Update!!!

Hey there, I have been so busy I haven't blogged in awhile. So much has been happening. I'll start with the weekend after Thanksgiving...Jeph and I had volunteered to help at the quiz meet saturday so we were there all day being quiz masters and Jeph had to lead worship, so from 7am-5pm we were at the camp for that. Then with the storm coming in...we had noone at our Civil War party...so our friends Matt and Crissy came over and we had a steak dinner and watched the BEAVERS beat the Ducks!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!! So Sunday was full as always and then the storm hit. We ended up driving down the coast with friends and experienced some awesome waves and wind...of course amazing Thai food! We got home and decided to watch a movie"Facing the Giants" (great movie!!!) By 11pm no power and it did not come back on for 2 days. We played games by candlelight, cooked on the bbq and were cooped up with my mom and dad(in law), Alex(exchange student), Scott and Jess(brother and sis in law)and a niece and nephew...it was fun but exhausting and tiring. :) Thank goodness for family to hang out with during the storm! ;)
Once the storm was over the week was met with my serious cold...so I missed bible study X2 and a Christmas party and the weekend was no time to rest. Friday we were supposed to head over to Portland(date night to a hockey game) we did not go. Saturday we went to Portland for my grandpa Bobs memorial, then it was off to Sarah(sis in laws)birthday dinner at Reinlander...all while sick. :( To top it off Sunday we were supposed to go to the Seahawks game...but I was so sick. You know how sick I must be if I don't go to a Seahawks game!!!
By Monday I was glad the weekend was over and very bummed about missing the Seahawks game. :(
On a good note...we got our tree decorated and lights are up and it looks and smells like Christmas. :) It turns out our young adults bible studies are gonna have a Christmas party and I'm so glad. Especially since I wanted to do it but I have no time to plan it myself. So the next week and a half should be festive.
It's Wednesday morning and I'm not really sick anymore....last night we had dinner with Scott,Jess, and kids...we got to hang out and it was so nice. :)
The rest of the week is busy but I'm feeling optimistic about it. I will post some holiday pics soon!
Have a good week!
