Sarah Short and Gaudy

I am treasured wife and girlfriend to Don, who by the way is pretty close to having developed the patience of a saint over the past 11 years. I am the constantly busy mother of 5, ages 6,7,9,10 and 11! (boy, girl, boy, girl,& boy) I love people and their idiosyncrasies! I enjoy having many friends with varying interest and personalities! God has richly blessed me! The notes above are only a small sampling of all He has accomplished on my behalf. YEAH GOD!!!

Update

Finally left Tuesday night around 7:45pm. Stove was fixed. Had to stop on our way out to buy a cord for the DVD player... A must on long trips!!!
Arrived at 5:30 AM CST. 24 hours and 10 minutes since I climbed out of bed. VERY short cat nap on the way. Drove half of the trip. Rain the whole way.
Mother in law spoiled and pampered the weariness out of us.
Lots of holiday traditions.
Friends, new and old, caught up with.
Ham, roast, fudge, cookies, pizza, peanut butter and Jelly, salad, lasagna...
Spoiled again by Aunt Lois who knows I LOVE Chilis!
Round 2 of gingerbread decorating. So glad for family willing to undertake such an ordeal with our 5!
Headed home today. Need to crash!!!
Pictures to come!
