Hard to tell in this picture, but the snow is coming down!  Looks like we are going to have a white Christmas!  Also looks like it will be snowing ON Christmas!  That is quite rare.  Looks like Missouri has a good chance for a white Christmas as well which it needs.  Not seen many at all in the years that we spent there.

 

We just got done watching "The Nativity Story" which is our annual movie tradition.  If you have not seen it...I suggest you go out and purchase it without any hesitation. 

 

 

I would like to wish each and everyone a wonderful Christmas!

 

Luke 2:1-14     In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.  So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." 

This is one awesome video

Make sure that if you are in an area that you cant listen to music, that you turn this down...but I suggest you turn up the volume if you are in an area where you can listen to music...and ROCK OUT!

HAPPY DOOMSDAY!!!!

 .....see you tomorrow.

DOOMSDAY EVE!

Welp!....Been nice!  Guess by this time tomorrow night, we will all have gone up in a blaze of glory as the apocalypse pulls its dark shroud of death over our world.  Weather forecast for the next 24 hours.....

Partly cloudy tomorrow morning with a 80% chance of falling asteroids after 10 am warming up to 5,897,000 degrees by the evening and cooling off to a crisp -890 degrees by midnight.  Allergy alert....those with asthma will need to stay indoors as dogs and cats will spontaneously combust causing higher than normal pet dander levels.

Just an FYI..

I    LOVE    MY   NEW   JOB!

 

Another year coming to a close.....

We just returned from our annual Branson Silver Dollar City Light Festival.  It was a hard thing to accomplish this year due to the fact that Deidra has no PTO saved up from her new job as of yet and I just started my new job Monday.  We bit our lips, rounded up the kids, hopped into the car and made a 12 hour journey to Missouri just to hang out for two full days and hop into the car for the 12 hour journey back to our new hometown.  Twas quite the haul, but worth every minute to be able to see our families and enjoy the traditional holiday event that we have come to love and look forward to.  Next year we should be ready to make the haul again and we be able to stay much longer.  None the less, we are approaching Christmas and are gearing up for our first New Year in the mountains.

Snow on the way!  Tonight I hear.  Should reach Missouri next week in the form of a cloudy, rainy and icy day or two.  Can't say I'll be missing that much.

For those of you star gazers out there....you will be happy to know that the "Geminids" will be blazing up the sky and it is supposed to be a doozy.  You should be able to see 120 or more "falling stars" every hour on the peak night of December 13th!  Click (HERE) to learn more.  Also wanted to mention some pretty crazy news I found out.  A HUGE comet is going to make its 1st known appearance to our little planet next year fall/winter.  Apparently it is the biggest, brightest ever to have been seen historically and is going to be brighter than the moon in our sky as it passes by.  Want to see what I am talking about I have included a link if you click (HERE) that will take you to a page that will go into details about this once in a lifetime extraordinary stellar event!

In other news:  It appears that a local weather man mistakenly predicted a massive tornado in Oakland due to the sucking noises coming from that area...found out in fact that that was just the Raiders team...they SUCK!  We beat the Raiders...again....no shocker here.  I was a little confused that they were still even an NFL team.  What do they call their home stadium again?  Oh yea...the "Bung Hole".  Anyway.......we used them to "pad the stats" so to speak...on to next week!

Go Broncos!
