Karl and I were fortunate enough to have Mom and Barb come over for Thanksgiving in late November. Mom also brought Murphy and the kittens! I've posted a video but here's the Picasa album of the visit.
Mom and I are thankful that the orange tabby and the B&W kittens have been placed in a home. I think Mom's going to keep the calico though.
We have our Christmas tree up!! The house is decorated with poinsettias, snowmen and snowflakes. I just love the holiday season. It's so warm and comfortable. The presents are wrapped and under the tree but that's not to say we have all the presents purchased. There's still some to do. I'm getting excited though because next week is the last week of school with a party on Friday and then two week of VACATION! I've been working so much, I almost feel a bit guilty for not being home more. I work at school 730-145 but often stay until 230, sometimes later working on lesson plans and preparing for the following week. THEN I go off to TSC for work at 4-830. Fridays and all of next week we close at 9pm! So I won't get home until 9:30. That's 14 hours on my feet. You wouldn't believe how exhausting it is. I'm physically and mentally tired. This vacation will be a nice break. Karl has the week of Christmas until Jan 4th off, too. So he and I will have some nice time together.
A few pictures of the tree anyone? Karl's parents and grandparents were kind enough to let us have one of his grandparents natural trees from back behind their home in Scottville. We went out there Thanksgiving weekend and picked it out (claiming it as ours with a palm tree air freshener used for your car...) :-D Thank you Brian and Kathy for bringing it down. That helped a lot.
Have you had a candy cane yet? One of my students gave me a tutty-fruity one. It was surprisingly good.
So for now, that's all folks.
Love you guys.

Hola!
Have you seen the weather forecast? The entire midwest is FROZEN! This side of the lake was "having a heat wave...a tropical heat wave" this morning. :-) Highs in the 20's. yippee!...? But the cold is coming and coming with a vengeance. We're supposed to get somewhere around 4 inches TONIGHT (Thursday) and then there's no stopping in sight. The weather man on Wood TV8 this morning said snow is in the forecast "forever."
For those who have, and love, their pets, you'll appreciate this tid bit of news. I was able to get a note from my doctor and am now able to have Murphy at our apartment! (Due to the fur, they don't allow pets without a doctor's note.) It's not final yet but Karl and I are trying to not get too excited. She may be coming home for Christmas. Her three kittens are still available and are ready TO GO! If you or anyone you know wants a kitty, they're free and we'll find a way to get them/you their/your kitten. Here's a really cute video of the three:
I like this picture of the little B&W one; she's so cute!

Look what I figured out!
I figured out how to add a slideshow of my Picasa Wedding Album to the side panel. This'll be nice then I don't have to load it to a post. When I have a new album to share I can just link it to the side panel.
YIPPEE!
YIPPEE!
Happy Thanksgiving!
A very Happy Thanksgiving to all. Karl and I hope you have a tummy-filling, yummy-stuffing, turkey-gobbling good time. :-)
The weather looks fair, so safe travels.
Karl and I are doing well. We're reving up for the holidays. I've gotten a few decorations up and out. Last Christmas, Kathy Buter (Karl's mom) gave us a set of decorative Christmas trees that are now gracing our coffee table. (They smell slightly like pine, so every now and then I think I smell a waft of pine tree and wish for a real one.)
Thanksgiving, this year, is at Karl's parents with his sister and brother. Mom was going to join us, but unfortunately she had to work. :-( Christmas is going to be fun, though! We couldn't figure out what to do for the Gessner Christmas, or if we were going to even do one this year. So, Karl and I offerd to have it at our place (yes, our small apartment). With only about 8 people, it shouldn't be too crowded. We'll probably have to do a buffet style dinner, though because we only have one size table. :-) I'm excited for this. I'm looking forward to having people over to OUR house. A really cool thought - not my parents', not Karl's parents' but OUR home. :-)
I hope to remember to post another slideshow. This one in two parts of our wedding. There's quite a few pictures so I had to break it into two parts. We finally got all the pictures printed, though. Thank goodness. It was weighing on me to get them done. They compact so well in our photo box that it hardly looks like 300 pictures. :-) Now comes the task of picking and choosing which pictures we'd like to print for our frames.
This weekend is going to be nice in that it's a four day weekend but also I'm going to see my kitty, Murphy, and her three kittens! I haven't seen Murphy since late August and I've never seen the kittens. Oh I'm so excited!
So, have yourself a wonderful holiday. Fill yourself with happiness and good food. And if you're going shopping Friday, BE CAREFUL and GOOD LUCK!
(Signed with) LOVE

Our Wedding!
Hello everyone,
Hopefully when you check this site, you'll be surprised with a new post. Below is a slide show of some of our wedding pictures. I'll put more up as I go. There's just too many for all at once.
Follow the link to view the Picasa Web Album. I'll try to figure out how to get a slideshow going for easier viewing.
Love you all.

Do what I do
Yeah... Do what I do and Listen to my wife.
I'm not sure how much or how often Kellia wants me to put stuff on here. Maybe I'll post hunting photos, I bet that'll make her happy.
Hey look: Two Dorks
