Today was election day... as everyone is well aware I'm sure! This election was pretty important to me personally because my boss was up for re-election as prosecutor! I love him to pieces as a boss and a friend. He's like an older brother (our families have been friends back to our great-grandparents). Last election four years ago I was super nervous, but for some reason I just had a very calm peace about this... even though I knew it would be a close race I was not concerned. I wanted him to win, but I was not worried... I know that only came from the Lord. I really do like my job, it's a great job and even though I'd rather be home w/ my boys, since that doesn't work for us due to health insurance coverage, this is the best job! I like what I do and the people I work with! He did win! Whoo hoo! Since election day was today we were off of work which is always a nice break to have an extra day off! Corbin and I went and voted and just hung out at home. Tonight while waiting for results to come in I baked to keep my mind off of it! I made Chcolate Peanut Buddy Bars. YUM!


For the thirty days of gift giving today I gave some coupons to a friend and she ended up having enough to buy TWENTY FREE boxes of cereal! She is donating them to the Toyota (where her husband works) food bank.

Yesterday Brycen and I made cookies and took them to our elderly neighbors (at our rental). They are also family friends. Honestly, I was in a hurry and just wanted to drop them off and leave, but they invited us in and I knew they wanted to visit w/ the boys... I ended up being so blessed by stopping and taking a few minutes to visit them. They are people who have been an important part of my entire life. I love them like family. I sometimes forget to take time to let people know I love them and appreciate them... visiting with them just warmed my heart and honestly made my day!


These things I'm doing aren't major, they aren't life changing things, BUT they still count! I want to be a nicer version of myself. I want to think of others needs before my own... in doing so I find myself feeling twice as blessed.


I am only posting these things to hold myself accountable. I think giving in secret is great and I love doing that as well, but for this challenge I want to post about the things we do so that I can hold myself accountable and see how the Lord is working.


I am off again tomorrow (whoo hoo!)... think I'll go eat another chocolate peanut buddy bar now :) just what I need! ha!


I have Halloween pictures to post, but blogger won't let me, that's why you're getting this very random post!
