Answered Prayer

Ok, so with my Pampered Chef business, we always have deadlines on the last day of the month. Well for November it happened to fall on a Sunday. I don't like those months so much. I had worked hard to get a show closed on Saturday to meet a goal that I had. Well I ran out of time. I was bummed and thought that one phone call on Sunday surely wouldn't hurt. I even figured out the person to call to finish it all up. I thought about it at church and for the afternoon and figured that the $12 difference it was going to make wasn't worth breaking the sabath. I said a prayer saying to the Lord that since I was not working on Sunday that I needed help to close this show even though it wasn't going to make it on the deadline.

So Monday morning I checked my e-mail and got a great surprise. There was a letter from corporate saying that there were computer gliches on Sunday and that we had one more day to submit shows for it to count on November. I was extatic. I got on my e-mail and on the phone to let everyone know that I could think of. Then that afternoon we went car looking and met a sales man that said he wanted to order. I knew it was because I had stuck to my guns and asked for help. It is not worth $12 to break a commandment. The gospel is so easy, you just have to commit to doing it.

Still here

Sorry everyone for my absence. I have been doing projects like crazy. I hope to have them all done soon, and I can put up pictures. I almost finished redecorating the girls room, making quilts for the girls for Christmas, and now we are fall cleaning because we just got a massive weight bench. I am almost done with the quilts, and just have a few small touches on the girls room left, and a lot of cleaning. I think the cleaning won't get done until after Christmas. The room we need to get to the most is the presents hiding room, so we can't just go in there for a few hours cleaning and expect to have the girls leave us alone.

So this weight bench, my MIL called me up one day saying her neighbor had a bench and was just giving it away because she didn't want to hassle with selling it. She then asked if we wanted it . I said sure thinking it was just a small thing and we could play around with it. The first load showed up and I was getting excited. There was only one thing there saying this is much more than just a simple bench. We went up a few days later and packed the rest of it up. This thing is massive!! I has a 2 inch clearance from the ceiling and has a pulley system to it. We are so excited!!! I will post a pic when I get pics of the other stuff.

I hope everyone is having a great holliday season. We got some lights up outside and are trying to figure out if we are going to spring for a real tree or not this year. The girls want to decorate the tree so bad that they don't want to wait. We did hit the Black Friday sales this year. The first time that either of us has ever done it. We had so much fun!!! We will have to see if we can do it again next year.

Have a great December in case I don't make it back before then!!
