Wii are nuts. I have been trying to buy a Wii Game Console since Christmas. In the last two days I have bid on 30 Wii Consoles on Ebay. After calling every Gamestop within 20 miles, spending last Saturday on a Wii Trek. Someone at Target told us they were getting a big shipment of Wii Systems on Sunday morning. We decided to do the right thing and wait till Monday. We even asked Heavenly Father to help us find one in our prayers since we wanted to do the right thing. I went to Target on Monday and they told me they had 72 systems that were sold by 3 pm Sunday. As I am on Ebay, I keep seeing receipts from Target (They require the seller to show a receipt to verify that they bought the system). We have a game at Christmas but still no Wii. Okay while writing this blog, I won. Now I am scared. The system is used and the seller doesn't have many transactions. A few years ago I bought an Xbox and received a box of junk in the mail. Ebay wouldn't help me because they said it was a dispute on the quality of what I purchased. After all I did receive a box full of video game stuff. The seller disappeared. I wasn't the only one. Three or four other folks received their Xbox.
Oh well...Do I ask the kids to pray that it is a legitimate seller.
Enough for now...love to all.

On Sunday, Doug and I celebrated our 12th Anniversary. Early on in our marriage, an anniversary meant a trip somewhere, now we just watch a movie and say we are glad to be together and that we would do it all over again. To honor my husband, here are twelve things I love about Doug:


1. He never complains about the state of our house and when we need it cleaned for guests, he always pitches in.
2. He always gives backrubs without expecting me to return the favor.
3. He helps the kids nightly with homework.
4. He lets me warm my ever-cold feet on his at night in bed.
5. He is consistently kind.
6. He supports me in my callings. Even when I volunteer his services.
7. He often makes dinner with leftovers and will bring me a plate if I'm am still working.
8. He lets me choose what movie we see.
9. He makes really great omelettes.
10. He is a great father.
11. He cleans the carpets and is incredibly handy at fixing things.
12. He is a great friend and partner.
Enough for now...love to all.
