Gathering #11

As I looked out my window this morning and saw the snow falling from the sky I took a minute to just watch and listen. I heard nothing when I opened my window but what I saw made me smile. I have nothing to huge to do today and I can walk to and from work. I am blessed!!! Tonight I am watching a Charlie Brown Christmas, and Prep & Landing. What is better then Christmas movies, and snow. My shopping is finished and almost all wrapped and under the tree. I think that it is finally starting to feel, smell, sound, and look like Christmas. So as I sit and write this post I think of all the memories of Christmas past. I remember moments, and smells. What do you like most about Christmas? What is your favorite memory from Christmas? And most importantly Do you feel BLESSED?

Gathering #10

Last night I fell asleep sitting in a rocking chair. Maybe that is a sign that I need to slow down. I think I run at the speed of light and when I do finally sit my body gives out on me. This last weekend I worked 23 hours in two days. I tried to be nice to my guests and to wish them all a Merry Christmas, but at about hour 20 I had lost the spirit of Chritsmas myself. So as I sat down Sunday night to listen to the Christmas devotional with my family, I didn't make it through the 1st song and I was gone.

Do you think I need to slow down?

Do you think that I need to take a breather?

Do you think I need to find the Christmas spirit and live it even on a dead run?

I think the answer to all these things is Yes. I am re-evaluating my life and my attitude. TODAY I am keeping the Christmas spirit in my heart and in my life. And maybe if I slip you could give me a nice reminder to be kinder and more loving.

Oh and Santa if you are reading this.

I THINK I NEED A VACATION!!!

Gathering #9

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!! This years Halloween was one of the best. On Thursday Sam, and Ash came to see me at school (I was a witch for the day). We watched the Halloween parade. On Friday I went to the ward party and yes I dressed up again. This time I just put on tons of makeup and wore black and orange. Kinda scary!
I carved 2 pumpkins the scary witch lady from Sleeping Beuty and Mickey Mouse.
Gotta love Disney

And Saturday we had the annual Mills Family Fire. We sit out in our driveway and roast hot dogs, eat smores, listen to music, visit, and hand out candy. I LOVE IT!!!

How was your Halloween? What are your Halloween Traditions?

Gathering #8

My trip to Denver was great. My dad and mom drove and left early Friday morning. Benj and I flew. We left our house around 1:45 pm and got to Denver around 5:00. We flew with our Uncle Paul and Aunt Wendy and they gave us a ride to my Uncle Jacks SURPRISE PARTY. So we got to the party and waited for the rest of my extended family to show up. My uncle had no idea that we were coming and when he got there he was very surprised by all of his friends that were there. My cousin Ashley had to point out my mom and my uncle Paul. We ate food and talked at the party. The next day we just hung out at my aunt and uncles house, our rental car had a flat tire so dad and I went to get it fixed. That night we went to my uncles favorite restaurant Maggiano's Little Italy. It was great. The food was amazing. The next day we packed up the car and drove home. Short trip but none the less a fun trip. Pictures will be on the next post I don't have my camera with me.

COMING SOON

Coming soon to a computer near you. Gather #8 My trip to Denver!
