Thanksgiving recap

Here is my recap of Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday). To start off my parents came in town to celebrate the holiday with us. It was a great blessing having them here. We enjoyed every minute we got to spend together. Gretchen cooked like crazy and the food was awesome. I got to deep fry another turkey. I would like to say that this one was the best so far. We watched some football. Jeff, Jody and the kids came over (the stuffing was probably the best I have ever had). Rob Signs brought his Texas Fire Crackers and some desserts that were just incredible. One day someone will be able to get the secret recipes out of him. The day after thanksgiving Gretchen and Jody loaded up to go shopping at 4am. I slept. I had to take dad and mom to the airport. We did some things around the house then we went to the REV/Norco game. Saturday was putting up the Christmas lights outside (I have to quit adding things) and doing some chores. In the midst of that I took a break to take the girls (each with a friend) to see a movie of their choice. Me, Malory and her friend went to see Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. It was absolutely an awesome movie. I would highly recommend it. All of this put together made this Thanksgiving a GREAT one!!

I'm Baaaaaaack

Okay, now everyone can leave me alone about not putting up a post in over two months. It was not intentional, I just had a lot on my plate. Since I last wrote the following things have happened.

• We finished Walk Thru the Bible
• Completed another 24/7 prayer week
• Gretchen and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in Las Vegas (had an absolute awesome time)
• Led a SS conference in San Diego
• Traveled to Texas to preach the ordination service for my great friend Jeff Ritter
• Led another SS conference in Eugene Oregon
• Hosted Team Impact
• Took a little breather
• Harvest Festival (although Rhonda did the work)
• Started 3 new Bible Fellowship Classes
• Spent some time sighting in my rifle for my hunting trip which starts tomorrow

As you can see it was a crazy two and half months. Of course the highlight of all this was Gretchen and I celebrating 20 years of marriage. God truly blessed me by giving Gretchen to me! Here is to as many years as God allows (hopefully many, many, many more)!!!

As I write this, I am less than 12 hours away from leaving for Montana. For me an Elk and Mule Deer hunt in Montana is a chance of a lifetime. I am sure you will hear more about this in the days to come.

Next Friday is Malory's 11 birthday. I am going to have to celebrate a day late because I do not return until Saturday. I am glad that I have a daughter who understands (don't you Mal Mal)!

Okay, so I am back. If I write this and no one responds, I am going to be disappointed.
