Thankful for...good times with friends! Becca was home for Thanksgiving, so we got together for some food and games, but mainly just to catch up with each other! We were even able to skype with Annie in Florida...we had a great time!
Thankful for...putting up the Christmas tree together! The last 4 years, it's pretty much been my mom and I putting up the Christmas tree, but this is the first year Scott and Aubrey are home at this time! We only got the tree and lights up, but will keep working on it soon!
Thankful for...reliving childhood! At a second-best sale this morning, I found a game that Scott and I loved to play when we were younger called "Hands Down" - I picked it up for 50 cents (and I'm going to make him play it too)! :)
Thankful for...a crisp, Winter day.
Thankful for...another early morning sunrise.
Thankful for...college basketball starting! MSU is ranked #2 and Michigan #7 - it should be a great season for both!
Thankful for...celebrating Joel's 18th birthday! 18!!!! Oh my goodness...and his decision to attend Michigan State University next year! Wooooohoooooooo!!!! :)
Thankful for...a gorgeous sunrise over Lake Apio, right out our backyard.
Thankful for...staff at school willing to pitch in to help today. Our school has been in the process of getting our roof replaced, and because of the huge amount of rain Holland got from November 5 and overnight (and a clogged drain from the roof), the ceiling started leaking. When we got to school on Wednesday, the water was just pouring out of the light fixtures, ceiling tiles were bulging from the weight of the water, and there was 1-2 inches of water on the floor. Fortunately, my end of the building was not affected, but other teacher's classrooms were leaking and the carpet soon became soaked...we all tried to help those teachers move their furniture to prevent damage, but school had to close for Wednesday and Thursday to allow a cleaning crew to come in to help. Thank goodness we were able to open back up on Friday!
