Shawn said something interesting last night in his lesson. He said that we should be thankful for the things God has placed in our hand. I looked down at my hand and it was holding my other hand. So, "Thank you God for two hands!!" I know it sounds like I'm making light of this, but I'm really not. I am actually very thankful for having a body that works properly and I have all the body parts I need to live a comfortable life. I can't even imagine missing one finger, let alone a hand. Even though I took what Shawn said very literally, (and I know that's not how he meant it) I know I am so blessed to have ALL of the things God has placed in my hands…even if it is my other hand.

Parties
Shawn and I got to go to our first and last Christmas party of 2008. There was a huge, hotel ball, but I was sick and Shawn had class. So, we missed that one. But we did get to go to the banquet department party. It was fun to go out not wearing my work uniform.

Before I forget
Quick story about Landon. About Easter time last year, Landon decided he wanted his shaggy hair to be cut like his daddy's. So Shawn buzzed it and Landon has kept it very short since then. The other day, Shawn was trimming Landon's hair. They called me into the bathroom to see the finished product. I made a big deal about it telling him he looked very handsome. His response was a little shocking. He stuck his lip out and about busted into tears. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "Daddy didn't cut it right, he forgot to cut this part." He said this while pointing above his forehead. He was talking about Shawn's receding hairline and about the fact that his hair didn't look EXACTLY like Shawn's!! We did our silent parent laughing (as to not embarrass him). Our kids love us, imperfections and all! The scary thing...they want to be just like us, imperfections and all-talk about pressure.
(I promise, pictures are coming...we did buy an adapter for my camera memory thing and will be able to download them when I get some time off:)
