Wedding Gifts

My family already has two weddings in the making for next summer and to top it all off they are exactly two weeks apart. Trying to find the perfect Wedding Gifts for my cousins should be quite easy. Checking into gold or silver bullion is where I am going to start.

As for Courtney and Meridith planning their weddings, I wonder if they know about this wedding website that I have found called WeddingChannel.com. This website has been around since 1997, helping brides and grooms plan for their very special day. WeddingChannel.com is there to help make wedding plans as stress-free as possible. They offer free interactive planning tools, local vendor guides, patented online registry, and many other wonderful options. Visit them today to get you on the right path when planning your wedding.

Christian Band

Our church service yesterday was dedicated to the christian band, Higher Power. I had never heard of Higher Power or their music before yesterday. I am really glad that they were able to come and perform for our congregation. They are a quartet and were very fun to listen to. Cole and I enjoyed their music so much we decided to purchase their Christmas CD. We listened to it right when we got home and we all were singing along. I think music is a great way to help spread Gods word.

Blackhawk CQC Holsters

I have to honestly say when it comes to any type of gun I am very unfamiliar, even though there are plenty of them around my home. When it comes to handguns, I typically think of the people that have chosen to protect us from the "bad guys", so when I heard about the Blackhawk CQC Holsters I found it really neat. Recently I came across a website that explained how this particular holster worked and I found it very interesting. The design is different from traditional thumb break holsters, which causes slower draws and makes for harder re-holstering. The Blackhawk CQC Holster allows for you to draw your weapon using a normal drawing motion, allowing your trigger finger to be beside the holster body. This is done by their patented SERPA Lock. If this sounds as interesting to you as it did to me, then visit LA Police Gear to get more information.

Vacation Day

Tuesday, December 9, 2008 was suppose to be a day at home for me. I had this day planned for about three weeks and it couldn't get here fast enough. I was going to spend the day doing what I wanted, just me, myself, and I. However, Monday blew in some bad news for me. It started off in the afternoon with a call from the school letting me know they were getting out early because of the bad snow storm that was moving in. Of course with Iowa weather nothing is ever as simple as just snow, we had to get some ice first, then snow along with some very strong winds. This almost always means no school the next day. Yep, that's right, Mom didn't get her day home alone, I was stranded there with my four beautiful children and husband.... some day, whenever that my be, I will get a day to myself:)

The Weather Outside . . .

is frightful, to quote the famous song. It is so very cold outside and Winter has only just begun. It seems that our furnace has run nonstop for the past couple days. If I heard the weatherman right last night I believe our temperatures will be below zero today, that is when you add in the wind chill. I hate to wish time to go by so fast, however I do have to say I am already awaiting Spring.

It did snow some last night, which means Becca just had to go outside this morning. It didn't seem to matter that I told her it was to cold to go out, she still insisted. I think it took her longer to put on her snow pants, boots, coat, mittens, and hat, versus the amount of time she actually stayed outside for. I guess I remember doing the same thing as a kid also. All the excitement to go play in the snow, only to find out it is way to cold.

Nikon Ultimate Package

Next weekend, Saturday, December 6, is opening shotgun season for deer in Iowa. John and Cole can hardly wait to get out there and get that big buck they have been tracking all fall. Not only has John watching for this large buck, so are his buddies Chuck and Dale, they all think he will look so nice up on the wall next to the deer that was shot last year. I think the perfect accessory for this big weekend would have to be Nikon Ultimate Hunter's Package Promo. This package includes ProStaff 3-9x40 Riflescope with BDC Reticle, Prostaff Laser Rangefinder, Silent Technology Rangefinder Case, Mastering a Long-Range Shot with BDC DVD, and a $50 Nikon gift card.

Sometimes I Wonder. . .

what Alli is thinking when she give me her goofy little smile or when she looks at me with a scowl and rolls her eyes at me. Alli is my 11 year old daughter, who is Autistic. She is non-verbal and can sometimes get frustrated when we don't figure out what she wants fast enough. At times when I watch Alli and she is watching all of us, I wonder what it is she is thinking? Is she glad she got us for her family or does she think we are all just a bunch of goof balls. Does she know exactly what she wants to say, but just can't connect the wires to get the message out? I know how much she loves us by all the hugs and kisses we receive and I'm sure she knows how much we love her. I just sometimes wonder where her mind is and what she is thinking.

Turbocharger

My son Cole has been cruising the internet looking for his dream car. He will be old enough to drive in just a few short months. Like any other boy the faster the car the better, not to mention all of the cool accessories that are a "must" with any really fast car. One website that I have found that offers great things to upgrade your cars with options such as vw turbo, superchargers, turbochargers, and nose covers is at turbochargerpros.com. Adding a turbocharger, which improve horsepower, torque, and more, is simply done by forcing air into the system. Turbochargerpros.com is the best place to go when looking for air induction systems, not only for the great prices you will receive, but they also offer a wide selection. When looking to add a turbo to you car I recommend visiting turbochargerpros.com.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Today we had our second Thanksgiving dinner in just as many days. Tonight I feel so very full and can't quite imagine when I would ever want to eat again. Why is it on holidays all we do is eat, eat, and eat even more. Everyone I talk they all say the same thing, even if they're full and can't possible eat another bite, we all still find room to over indulge. All the food we had was very, very good and the company in which my family and I shared our meal with was even better.

Memphis Shades

John and I have quite a few friends who spend their summers riding motorcycles. I love to hear about all the road trips they take on their bikes and the sights that they see. No matter if they ride a Harley or Honda they are always buying some type of new accessory such as helmets, memphis shades, or boots. For anyone who loves to ride motorcycles as much as my friends, I have found a great new website cruisercustomizing.com. Visit them today for all your biking needs.

Happy Thanksgiving. . .

. . . and I cannot wait to eat the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pies, and everything else. This is one of my favorite days of the year. I love it because it's nice to be able to get together with family and catch up on all that has gone on over the year and to also hear about what may be happening the next year. Hope everyone has a wonderful time with their family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving.
