A Better Week?

Well, no head wounds this week! That's a bonus. Here are the highlights of our week to catch you up:

• I officially joined Weight Watchers and went to my first meeting on Saturday. I'm a good 10 pounds over a healthy weight and I can't seem to get there on my own. It's almost our 10 year anniversary and I want to be a healthy weight and size by then!
  

• We sold our old camcorder on Craigslist since we bought an awesome mini DVD recorder/camcorder at Sam's on Black Friday. While I was selling the camcorder on Craigslist, I also noticed an ad for a huge collection of a Talking Dora House for sale. It came with the pool, the figures, the furniture, the van, etc. Awesome Christmas suprise for the girls!
  

• We got sick of Charter Cable jerking us around and just switched to Direct Satalite TV through Qwest. Our internet will be through Qwest too.

• We've been staying up pretty late the last several nights to get ready for Christmas and our upcoming visit to Nate's family this weekend. Last minute gifts to buy, presents to wrap, things to start packing all along with our usual stuff. Tuesday night I worked out at the DAHLC, did some more Christmas shopping, and around 10:30 started our big grocery shopping. I got home at midnight and decided only to put away the freezer/fridge items.

• Tonight after my WW meeting, we're going to take the girls to Savers to pick out gifts for each other. Kayla already make wrapping paper to wrap whatever she'll find in. For some reason, when I told her she can buy her sister a present, she got huge eyes and said, "I think we should get her an huge electronic submarine!" Wow, good luck finding a tiny version of what's in her head at Savers!

Anyway, in the chaos of the season, it's still important to take some time to remember the real reason for the season. I was listening to the radio in the car last night and the speaker said, "If we don't remember Jesus around Christmastime, then chances are, we're not going to remember Him the rest of the year either."

Here's the last picture I took of the girls. I e-mailed it to some of you. They are snuggling in our bed while watching a movie and I was getting some ironing done...
