Happy Holidays Friends

Well, here I am and I have not written on my blog for a long time again. Well, here is what is new with Chaulle:

1. I have my invitations almost complete (btw I am getting married:)
2. I have my reception and open house pretty much planned.
3. I am going home to Washington for Christmas on December 22nd.
4. I am getting ready to really set my craft talents going as to take what I've made and actually selling the stuff. This is a combination of my photography/woodworking/card-making activities that I have been told I am good at. I'm considering E-Bay, Craigslist, or perhaps even advertising through BlogSpot (after all, I did find my wedding dress through an add on BlogSpot).
5. I am getting going on the AVON selling venture for the second time and I am praying that with added motivation I can make some money down here in Utah. Time will tell.

Well, dear friends, I love ya and hope that your holiday season is poured over with hope, gratitude, and optimism (though these are not exactly the best of times due to the economy). I know I could improve on looking at my life and be grateful to have air in my lungs, a regular heartbeat, and most of all, apply my knowledge that a little baby was born in a far away land, and His life is the reason why we celebrate Christmas, and that we should be as decent, kind, honorable, forgiving (of ourselves too), and that we should see this life as a time to seek Him everyday.

May we everyday see His hands, heart, and love manifesting itself through the common everyday things. May we see all that love can be because of Jesus and his constant concern for our ultimate happiness. I testify that we can do these things with a constant and earnest effort to be the best we can be, with His help. I say these things in Jesus' name, amen.
