December 31st

It is New Years Eve! We are excited to celebrate the day. K and T will be going to a New Years Eve Party. They are pretty excited about it. It will cover about 7 different stakes. So I am sure they will spend the day getting ready.

K and T went to their evening of fun. They said they had the best time, even better than any other dances they have been too. They danced alot and met new guys, just pretty much enjoyed themselves.

We had a big miracle happen to us today. We have been working with KM on our business and he has been working with TB. TB told KM that he wanted him to meet someone who was very important to him. This man was just like TB 's brother. He loved him that much. These are people that KM plans on telling about our business. Well the guy that TB is just like a brother too, is the same guy that my oldest son met at work over a year ago. He told my oldest son that he would be willing to invest in our company if we would just give him some information. My son tried several times after that to reach the man, but had no success. My husband knew that this man would come back to store where my oldest son works, during the Christmas season, then he could scedule a meeting for the partners to meet. Isn't it interesting how the Lord aready has planned things out. My son will meet with him again, just not in the way he planned. We are looking forward to a meeting soon, and are so excited. Another great miracle in our life.

December 30th Wednesday

Tonight K and T went to Young Women. They went to their leaders home and made pizza. They came home and announced that they loved their ward. All they did tonight was talk and share fun experiences. They absolutely loved it. I am happy that they are so happy.

Today is almost the last day of this year. I am excited for the new year and all it brings. It is going to be one of those years that all bring everything together for uf. I am excited to start this year. The country worries me alot. Those who are in leadership positions right now really are clueless as to what this country really needs. They are trying to force health care on us. No one realizes what this health care will do. We will all be required to spent about 17 thousand dollars a year in health care. If we don't have health care we can be sent to prison, or fined 250 thousand dollar. Now that is what I call free health care. It is pretty sad. We will pray for our leaders and hope they can aquire some sort of sense.

Right now my miracle for today is that we live in this free country. Because right now it is certainly free for all of us to make our own decisions.

December 29th Tuesday

Today my children all went back home. It was hard to see them go. We have had a great Christmas and a good visit. I went to my Mothers today and gave her a perm. She insisted on paying me again. I made $30.00, so once again I have a little money.

My mother in law gave me a gift certificate to the mall. I was great to go shopping yesterday with my husband because I had money to spend. I bought myself a little jacket and a sweater. They are wonderful. My husband also got some pants that didn't fit. He went back to the store and was able to purchase 2 pair of levi's. We both had a very rewarding day. It was a little miracle to be able to shop.

December 28th Monday

It is Monday. It has been a cold day once again. My grandchildren would like to be outside riding their scooters that they received from Santa, but the weather doesn't permit that, so they are riding around in my home. The only problem is that we have renters in the basement. Riding those scooters across the kitchen floor can be rather noisey and there is a baby in the basement sleeping. That makes it difficult for my grandchildren, because I am continually asking them to stay out of the kitchen. Sometimes I think that they think their grandmother is just plain mean. But my son is the one that lives in the basement and I have a grandchild down there as well. I guess in a way you would say I am in a no win situation. I try not to get to upset, I know that all of my grandchildren are special to me. Sometimes I try to get them to do other things, so they can get their minds off their scooters, but sometimes those scooters are just to inviting to a child. And sometimes it is just fun to watch them ride around. We know that by tomorrow those scooters with be gone, we will miss them. With the scooters going that means our grandchildren are going. And that doesn't sound good at all. So the day will go as normal with some joyous children riding around, then tomorrow there will be silence. So we are grateful for the miracle of scooters.

December 27th Sunday

What a great inspiring uplifting day. All of our meetings today were uplifting. We enjoyed the speakers in Sacrament Meeting. The Urquhart's spoke to us and talked about the 4 S's that we as a stake are trying to live with a little more importance. They are "Stricked Obedience, " "Scripture Study," and "Service. "I know that if we would all follow this council we would certainly be better people. Sunday School and Relief Society were just as wonderful. After such great meetings we come home to spend time with family. They are still here and we are loving them. They will be leaving on Tuesday. When they go we will truly be sad, but we are also happy to have celebrated with them a wonderful Christmas. I hate to see the holiday's end and our lives return to normal. But we have thoroughly enjoyed this day, we even got together to play games. It is fun to enjoy family with laughter and excitement. All of us together seem to find that excitement. We are certainly grateful for it. It is truly a miracle to have so much fun.

December 26th Saturday 2009

It has been a super great day. We have enjoyed the left overs and the company. I had two amazing miracles happen to me today. I bought my twins some paints and some paint brushes. I knew that I put them in my closet. But for the past couple of days I have searched trying to find them, but to no avail. Well today I decided I just needed to pray more fervently. I did an then started to talk to my daughter in Pittsburgh. Suddenly during the conversation I knew I needed to search my closet again. I needed to go through my closet and push each article of clothing aside one by one. So I did just that. I got the the very last hanger and saw the paints and paint brushes, then I suddenly remembered that I needed to hide them so I put the sack over the hanger. I was guided to find them by the Holy Ghost. What a great blessing in my life.

We have been missing one of the Wii remotes. They are quite pricey. We have already replaced one thanks to my brother. So I was a bit concerned. I searched the house. Then I remember seeing my daughters tupperware full of their winter clothing that she had brought, so her children could play in the snow. I felt that I needed to look there. And that is where it was. It was nice to have 2 miracles happen today in my life. It may seem like a small thing, but to me it was super. I am grateful for miracles.

December 25th

It is Christmas and truly a special day. It has been just that for our family. I know that each member of my family just got clothes and not a whole lot more but I am grateful for those clothes. I am especially grateful for the person that had my name this year. I know that it wasn't easy for her, especially when she has a little family of her own. I just want to Thank her. She is a special young lady as all my children are. I know that the person that had my name couldn't get out because of car problems, so she sent a message for my other daughter to shop and she did. I just love how my children have so much love for each other that they will help, when they need too. The true spirit of Christmas is family, love and giving because that is what the Savior would do if her were here.

All of my children were so good and so cute with each other and their different assignments. They went beyond themselves. They filled there obligations gloriously. I can't thank them enough. They cooperated so much. They helped me so that things would be easier for me this Christmas. I also want to Thank my husband for his love and support through the past few days. Super Christmas. My miracles are that just miracles. Too many to count as my grand daughter said when I asked her what she got for Christmas. So many things she couldn't say them all. Such gratitude for such little things. We can't ask for more.
