best friend! We were sad to go Sunday! Some fun moments of our trip included Derek winning the "high" score on the basketball game at Chuck E Cheese- M, B, and my nephew thought that was just the coolest thing ever! I had never seen so many ladybugs before- they were everywhere on the property! It was so quiet and peaceful there!

It's hard to believe we are already at Thursday night! Just eleven more days of school to go, and then we have a nice long break! (A much needed break might I add!) I had considered traveling around a bit during the long break, but NO!! I am staying put- cleaning the house, sleeping, reading some good books, and of course really stepping up to complete that dissertation!

My goals for next year include: 1. Learning to say NO and not feel guilty, 2. As my principal would say "Let it go", and 3. Get back to having some really good times- No stress, no school, now worries!
" No one has ever seen this, and no one has ever heard about it. No one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him!" 1 Corinthians 2:9
