44th President

Well as of a few minutes after noon we have a new president, the 44th president of the US. Tracy was at school watching with her class, the boys and I were home having lunch and watching, Mike was at the lodge watching; so we all watched history being made. We woke to Dunkin Donuts this am as Daddy was doing airport runs for the conference this past weekend. Then later today, Daddy brought home an expedition - maroon with tan the old style I wanted. Big day for us, tomorrow brings settlement for the construction loan. We found out today that we had to self fund the loan, only what we've shoveled out will be loaned back to us. So we will see what tomorrow brings, I can say this tomorrow and the transactions are being bathed in prayer so that we use wisdom and do what the Lord has planned for us.

Not like I planned

I should be used to that line, it seems to be the story of my life! Our day as a family had a few others involved as we woke up to about an 1" of snow, which of course meant Mike had to go shovel and salt sidewalks. That didn't last too long, but then the electrician showed up and out he went again. We finally left the apartment at 11, but then didn't really have a game plan. My only hope for the day was Dunkin Donuts, but we never made it. We tried 5 fat guys (burger place in Blacksburg) for lunch which had a great hot dog and then I was tired and it was nap time. Mike dropped the kids and I off at home to get naps while he went and got groceries. By the time everyone was done napping and Daddy made it home, it just seemed to late to get donuts. I think donuts is a Saturday thing - it really just seemed like too much of a hassle, especially when it was really just to get a smoothie! I did manage to finish up my lesson plans for the next 2 weeks which will make things easier for school. The weather is calling for snow again tonight/tomorrow so we will see what happens with that. Supposedly Friday is going to be 50s again; what a change from the kids playing in the snow today.
