I Would Like to Thank........

The Warrens for the wonderful Thanksgiving Day we had last night; the AMAZING food, great fellowship, and for sharing their mice problem! ;-) Love you Guys!! Yep, we have mice in our garage!! We don't know how many yet but, today we found droppings EVERYWHERE and Celeste heard something scurrying around! After finding the droppings, I put a glob of peanut butter on a piece of paper and left it on the garage floor. This evening I checked the peanut butter and I could see that some was gone! UUUGGGHHH!! So, we have about five traps in our garage and I am not looking forward to checking them in the morning. Hopefully, this infestation won't last long. Again, thank you to the Warrens for sharing their love for mice with us!! ;-)


UPDATE:

I would like you to meet Mr. Mouse #1!! We found out that mice do indeed love cheese!! ;-) The Mouse Cube is supposed to be the "Humane" way to get rid of mice so, my Dad let him go in the backyard. I hope he doesn't come back!

Update #2: We have caught 3 mice in 12 hours!!! WOW!!

Finally Some Time To Blog

Wow, so much has happened since my last post. My family and I have been very busy! As you may know, we moved about two months ago (has it been two months already?) and have completely unpacked everything. YES!! The move itself wasn't terrible nor was the unpacking; the hardest task has been getting our yard in shape. It will take some time to fight all the weeds that have taken over, especially the STICKER WEEDS!!!!!! The saying that comes to mind is “Pull one, two grow in its place". Oh yeah, and the scripture “take dominion over the land". Those weeds are the most painful things to pull. Ouch!!! Well, enough about weeds, I'll tell you about the decorating! It has been lots of fun decorating this house because we know this is where we will be, Lord willing, forever. We have curtains up in the living room, curtain rods up in some of the bedrooms, and a beautiful new dinning room table that comfortably seats all nine of us! AAAHHH, this house is going to look gorgeous when we're done. And I just want to say “Thank You" to everyone who helped make this move smooth and easy. You have been a blessing to our family!

Yea!!!! I have less than two months to go until I can get my Driver's License, which MUST mean I am almost 16 Years Old!!!!!! :) :) :) Can't wait!!

We have already begun school and I am actually excited because this is going to be an important year for me. I will be taking the SAT's, so I will mentally prepare for that. I also have a couple of new subjects, so needless to say, I shouldn't be bored. HeHe!

I have just begun to play offertory at church, and will hopefully do so once a month. I am hoping that in doing so it will help me get over my nervousness. The next song I plan to play is How Great Thou Art. This arrangement is beautiful, although I still may tweak it a little.

Well, I think that's about it.........untill next time! :)

Oh, I almost forgot! Celeste sprained her foot falling about half way down the stairs. Poor Celeste! :( Please pray for quick healing!
