Whoa - November, where did you go? I just realized that I haven't updated in a while.

BigHouse news - we had a very successful "BigHouse of Blues" fundraiser (live and silent auctions). I wish I would have bid on some of the really nice items at the silent auction! Next year for sure. Blake won the bid on the car (Praise Jesus - he needed it for sure!), and my friend Julie won the bid on a 3-night stay at a chalet in Gatlinburg - woo hoo!

We are getting ready for our Christmas events - so much to do! Two Christmas parties, two benefit concerts, Kids' Night Out...and then after all of that is over, Micah, Blake and I are sequestering ourselves for a BigHouse Planning Retreat - similar to the Planning Campouts I used to take as a Girl Scout - to brainstorm, pray, eat, relax, and play games. Oh yeah and plan - getting some dates on the 2011 calendar!

Other news - I am going to Canton on Thursday to begin the Rogers/Samples wedding festivities! I can't believe Jenna and Trent are getting married on Saturday! I'm so happy for them. I hope I won't trip and die in the heels I have to wear...haha.

My Bucky had knee-replacement surgery last Tuesday, and then Wednesday night had a heart attack at the hospital. She was moved to ICU for a few days, but now she is doing better and they sent her on to the rehab facility for her knee. Please pray that she is able to recovery from the knee surgery and that her heart will continue to get stronger too.

I got to spent most of Thanksgiving break with my brother Cuyler, sister-in-law, Leilani, and nephews, Cameron (2) and Marshall (9 months). It was a lot of fun. They said I was a lifesaver, but all I did was play with babies! We had Thanksgiving dinner at their house with my mom's side of the family (minus Bucky, of course).

December is going to be a very busy month, as expected. I'm going to be singing Handel's Messiah with the Trinity United Methodist Choir (one of our two benefit concerts for BigHouse). I'm sooo excited!

Tonight I have Bible study, and it's time for me to head out. C-Ya!
