Can you believe I filled up my mini-van today for $27.00? Absolutely Crazy. Crazy Good. I wish I could stock up, buy some big tank and store up enough for the next 20 years or so. (but that might be a fire hazard to have in my back yard.)
Heads Up! For those of you checking your mail everyday, just hoping and waiting for a Christmas card from us, well this year we are doing something different. We are going green. We will be doing all Christmas letter/cards/photos by way of email or through this blog. So you can stop running to your mail boxes checking for our card! :)
Snow... sure is pretty, but I think we have enough.
Dishwashers... ours died the end of October. It was old, but worked great, until the day it died! We did the old fashion method for over a month, but thankfully got a new one installed a few days ago. We shopped around, so many to choose from, we seriously bought the cheapest good one we could get. We found one with the basic good features, no bells and whistles, but got it really cheap. And it works GREAT. I can not imagine a dishwasher that cost $1,000 more working any better than ours did. Thank you God, and Thank you Mom.
Water... Drink more, it's good for you!
Christmas Shopping is not really on my radar this year. I've done a tiny bit. And I have a tiny bit left to do. The Christmas budget is small, so it helps not to think about it. The more you get out in the stores or look through all the sale flyers, the more things you see and think, oh so and so would love that, or gee I want that! So my plan is simple, don't think about it, don't go out to the stores and don't look through the flyers, and just focus on family gatherings and what we can do as a family to help others and thank God everyday that we are healthy, that all our bills are paid and that we both have great, fulfilling jobs.
God is Faithful, I am thankful, Merry Christmas!

Sadly, Caleb wanted all the same brand appliances when we built this place so we have one of those dishwasher that cost over $1,000 and it doesn't work as wonderuflly as my cheap $100 - $200 dollar one we had in the trailer we moved from.....
lesson learned? hope so, but probably not :)
