Days to stay in bed

So Sam and I flew home on Wed from UT and both of us started having running noses on the plane. GRRRR!! So I went to grab something out of the pantry before going to bed early Wed night and I saw a mouse in our pantry. What the @#*! So needless to say I didn't go to bed early. We stayed up until 11:30 setting traps after Grant took a quick trip to Walmart. Then Sam and I were sleeping in on Thurs when we get a call from Grant that the pickup broke down on his drive into work. Thank heavens for such friendly Oklahoman's that towed him to the local Walmart parking lot where Sam and I went and got him. We got the battery charged and it made it home. I drank some OJ and I guess it didn't sit well on my stomach because it ended up all over our carpet. Then I was supposed to have a delivery of wood to cut for signs for Super Saturday this Sat the 15th and it didn't show. Can I rewind and start the day over????? Wow someone is really testing my patience!!:) Heavenly Father thank you for trials, but do they all need to come at once?

I guess I should just count my blessings that we have a job that buys food to attract rodents and that we have a second vehicle that starts and that we have somewhere warm to be!

Granola

I had a request from a friend for this recipe. We love it and so I thought I would share it with everyone. It is good by itself, on Ice Cream, Yogurt Parfaits, etc.

Granola
1/3 C Oil
4 C Rolled Oats
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 C Honey
1 Tbsp Cinnamon

You can add any nuts or dried fruit you would like to this as well. We really like Almond slivers and Pecans.

Mix all ingredients spread on cookie sheet cook 10 min at 300. Stir and cook another 10 min or until lightly brown.

Gardner Graphics

Here are some of the things Gardner Graphics will be providing for our Super Saturday for Relief Society on November 15th. I am so excited!!





Here is one I did for a friend. I think the matting around it looks awesome.


I have a lot more that I have done for a friend that I will post later.

Young Womens

Our boundaries were switched a couple of weeks back and so now we have around 30 girls in Young Women's and we are now able to break up into classes, so I now work with the Beehives. These are the wonderful girls I get to see twice a week. So we went from having 9 Young Women to have 9 Beehives. Yahoo!!!

The Tulsa State Fair

Tulsa State Fair was the past 10 days. We went a couple of times, but here is our last visit. The Percheron (I don't think I am spelling it right) Horses were beautiful



The last like 10 years they have had a butter sculpture. Here is what it was this year. I should have taken a picture of the sign because it had all the details, but I think it said it was like 800 lbs of butter and took 10 hours to make and is stored at a temperature of 34 degrees.




We also watched a few of the shows like a magician, a hypnotist, but our favorite was Dan Dunn's Painting. Some may have seen him on Ellen. Here is a link to Dan's web page




He also did one of a race car driver (sorry my knowledge here is limited) and then one of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty he did in 3 min.

House Warming Gift

While my parents were out they bought us a rocking recliner (both for my dad to sleep in) but also for us to use. It was a great house warming gift. However, I had to find somewhere in the house to put it. I cleaned out the back bedroom (which is our TV room). Here is a picture. I think it looks like it has more room now. So here are the before and afters.




Not quite the same angle but TV is still in the same spot right on the other side of the pumpkin and Sam

One more plus

So from our Dave Ramsey class we are learning so much. We are now completely debt free except our house. We have started our emergency fund and no longer own a credit card. Yeah for learning to control our money instead of it controlling us.

If anyone is interested the class is offered everywhere. Go to Dave Ramsey. Grant was skeptical about it but after looking through the site he decided it was worth a try and we always thought we were good with our money but we have improved so much. I would recommend everyone take these Financial Peace University classes unless you have your CPA and then you should already know all of the info.
