I am thankful!

We made it through yesterday and last night without losing our power. I am so thankful! But yesterday was so strange! We didn't get the storm you all got! There was rain off and on, but not the torrential downpour everyone else got! We had a gust of wind here and there but nothing major. All day I was on the phone and watching weather reports as I looked outside wondering when it was coming here. I guess I do live in Paradise! haha! Jordy has no school today and Dylan is two hours late. Poulsbo flooded, Silverdale flooded, highways and roads closed, etc.... but I missed it. I feel like I live in another place. All the kids left work early.... even Papa was sent home. Kevon said he got to his truck and the water was up to his floorboards. And it is a high truck. The rains are still coming. It is a mess. I am thankful all our kids live on hills!!! Mom is safe and sound and cosy too. Our meeting in Bremerton was canceled last night, too.

Got some Christmas shopping done last night online... so I am very pleased with myself. Talked with Amanda, Andrew, Lauren, Heather, Tara, and Karla to get idea's. Helped alot. I will be done today, I imagine. Not buying much. No credit cards this year...only cash. There is not other way to go.

Sent another resume out yesterday. Still sending a couple a week out. Not sure when God will see fit to give me a job. Not sure what the hold up is.

Today is the 4th and I am so thankful today for Patrick!!! He is funny, smart, and just an awesome cutie! Please keep him in your prayers....especially where math is concerned. Seems to be his struggle right now. His braces are doing good now...unless he bumps his mouth! Also keep sister-in-law Connie in your prayers, cousin Holly, and niece-in-law Tiffany. And Kev's friend Jerk (Jeff) just became a daddy for the first time. Please keep that baby in your prayers. Hope you have a wonderful day! God bless and be careful out there!

This Christmas, if you wonder who loves you and how much, remember the answer you're reading here: God loves you as if you were His one and only love. God poured out all His love upon you when He sent Jesus.
"God loves each one of us as if there were only one of us to love." Saint Augustine
