Crazy Days

Things have been a little crazy around here lately. I am trying to finish up another course. This time, it's the first of the four coding courses. This presents a whole new challenge, because alot of the time, I think I have the right answers, and I discover that I don't. Learning where to find the right codes, and why they are right, is a whole new experience. I am still enjoying it though. I plan to take my final in the next day or so. I am a little anxious about it, but I know God will help me apply my knowledge. By the way, I got a 94 on the final for my last class!
I have also been in the process of repainting my study and great room. The study is finished, and I love the shade of blue that we chose. The great room is almost finished, and is a beautiful shade of red. Next, I plan to paint the dining room gold, and Rachel's room either blue or green.
I think we may be having Thanksgiving here this year for my side of the family. It will be nice because we will still be able to see John's family during the day as well. They will be right next door, so we can just walk over at some point. I am hoping that my Aunt June and Uncle Wayne will come. They are more like my grandparents than my aunt and uncle. Aunt June had surgery recently, and won't be able to cook like she normally does, so I am hoping to be able to serve her this year. She is such a precious lady! I will miss her chocolate pound cake, but I'll take her presence over cake any day.
I am so looking forward to the holidays! I love this time of year. I love decorating, preparing good food, getting gifts for others, enjoying family, the beauty of the season of Advent, teaching my kids about the birth of Jesus, and so much more. I always seem to get in the spirit of Christmas long before it gets here.
