Getting in the spirit!

I am having a hard time getting into the spirit of Christmas. I wanted to do something fun with my blog but I am not coming up with a good color combination. I love red but Amber has the cutest layout ever so I am going to have to figure out something. Maybe I should go make my family dinner and then come back to this. Have a wonderful evening! Any suggestions??

I fought the stairs and the stairs won!

Here is Sarah's first shiner!  

The American Disease

Bigger. Better. Newer. Faster. Latest. Perfect. More, More, More. Right Now!

I want a bigger car, a suburban (can't get much bigger than that).
I bigger, newer, better house.
Better furnature.
Faster computer.

The sin of discontentment. Yep, that is my battle. God is revealing to me the "dirt." As I look back on the past I can really see how I just want more, more, more and there is never just a place where I am content. When I was single I wanted a better car and to be married. Now that I am married I wanted a bigger house. I have been spoiled. My first house being married was a 900+ sq. ft. house. Now that I have the bigger house I want a better car. Not to mention a bigger family (children). Now that I have all of that I want a faster computer. Now that I have that I want a newer, bigger, nicer house. I want this bigger family now! I want my body to be perfect (those of you that have been pregnant understand).

A month ago I was pestering my husband about a new computer. Now I have the new computer and now I am on to that I am ready to sell my house and move on base to a newer, bigger, better home. As he kindly related to me this morning that once we get into that house (because it would be a better financial move) then I would want better, the latest, furnature. Then probably more kids and a bigger house and this would turn into a never-ending cycle. I just want to be content with where I am. But how do I get there?

I think about how fortunate I am. There is LB in Korea that is living in a small apartment with not all of her belongings. What about Amber who lives in a country where electricity is not a for sure. They have sacrificed their lives and are not near their families either. Not to mention the people that live on the streets and have no food. Or the children that don't know what a toy is.

I just need to get over myself!

California Cameron

My little brother moved to Huntington Beach, CA a few months ago. He moved in with a few really cool guys who are working on their music. I went to Cam's My Space page last night and I was really impressed with their music. Check it out!
Cameron said today that they are working on two albums one being country. I am interested to see what that is going to be like. Cam is working at Sears and spends his time tanning in the sun. Unfortunately, he is not going to be able to come home for Christmas but he is coming home shortly after (maybe I will have the baby while he is here). I am really proud of the music that he has done and he goes to a big church in CA. Have a good day Cam!
