Halloween

It has been a good weekend. Friday night was lots of fun. We had a house full of kids ( 8 to be exact) scaring trick or treaters, playing the Wii and hide and seek. Us parents had a great time eating candy, laughing, and watching the trick or treaters get scared. We are very blessed to have such good friends. One of the families that was there has a special place in my heart. We have been friends for 12 years. We have had children at the same time. We vacation together. She is one of my best friends and he is a good man. They found out on Friday that he lost his job because of "restructuring" and my heart is broken for them. He is great at what he does so I am sure it will not take long for him to get another job but this is a family that does not deserve this. It makes you really think about what you have. These are uncertain times and I am aware that Chip's job is something that should not be taken for granted.
By the way, I found my dress for this weekend and so now I'm excited. I just watched the weather and saw that it's going to be cold that night. My dress is cute but I'm going to freeze! :-)
Tonight I am thankful for Chip's job that has always provided well for us.
