Thursday Already?

I can't believe it's already Thursday, this week has flown by and so I will start with this week's thankful list:

• My Sunday School Class has been a blessing to me just watching them really do life together. They all step up so many times when there are things going on in each others lives. They are a GREAT group of friends!
• Pumpkin Spice Limited Edition coffee pods for the Keurig that I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond - yummy! My very own starbucks at home (cheaper and less fattening too, a win/win)
• Time to sit down and eat breakfast with Kelsie several days this week. I love starting my day with her.
• Our dentist (Dr. Toney) and orthodontist (Dr. Jensen) - both professional and exceptional in their field and generous men of God. Kelsie has been relaxed and comfortable with both of them which is so important to me!
• The cooler weather - it's been nice to have the rain and the cooler morning today. Fall is my favorite.
• Market Street's Chicken Tortilla Soup. Yum!
• Karen Kingsbury's "Sunset" which I am reading now. I have to force myself to put it down at night so I don't stay up until 2 a.m.
• Watching all the bunnies, birds, and especially the hawk at the farm house - it's fun to have nature all around (as long as it doesn't include snakes and mice - so far they haven't come up to the house but I know they are out there).

Monday night we went to look at some vacant/foreclosed houses. Even though our plan is to wait until after the first of the year to move, we learned that foreclosures take a while to work out and close so we decided to go and look. There were a few we liked, nothing we loved yet. We have a few houses that we are watching but don't want to see yet because people live in them and we know how it is to be given false hope by lookers that aren't serious. We will wait on those until Nov/Dec. It is fun to look at houses though and it gives us good ideas of what neighborhoods to narrow our search to, so it's useful even if we aren't making offers yet.

Tuesday night we ordered On the Border for a Deeper Worship Conference meeting at the farm house. I love the team that is working on this project! God really has assembled such a talented team and we all have such different strengths that we work very well together. It will be an incredible weekend-don't miss it! Wednesday we had our first visit to the orthodontist, Dr. Jensen, who was fabulous. We loved him, he was great interacting with Kelsie and explaining stuff to us. We left with a good understanding of what we need to do now and the long term plan for her future smile. Right now, we have to see a specialist for a root canal on the malformed tooth so there won't be decay later and they can shape the tooth further. After that is done, the tooth next to it (a baby tooth) needs to be pulled to make room for the impacted tooth that is not wanting to come down in the right spot. All of her other teeth (she still has 7 baby teeth) look like they are coming in correctly. So, we get those things done and see him in one year to take another x-ray and see where the impacted tooth is and how the other teeth have come in so we can go from there straightening the turned tooth and whatever else they need to address. Kelsie enjoyed looking at the x-ray of all her baby teeth and perm teeth that are in there - I think she was counting the tooth fairy money!

So, tonight kinda starts the weekend for me - the first night we haven't had plans this week so we can actually sit down to dinner together and spend some quality family time. On Friday, Wayne and I get to hang out together - I am looking forward to spending the day with him. Then we have Friday Night Football, Prosper plays their biggest rivals Celina this week so it's a huge game and should be fun! Okay, if my weekend is to start tonight I better get busy on finishing up laundry and stuff. Have a great weekend!
