My list of thanks…

Posted on November 27, 2008 by Laurie Blundell

Jonathan posted his list of what he was thankful for so now it’s my turn.

I’m thankful for:
* My wonderful Husband who does more for me than he will ever know and loves me for me.
* My family who also loves me for me
* The ability to love and serve our God without having to risk my life for doing it.
* My doggy who brings me great joy, just as much as she annoys me.
* Electricity (our power just went out)
* My friends, who mean the world to me and life wouldn’t be the same without them.
* Our house that keeps us warm in the winter, cold in the summer and dry in the rain.
* Our cars that get us around wherever we want to go
* My health – even though it hasn’t been the best, it can always be worse.
* The fact that anytime I want ice cream I can just go to our freezer and get it…or the store.
* My camera, so I can keep memories that will be with me for a lifetime.
* Life!

and many, many more things!!

What are you thankful for?

Palin on SNL

Posted on November 9, 2008 by Laurie Blundell

Jonathan found this video today and I’m not sure how but I haven’t seen it. It must have been the weekend I fell asleep during SNL. Anyway, it’s hilarious so I thought I’d share it! And yes that is Sarah Palin and not Tina Fey.

Every 4 years

Posted on November 4, 2008 by Laurie Blundell

Every 4 years I dread the election! Especially this time around–I don’t really like either of the candidates but I did my duty and voted. I hate all the politics and how petty the candidates and their campaigns can get, oh and don’t forget all the dumb TV commercials. Then there’s the uneducated American’s who are voting for someone simply because its “the fad” right now or all their friends are voting for them, when they have no clue as to what this person stands for. I’m not saying they shouldn’t vote, they have every right to….I’m simply saying they should read up and find out what the person stands for and if they agree with them first. The only thing I like about this election are all the SNL sketches! So all this to say don’t forget to go out and VOTE!

It’s November!!

Can you believe it, the year is almost over–2 more months! That’s craziness. This year has flown by and honestly I don’t know where it went. It’s also been a while since I posted anything on here…it’s been neglected. Not a whole lot has been going on the last few weeks. Jonathan and I started our new small group on Saturday nights at our house. We’ve had a good time and are getting to know some new people, which is good for me because it’s difficult to meet new people…simply because I’m not as outgoing as say, my husband. ha. Anyway, we went camping a few weeks ago with Tim and Kara, and Izzy and Presley (that made for an interesting trip). Lets just say, a dog who shall remain nameless didn’t sleep more than about an hour the entire night. Anyway, other than that, we had a great time.

We kept Jake and Brooklyn last Friday night for my brother and sister-in-law. They are definitely growing up. Jake read most of the time (just like his dad) and Brooklyn chased Presley around the house and backyard most of the time.
We did carve some pumpkins with them and that was fun.

Other than that we haven’t done a whole lot, a lot of relaxing, which I personally love! We have manged to keep ourselves busy with separate projects though. I manage to keep myself busy everyday coming up with a new photo idea for my 365 days project on Flickr. Go check them out and let me know of some good ideas because I’m starting to run out! Jonathan has joined this writing thing for national novel writing month , basically he writes a novel within the month of november–crazy! It’ll be an interesting month, that’s for sure. Well, I’m off to find an interesting photo idea…happy November peeps!
