Thanksgiving

Well, once again we have reached Thanksgiving Day. It is such a great day to remember all that the Lord has given to us. Hefty and I both have 2 jobs each, (some people don't even have one). We have each other and our families, we are both healthy, we have a place to live, we have clothes in the closet and food on the table. We are so grateful for all of these things! We have awesome friends, an awesome church family, awesome kids who we mentor for youth group, the ability to go to California last month and visit friends.....the list could go on and on!! As you are with friends and family on this Thanksgiving Day, may you be blessed.

California!

Well, after much anticipation, we were off to California on the 24th of October. The flight and everything went well, except my darling husband thought that we need to take the Wii to play also. At the security check-point, we get stopped b/c we have an electronic device. It was pretty crazy. All in all, we made it to California, and our friends picked us up at the San Fransisco airport later that day. It was such a great trip though! It was so nice to be able to connect with our friends again (some of the best in the world for putting up with us for a week) and being away from work and everyday routine. We went to San Fran for a day and hung out there, saw all the sights and everything. We went to Alcatraz Prision, which was really cool. We rode the famous trolly around town, saw the sea lions at Fisherman's Wharf, ate at the Cheesecake Factorty (some of my FAVORITES!) and also shopped a bit. We went wine-tasting too (I don't really like wine all that much, but I found some that I did like). We took a tour of a brewery (our friend is really into making some home-brew), went to the Charles Schultz Muesem (Charlie Brown) which was really cool and drove up and down the coast on High-Way 1 for a while. It was so nice out there in California! The weather was about 70 everyday and we only had rain on Friday, and Sat am as we were flying out. We finally got home last Saturday at 7 or so. It is hard to get back into reality again, but I was excited to get back to work. Also, last Sunday we took our Youth Group to Gull Meadow Farms for a hay-ride and a Corn Maze. It was a riot! The kids enjoyed themselves so so much! They also had donuts and cider for us! Well, I guess that's about it really. I will post some pictures when I can.....I am not at home so I will have to wait until I get home...
God Bless--
