Today was a pretty relaxing day at work although I was a wee bit discouraged about something a friend told me last night. So I went to work with a heavy heart. Kind of sad throughout the day with little bits of more bad news. Had lunch with that friend and it was nice.
At about 4:00 pm 3 little girls arrived in my office and asked if they could plug in their cd player and play the music.......in the window. They asked me to open the window and put the cd player in the window and play the music loud so they could dance outside in the snow. So I did. The window was frozen shut so I borrowed a pair of gloves from one of the little girls and we proceeded to bang on the window until it became un-stuck. And the girls ran outside and danced and danced. And it was beautiful. And it brought such Christmas joy to my heart.

I have a tree!!!
A Most Perfect and Beautiful Two Days
Yesterday Justin got a licence to be a pastor. It was a beautiful ceremony. I am very proud of Justin! He still has much studying to do, but he will do it! Then he gave the sermon and told about his life and how God called him to be a pastor when he was 13. It was an awsome day!
He and Davi drove the night before 7.5 hours from Spokane to Enterprise after having been at Disneyland for a week. So they were tired. Davi has that "GLOW" that pregnant women get!! And she is starting to get a little pooch.......mind you...a very tiny pooch. But she is very proud of it nonetheless! My goodness, I am not even pregnant and I have a bigger pooch than she does! Wonder how she will feel about it in 7 months...........hope she likes it cause I want at least 18 grandchildren.Tonight I went to have tacos with Johnny T and a lady came up to me and said I look just like Julie Christie. Of course I have no idea who that is, so I googled photos and thought "So THAT"S what I would look like if I dropped 50 lbs. and put on a bikini!"Then I got home and what did I find but the most perfect beautiful Christmas tree on the porch! I thought I would not get to have a tree this year. But there it was and I have my ex-hubby to thank for it! I am so happy! I danced all over the house and texted all my friends to tell them I have a tree! Now...what do I do with it? I think I am suppose to add water. Where is the hose?
So what was turning into a sad and ba-hum bug (NO ONE tell Nick Bently this) holiday, has turned to a beautiful weekend of Christmas miracles and joy!

And the best part was that the girl trying to get my ex husband wasn't there so that made the day even better!!!
Pat offered to get me a Christmas tree. he is suppose to pick Ashley up in a few minutes so we will see if he got one or not! Otherwise...no Christmas tree in this house.

I have to do it once a year!
Drive through a total whiteout to go shopping! It seems to happen every year and I end up thinking, "What was I thinking?!". Of course when I start out I always think, "no problem". Oh well. Wallowa County has been covered in white for a few days. Although it is beautiful, it is much more beautiful looking at it from the inside of the house, wrapped in a cozy blanket, drinking a nice hot cup of cocoa, and reading a good book!
Well, this white-out wasn't so bad because I knew the road. I don't like the white-outs I have driven through coming home from Walla Walla or Lewiston. But Ashley and I survived and we are home and now her Christmas shopping is complete!
Today Ashley is going to get a Christmas tree with her dad. But that isn't the most exciting news of the day! Yes, the most exciting news is that I will be going to church here pretty quick to watch a special dedication for Justin. He has been studying to be a pastor and has gotten far enough along in his studies that he can now marry and bury and I don't know what all. So the church is giving him a certificate and who knows what all. I will write more later on what happens! Oh how wonderful to have three kids that love God with all their hearts!!
