Sheesh!

OK-- I have now tried so many sinus medications I could likely become a spokesperson for what DOES NOT work! When is this ever gonna go away?
On another note, I am so ready for the holidays. The whole Fall season is my absolute favorite. Some thing about the colors and crsip air makes me so nastalgic. I am determined to go all out for Christmas this year. I usually just throw together mismatched decorations and call it a day, but I really want good quality new stuff. I feel like I'm at some kind of growing up stage. Like early in marriage and 20's it's fine to have all kind of hand-me-downs and decorate with whatever is available...but eight years later and living in a nice house makes me want it to be pretty and have nice things. SO, mom and I will be shopping tomorrow! I love being able to spend time with her, now that she feels better.
I'm also really enjoying teaching my crazy class and momming toddlers. I can't believe that Gralynn will be 4 in few weeks and Gaines will be 2 in another month. I talked to a friend the other day and we were talking about "done" having kids. I think for me, having a boy and girl makes it easier to be done, but I also am ready to enjoy going places with them. I love watching them grow and learn. But then I think if I KNEW I could have twins next time, I might want more. I really don't want just three and for me, the whole pregnancy thing is such a health concern. BUT whatever the Lord wants for my life--I will embrace.
I've been doing a devotional by Beth Moore, called 90 Days with the One and Only. It's really opening my eyes to Jesus, the man. I mean, He is a REAL live person who experienced all that we experience just b/c God wanted us to be able to relate to a personal God. I can't get over how amazing that is! I have always loved Jesus and believed in Him, but I'm getting to know Him more and I'm falling in love with Him. I have a god friend who is so knowledgable and passionate about her faith. I never knew how she got that way, but I;m beginning to understand. I can only hope that my children will grow to love Him daily as I have!
