In The week of Ginger

I would like to wish myself a very Happy Birthday. That's right I turned a year older this week. Along with getting older I lost a few memory cells as well. I've been so forgetful this past week and I can only blame it on my age. I'm not looking forward to next year to see how much more of my memory will be shot. I mean come on I'm only 28(31), that's still young, right?


What else is going on? Yes, we just found out Justin is leaving December 7th for two months to go over seas and serve his country. We are a little, okay a lot bummed out that he will be gone for Christmas, but what can we do. In order to have a him home for Christmas we will be having a Thanksgiving/Christmas here at the Benson house this year. It is going to be a big surprise for the kids.

Last night I had a fun time with some of my friends and went and saw Twilight. I liked it but I LOVE the book better. Of course I can't wait to see New Moon. Just found out they will be making the sequel, so excited!!!

Today in church I just got released from my ward calling as being the Ward Bulletin person, it was a fun easy job, but I coulden't help feeling I need something a little more challenging. So today they called me to be apart of the Wards Activities Committee. I can't tell you how excited I was to receive this calling, I've been wanting it since I served on it in Germany. I have so many ideas just waiting to come alive.

Hope everyone has a very wonderful Thanksgiving. And Merry Christmas.
