Pictures of Bethel Methodist Church - not sure when they quit having regular services... I do know they never went "modern" like most methodist churches are these days.
Sometimes it is just the simple things in life.

Burrrr Its Cold Outside
Today we are having our first winter weather of the season. Yesterday it was a sunny 60 degrees, but by evening the wind changed and temps started falling fast. By 11pm it was 30 degrees and blowing snow. Yes snow. you know you live in Missouri when you have to use AC and Heat all in the same day! lol
Woke up this morning to a breezy chill, snow blowing still and a temperature of 19 and a wind chill of 2. BURR. Not only was it cold outside, hubby was running late this morning and didn't put any wood in the fire. Not a coal was smoldering when I got up at 7:30...not only was the fire OUT, but hubby also didn't pull the backdoor all the way shut, so the wind blew it open... I have a thermometer in my room - it said the indoor temp was 42. sheesh.
Finally got the fire burning good around 8:30 or so- the wind blew the tarp off the woodpile so all of our wood was wet and frozen. Yay! not... Started a pot of ham and beans this morning, the house has that cozy smell - love that cozy smell.
Now if only I could get it warm enough in here that my feet were warm. But even if I had the stove full my feet would probably still be cold. One thing I hate about old houses- they built them right on the ground. Literally our living room is only about 10 inches off the ground. Makes the floor awfully cold in the winter- kinda wish we would have went with carpet instead of laminate flooring. Didn't do carpet because the options were limited- our room is 15 1/2 feet wide... carpet normally comes in 12 foot rolls, there are some 15s but not many. Especially not many at places like Lowes or discount carpet places. Some day I am going to have heated floors...in my new house...when I win the lottery bwahahaha!
I am still sick. I have had a sore throat now for 9 days, and my head hurts non-stop. I have completed a z-pack (today being the final day) and I now have a very pink eye - put drops in it, sure hope I am not getting pink eye again! argh.

Well it is 2012!
Not much exciting going on around here. I got my hair cut uber short and am still very much getting used to it. I think I love it. I feel it makes me look... vintage. I have a bit of curl around the edges and I think it looks awesome with a bandanna. Wish I had an awesome apron to go with it, but I just can't shell out that kind of cash right now. I was surprised to find that a full length apron is anywhere from $20 to $40...- at least for a cute one that is. I can't wait until I get a sewing machine to try and make my own. I know for a fact you can get pretty material for $1.97 a yard so I can't see why they have to charge so much!
Over the past few days me, Sophia, and now Cooper have been sick. Yucky colds/flu sick. Ear infections, pink eye, snotty noses. yuck. but luckily we are all feeling a bit better.
oh how I wish the cleaning fairy would come pay me a visit.
