Grace

Thank you everyone for such sweet comments and, really, just for reading!  It's kind of fun to know other people give a hoot about what I write.  I need to tell you all, though, I am honestly not fishing for compliments here.  I'm totally happy being a regular mom!  I think if we're all honest, we can say none of us really have it all together.  And that's where grace comes in.  I'm totally content in the fact that I'm not perfect, never have been, never will be.  I'm a sinner saved by grace and I love that I can show others grace in their non-perfectness.

On a completely different note, I just have to brag on my hubby a little bit.  He shot his first elk ever this morning!  I'm so happy for him!  I'm also happy for me.  Not so much for the freezer full of elk meat, I'm kind of a priss and will probably have to mix it with ground beef to be able to tolerate it much.  But I am thankful for the meat, don't get me wrong.  Anyway, I'm mostly happy to have him back and participating in the family again.  He's been out of the house by 5 every morning and home well after dark with wet, dirty clothes and a worn out body.  So, yes, I'll be glad to have him back.

Another completely different note.  Our kids have had their pumpkins for 2 weeks now, asking almost nightly to carve them.  I've put them off and am finally letting them carve them today.  Unfortunately, the pumpkins are looking a little sad.  I won't be surprised at all if we cut the tops off to find them totally rotten.  Good times.  Guess I better get to that...
