Cast down, but not defeated!!

America has spoken!!! It's a little hard to swallow for me in a way, because we know where our country is with God, but, I'm sure not defeated because I know that God is in control!!!
I am thankful that we all got to "meet" Sarah Palin!! She is an inspiration and was a breath of fresh air for a couple months!! I don't think she will be going away for good!! I am sure we will see her again! May God Bless Sarah Palin and her family, John Mccain and his family!! And..may God bless America..our home sweet home!!!

My little Princess!

Lauren dressed up as Cinderella for her party today at preschool!!

Thought this was cute!

I was in Panera Bread Restaurant on Saturday night to purchase a gift certificate and noticed they had "hope" bagels. I purchased one to take to work with me on Sunday for breakfast!! I thought I would share!! It was yummy (cherry,cranberry,vanilla and brown sugar)!!

McCain/Palin Rally!

We were so priveleged to go see John McCain and Sarah Palin yesterday!!! We had a great time!! We stood for about 4 hours!! We weren't actually too far away!! Me, Scott and Jon went!! Lauren was at the Columbus zoo with her preschool class and Kaitlyn decided that she needed to be at school the whole day! Here are a couple pictures!
