What a Weekend

Had a pretty eventful weekend. Friday, headed down to Orem to see Forgotten Carols with our friends Jake & Melissa. We ate dinner at their place then headed to the FC and it was wonderful! I absolutely LOVE the Forgotten Carols! I have the CD and have been listening to it while I clean my house. What a wonderful story! It was awesome to see Jake & Melissa too. Its been too long!
Saturday, we had our nephew's baptism and I did a little Christmas decor shopping with Tia then had to get ready for Brandon's company party. Danielle and Zack watched Sawyer for us and I think he LOVES it when they babysit. They don't make him go to bed! lol They spoil him rotten! At the party, Brandon won a $300 GPS! Pretty sweet! I won our table decoration which was a stag candle holder {kinda interesting} but nonetheless it was a prize! It was really nice to get out and get my mind of my struggles and just be with Brandon.
Today, I did a bunch of cleaning and tried my hardest to put up my Christmas decorations. I was able to do a little but still am not finished. Here is a little glimpse of my decor. Keep in mind I am NO interior decorator. I just TRY to make things look ..decent at least.....

Its a start. Its a little bit brighter and happier!

Went and visited my dad again today. Its getting more and more difficult to see him. Watching him get worse and worse in such a slow agonizing way is heart breaking. Today he was asleep then just suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his hand, and waved at the ceiling and raised his eye brows. It was as if he saw someone he knew.... I think the veil is getting very thin. I hope he sees his family who have passed before him. Give him some comfort......!I had to post some pics of the beautiful flowers Brandon got me last week. I love them!Also, I had to post at least one pic of my cuttie pitootie boy of mine! That's one of his new outfits from Old Navy! He looks so darn cute in it!



He was a big helper with decorating the tree too! He thought my ornaments were balls so when I would put them on he'd take them off and throw them! hahaha Kids are so dang funny!

It's good you had a chance to get out and do something. Your decorations look a heck of a lot better than mine :) Although... to be fair, mine are mostly made by a 2 and a 4 year old. The real decorations aren't up yet!! You are so sweet and I love your blogs!
