The Weather......Wetter or not!!

Just to clear things up... I had a good day today.

I have an issue that has been going on for months. Let's talk...
The weather has been driving me crazy. As you know, I am all about outside and sunshine. The more the better of both. So all this rain, clouds, doom and gloom is really bothering me. Don't get me wrong...I enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend. I am thinking back and now today. Maybe I have a bad memory but I don't ever remember getting as much rain as we have had in the last 6 months. Seems like every week we have 2 or more days of raining or cloudy weather. What is up with that?!? Let's just say, it is ruining any plans I may have of doing anything outside. It is really making me sick. With the time change and raining all the time, well, let's just say, a person could get alittle depressed or at least vitamin D deficient.

Anyway, just needed to vent. What do you think about all this rain? Does it affect what you want to do?

Later... Gotta Ride!

Thanksgiving ... the weekend.

The excitement of the day... the planning.. the time off work.. the family.. the memories!!! I love thanksgiving for so many reasons.. what it means. You know, no matter your religious belief or not, everyone has something to be thankful for. This is truly a holiday/celebration that we all can relate to. We can all enjoy the time, the moment, the memories and all the food. I have enjoyed this holiday very much.

Thursday - Thanksgiving always puts us going several places to meet up with family. But I enjoy that. I enjoy preparing our parts of the meal then meeting and pigging out. We had a great time. What a wonderful memory.. enjoying a terrific meal with your family. And of course we had to play a little cornhole. Enjoying each other's company and planning our shopping for black Friday. You know, the shopping... that's part of our holiday. Planning where we will go and what time to meet. Wow!! what a rush.

Friday - Shopping.. then take a nap!

Saturday - Catch up on all the things we haven't done around the house. However, this year we decided to paint the bathroom. Nate needs to finish a family project for his Family Life badge. So painting the bathroom has become that project. He painted all day. Looks good.. still needs to touch up but it feels good to finish something. Also, one less badge to finish. He has two left before he can start on his eagle project. I am so proud of him. He is GREAT!!

Sunday - Church - Bike riding... the weather should be perfect 68 degrees. I can't wait to get out and ride. This time of year it is difficult to get out and ride. I should have ridden today but I needed to do so much other stuff. A mountain bike ride .... what could be better?!!!

Monday - Let's not talk about it..............back to work!!

Closer to the Holidays!!

Well, another holiday season is on the way. Can't stop it.. can't slow it down!!! I think to myself ...is there a way to make these times mean more than the usual gifts, parties, etc. You know these are special times.. I just want them to count. I love the holidays. I hate all the commercialism, all the stress of what to get, hurry up and get somewhere. I just want to slow down and enjoy the moment. Chat with friends, hug someone, enjoy the moments with our family. These are just quick thoughts.. no real purpose. Happy Holidays...

My First Post ...

HI!! This is my first post on my very own blog. I thought it would be nice to just talk about the things in life that seems to happen to me. Truly I wondered if I should call this blog.. WHAT NOW...that seems to be my thoughts often. Seems like one thing after another...! One thing I have learned, is that my Lord is always there helping me through all the things that seem to happen to me. He provides comfort, strength, joy and peace. Somehow he always provides what I need when I need it. Some would say, that's just chance, well, go ahead believe it. But I know, only He could influence such strength and peace. I know he is the only one that can make sense of all this. Thus, my title, All to HIM. I give him all the glory for the blessings in my life. I want to give All to Him, my passions, my time, my energy, & all that moves me. It is a process of learning & growing, so as life would have it, things get a little crazy. I am not perfect not close but deep in my heart I desire to do the right thing. I hope my experiences and growing pains can make a difference in others around me. As God would have it.. may others see my mistakes and avoid the same things.
