Still here as in still alive and still in our current house. No new updates on our housing situation. An investor was here today and another will come tomorrow so it is just a wait and see thing. So, for now we are taking it one day at a time and knowing that tonight we know where we will sleep and tomorrow we may not! The owner is a wonderful Christian man and he really does have our best interest at heart and we are all praying for God's will in this situation. Whatever happens-GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF US!
Our new home in Red Springs is coming along. Finally decided on a paint color for our kitchen cabinets, painted one and actually liked it! Soon I will begin posting some before and after pics. The girls' bathroom was our biggest project (some of which a contractor did and we are finishing up) so hopefully it will be finished SOON!
Tidbit I learned last week at MOPS: anti-perspirant stick can be used on insect stings (bees, ants, etc) to help with the pain. Never knew that!
This is a new pound cake recipe that I have cooked recently: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/01/perfect-pound-cake/ Cream cheese is my favorite pound cake but I saw this one and decided to try it for supper club. It is lighter (as in not as dense, not as in fewer calories!) and has a citrusy taste. It was really good with fresh strawberries and homeade whipped topping (the homeade stuff is really better!) I made another one this week to take to a friend who had a baby. My sister Connie wanted the recipe so I put the link here in case anyone else might want it.
Valentine's is quickly approaching and the Hall house is EXCITED! You know we LOVE Valentine's and celebrate in lots of different ways. Since it is on Sunday this year we will do our traditions at different times. Our church has a widow and widowers banquet each year and that is Sat nt. and we are looking forward to that being part of our celebration this year.
I am speaking at church on Sunday. We have opening assembly before SS and the man who usually does that is in Africa right now so he asked me to do it. I still do not know what I am speaking on. I am really hoping God will reveal that to me SOON! Prayers please. I am not the speaker of the family! Seriously, what do I have to say??? Well I have a lot to say but not sure everyone wants to hear it!
Sallie cut herself some bangs this week. Thankfully she did not cut them short and they are even. She already had a hair appt for today so our hair stylist blended them in some. She is so proud of them! Me, not so much!!!
We are supposed to have snow moving in tonight. We'll see!
Lizzie has been singing a song that says, "without grumbling or complaining" and something like "service to Jesus". She sings the same parts over and over. However, she has NOT stopped grumbling or complaining about doing what I ask her to!!! Maybe it will sink in soon!
I need to go clean or pack or de-clutter or pray about what I am supposed to speak on Sunday or sleep or something productive!

Love and MISS you!!!
P.S. Thanks for the recipe...did I ever tell you that Southern Living highlighted the Pioneer Woman in one of their latest issues...I'll have to look and see if I can scan it and email it to you! :)
Yes we are getting snow! It is really pretty! Hope you all get some too! Thank you so much for the prayers. There is a lot of pressure to say the right thing-I mean I am the pastor's wife! HA! I know you know what I mean. SO, relying totally on God! I know, I saw it when I was standing in line at WM one day and so I actually broke down and paid the $5 to get it! I love her recipes!!! Love you!
