Why I am blogging......

I started this blog to up-date others on the day-to-day events of our family. As the children grew older, and I grew wiser, I realized I wanted to change my direction, and the children wanted to be ommitted from the blog completely. I hope to still manage to include them from time to time but perhaps just through pictures. I am searching for my niche, and way to help lighten the load of others and perhaps lead others to my savior, Jesus Christ. I am focusing on "What really matters" and hopefully, I can help others in some small productive way. While I am changing gears, I will still be throwing in random thoughts, recipes and etc. I am glad you stopped by and bear with me, as I begin to grow and span my wings and fly in a new direction!

The Haley's are still alive....

I have NOT been a good blogger lately! Understatement:) Just to catch up on a few things..........I can't believe how quickly this year has flown by!!! Kallie has already signed up for her second semester classes and Kyle... well he is just counting the days until Thanksgiving break and Christmas break. He says he only has two and a half years left of school!!!!

I love Thanksgiving! It is my favorite holiday. All the Garrison's will be here and then we go to Pa and Janice's later in the day. Ross and Jesse will be home and honestly we will all play catch up because it has been awhile since I have seen them and even my brothers'. Everyone has such a busy schedule, running here and there but not really going anywhere!!! How can that be??? Life.........

When I start thinking about becoming a bahhhh hum bug I think how blessed we are. I am determined to not let commercial-ism get the best of me. I will be happy in the moment and thankful for my family. The stores are to blame for smothering folks to death with Christmas, with the trees being up with Halloween. Please----

More later. love and peace to all--hootie hoot:))))))))
