Behind...Again.

I was reminded recently by a friend that my blog was a little or a lot behind.  I really don't know how I manage to get so far behind but I do.
First let me catch you up on the wedding of Ashley and Tony! September 24, 2011 our oldest daughter married the love of her life Tony Klueg.  It was a day that we had anticipated for well over a year and a half and actually I guess we knew it was coming for about 5 years.  It was a perfectly miserable fall day in southern Indiana.  Complete with wind, rain, clouds and chilly temps but it was the most BEAUTIFUL day for a wedding.  Everything was picture perfect and went better than any of us ever imagined.  Ashley was an absolutely stunning bride and you couldn't help but notice that Tony knew he was marrying his very own princess.  I will say he was lucky that her daddy actually handed her over at the alter because that was a very difficult thing for him to do (and for me to watch!)  We know that Tony loves her with every ounce of his being and we are grateful to be blessed with an amazing son-in-law.  Since the wedding the kids have taken the next step and have purchased their very own home.  A beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath all brick ranch home on the north side of Evansville.  The purchase actually puts them closer to us by oh, about 10 miles!  But at least it is closer and not further away!  We will be going to their home the first of January to celebrate Christmas and Ashley's birthday there since they cannot come home for the Christmas holiday.

We were blessed to have both Tiede girls and Tony home for Thanksgiving which was so completely wonderful!  Lena has been a huge help in the kennel and we have been able to spend some quality time together.  Christmas shopping began on Saturday after Thanksgiving as we opted out of the black Friday mayhem!   Today she and I shopped and made quite a nice dent in the Christmas list!  It has been a nice long holiday weekend spent with family and friends and anticipating the upcoming holiday season.

Remembering all the things that I have to be thankful for I am not sure how I could be blessed any more than I already am.  Somehow, the Lord continues to find ways to give me more.  I only hope that I continue to be worthy of those blessings.  So here I am once again hoping to keep a more steady blog and thanking you for continuing to follow along.  Sometimes all I need is a little nudge to get me back on track!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Be Blessed!
