Things I would do if I was suddenly a billionaire: I would relax about our "retirement"!

3 of my bad habits:--

Saving too much stuff(I am getting better about letting the old stuff go)

buying fancy ribbon--I love the big rolls at Costco and it is such a good deal, but I think I have about 20 rolls and I know I will never be able to use it all!

A little PEP from the Miller Pep Band!

Here is a little snip of the Miller Pep Band at last nights Basketball game. It was Senior night, they played North Eugene and came in second by about 10 points. Oh well, It's all about the music anyway! Enjoy--I know this will bring back some fond "Miller" memories for some of you!!

Grandkids feeding ducks

I did this video last year of Nathan and his family down at Alton Baker park feeding the ducks. I love the music......I'll probably use it again sometime for another video when I can get all the grandkids......cause to me they're a pocket full of miracles!
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share.

Community Creche Exhibit

So, here is a short video of the Creche Exhibit along with the spot from the news about it. This is the 6th year of the event we had nearly 800 Nativities (double from our first year). While people look at the display we have choirs and music groups from the community, and we also had a photographer and a manger scene with costumes etc for families to have a picture taken. This was the first year we expanded to Sunday and it was very successful. I have become a little obsessed with Nativities and this year I displayed 33 encluding 6 Nativitie pins that I bought on E-bay. As the tri-stake Public Affairs Director I have been in charge of this project since the beginning. It is sooooo much work, but very satisfying to watch it grow and get better and bigger each year. I feel strongly that it is important for us to "stand in our communities and testify of Jesus Christ" and that is especilly true in our community.
And now it is over for another year, I will start getting a new Committee together in March or April. But for now I will start getting ready for Christmas and getting excited for lots of family to come and play games and have Sprite and cheese and beef stick and crackers!! Can't wait!!
