Random Thoughts

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head that this is going to be a disappointing post because I'm not quite ready to share them yet.  They're still too confusing and overwhelming even for me: activities, holiday festivities, traveling, my amazing husband, babies, loss, God, winter, Christmas, church, planning/goals/dreams, etc.  I'm working on writing these thoughts down into concrete understandable form, but it might take me a few days to work through them all.  For now, however, here is a picture for thought:



The above picture is from a book series I used to read as a child.  Brian and I have had fun browsing through the library and bookstores perusing the books we read as children (they're the best written books ever! True classics!).  I've always loved mice.  Anything to do with mice.  I'm trying to find some Christmas mice to sit around and some ornaments too, but haven't had much success yet.  Anyway, I loved this book and am having a hard time finding it.  Why?  Because I can't remember the title.  I'm pretty sure it's a Little Golden Book.  I've spent hours trying to find the title (working on a writing project and no, I'm not telling), and it seems hopeless.  Have any of you read this book?  Remember the title?  Yup, I'm asking for help!

In other news, I had my hair cut.  Brian really likes it, and so do I--it's totally different, but I'm waiting till it loses that "first cut" look to post pictures.  After the last few weeks, we just felt we needed something new and different, or maybe I did.  It's short and has a ton of layers--quick and easy for me, but still learning how to get it to lay properly.  ;-)

The housing hunt continues... When we find something that's perfect, we are unable to get in contact with the owners, etc.  I know God has just the right place out there for us--it's just taking a while to find it.  We're hoping to just stay here until we find a place that suits our goals because we would rather not move every 6 months unless we need to. :-)

It's almost CHRISTMAS!!  And it FLURRIED the other day!  Even Brian was happy!  (or maybe he was just because I was)  My favorite time of the year!!

Smiles!

  1. I think it's called Country Mouse, City Mouse, but Mom will know for sure. I think she owns that book. Of course Brian would be excited when it snows. With how often he's seen it, it's worth getting excited about.
