Weekend Update

• Thanksgiving holiday week is here! That means no school and a trip to Tennessee.
• We leave on Tuesday to see Pattie's mom and my parents in TN. We love this trip and thankful that everyone lives close enough to enjoy the holidays together. We will return on Sat.
  
• We started pulling out our Christmas stuff on Thursday night. We want to be decorated before we leave so we won't have to do it when we return.
• Camille's birthday was Friday and we have celebrated all weekend. She is quite a girl. Her genuine excitement is a joy to see. We kept her on Friday so we had some special things for her but the real party was on Saturday night at Rachele's with friends and family. It was a lot of fun.
• Had breakfast with Bob Saturday morning. Two men eating Deluxe Breakfasts at McDonald's, discussing church, life, family, finances, etc. is a good thing. It was good to share things on my heart as well as hear Bob's thoughts on these issues.
• A Realtor called and wants to show our house to an out of state client coming in for the holidays. His client saw our house on the internet and specifically asked to see it. That's encouraging. Now it has to be ready to show when we leave.
• The weird thing was that the Realtor was Mark Phelps. I used to work in the landscaping business with him back in 1989 -90. Haven't seen him in a long while.
• We are going to The Pointe Church this morning.
• We are having a family Thanksgiving Dinner at Jenny's today. We usually don't do Thanksgiving together. We usually all go see other family in different directions but this year we decided to share it together even though we are all still heading in different directions on Thanksgiving Day. I love my family and am really looking forward to this afternoon. I hope Ben makes it in from college for it.
• We are taking Sadie with us again and will also have Camille from Thursday night until Sunday. Ought to be fun!
