we have lift off....

well friends, we have a church! yay!!!! it is a renovated barn-but it is sooo cute. typically, i hate the word cute, it goes back to my high school days of always being labeled 'cute', never 'hot' or 'pretty' or 'sexy', but 'cute'. it made me feel so like a 'aww-shes not pretty, but shes not ugly, shes just 'cute'.....agh. anyway... but this church is very cute. its very intimate-like not too big, not too small, has big beams and a rustic feel to it. i loved it. and so did kell. not to mention-we really dont have a choice at this point, but im glad i liked it....

it was opening weekend this weekend. you know, 'widows weekend'. dont know what that is? here up in the north, that is opening weekend of gun season for deer hunters. all the men leave their wives/women and go to their huntin' shacks, get drunk, and sit in a deer stand all day and watch for deer. woo-hoo. i never really understood that whole hunting concept. i would get waaayyyy too bored. and cold. not to mention the fact that id probably shoot my foot off or other important body part....

i was on call this weekend. was thinking it was going to be a total money making weekend, it being opening weekend and all-crazy people falling out of deer stands (this happens ALL THE TIME)-so i was all pumped up for the money. well. that definately didnt happen. dead. completely dead. didnt get called in at.all. saturday. which is like a first in PACU history. of course, they wait to call us in until the middle of the night. grand.

we got our first snowfall. what was supposed to be 'some flurries' ended up being about 3 inches. its pretty, but waaaayyy overrated. emersyn was sooo excited. i had to work in the middle of the night (again), so i already knew about the snow-but she proceeded to come and try to drag me out of bed this morning-saying 'come see, come see, im so excited. theres SNOW.' so excited that as soon as we went outside this morning, she immediately, in her regular shoes and clothes, plowed into a big snow pile.....aye. kids......
