Thanksgiving

The day before Thanksgiving we bought an old MCI bus!  It's been our dream for years!  We are now beginning that adventure.  We are converting it into an RV.  We are all so excited!  That is our Christmas present to the kids this year and maybe for the next 10 years!

Thanksgiving Day we spent at my parents.  It was really nice to visit with Kaleb and LaNell, Emily, and KyVan.  I picked Kaleb's brain on how he is making money flipping garage sale items.  He says he is making enough to pay for his truck, their clothes, and trips that they take.  Sweet!  My goal is to try it out and see if I can make enough to build out the RV and pay for trips.  That means I need to make about $2000 a month.  Okay, the reality is it could suck up $10,000 a month if we let it.  So we will just see how much we can do with what we've got.  But part of what we've got is imagination, hard work, creativity, and excitement.  So right there I'd say we are doing great!  We really enjoyed visiting and the food was wonderful!  The little kids loved playing with cousins!  And the big kids played with aunts, uncles, and grandparents.  It was fun to visit with Kaleb and LaNell who are also raising little ones and we have a lot in common.  They are great parents!

The day after Thanksgiving we went to Garland for Jaremy's family party.  The kids enjoyed the games at both parties.  I enjoy the visiting, but there wasn't very much this year.  Everyone played, ate, then left.  I play in the nursery with the little ones.  The gym is too dangerous!  I'm the only one out of Jaremy's big family that has a baby or any little ones under 7.  So it can be a bit lonely as far as adult company goes.  But that's okay.  It gives me a great chance to play with my sweet babies and wee ones.

I'm grateful Heavenly Father has blessed us with wonderful families!  And the ability to get together with them.
