Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM THE POTTERS!

After a 20 hour drive Ben and Nathalie arrived! Everyone is now here.

They look a little worn out but we are glad they made the trip.

On Wednesday, we joined Kim in some of her exploring North Carolina. She decided to check out the Botanical Gardens and the Planatarium. (These are all for possible future volunteer sites). However, there was nothing alive in the gardens.

These were the only plants that we still living.

We did appear to be the only crazy people wandering around the garden today.

I wonder why?

Andy and Christine arrived!

OK KIM - YOU MADE THE BLOG!!

My Mom and my sister, Kim, arrived today. Kim is moving here from California in about 18 months so she wanted to come to check out the area.

We spent most of Saturday cleaning and food shopping since our family begins arriving tomorrow. Then that night we went to see Transiberian Orchestra! I am always in awe.

The Christmas season has officially begun

It snowed in North Carolina!

For all of maybe 20 seconds!

Dan went to a friend's sweet 16 birthday party.

He thought it would be boring...

Until he found out he liked to "move it. move it"!

November 5th

I'm playing catch up. Sierra turned 21 on November 5th. We had her actual cake and dinner a couple days later.

Happy 21st Birthday Sierra!

November 2nd

I can't believe that it is already November! I thought I would be so organized for everyone coming here for Thanksgiving and I am so NOT. Lol! I know that I have plenty of time but I thought I would be more organized than I am. Last Sunday, I went to a bridal shower for Lauren and James Hoffert at church. We had a new starter put in Arthur's car on Monday but the car dealer that we bought it from paid for it. Friday night was Arthur's birthday. We went to Fargo Cattle Company for dinner with Donna and Nahum to celebrate. Saturday night, the youth were all meeting at the Vidal's so we went over to keep Donna & Nahum company. Today, we went to service. After we had lunch, Arthur and I went to the library and then he changed my oil in my car and checked my antifreeze. Arthur's cousin, Cathy, came by for a visit in the afternoon. Now we are just relaxing. Tomorrow my hours change at work and i have to be in at 8:00 - ick! But at least I get out at 5:00 pm - that will be great.
