T-Bo helped James all day today working on the stable. It made James so happy!

I got a text from Kim this afternoon while I was napping wanting to know if we had our tree up yet. She said, "If not, I am coming right now to work on it." I texted back 30 minutes later: Sorry, i was asleep. No we have not. Are you sure?" Kim: Yes. We are on our way. I can probably only work on it tonight but will get as much done as I can. Especially the top. That way if you have to finish you won't have to get on any ladders. Kim is so thoughtful.

After James and T-Bo finished work James and I went into town. It was around 3:30. We stopped and picked up a dozen tamales from Rosa and then stopped at the post office. Little Nellie Wilhelm said hi to me. We mailed Paul's birthday card and information to American Fidelity Insurance about auto withdrawal from our new account. We picked up my new Book of Mormon guide for next years Come Follow Me lessons. I ordered it from the Redheaded Hostess.

We ordered two medium Hook & Ladder subs from Firehouse and James went in to Home Depot to get a new saw blade. 

After eating dinner at home I was walking around the high table and saw Kim and Brian drive up. 

Brian brings up the tree, the lights, and our two wreaths. Kim starts checking the lights. They brought Tom a new house. When I told Kim that Tabby was gone she said, "Oh I am sure she is living her best life ever, wherever she is."

We watched the DWTS finale. It was really good. I especially enjoyed Mark and Charli's dance, Jason & Danielle's free style and Xochitl & Val's redemption fox trot where Xochitl got to wear the pink polka dot dress. When it go time to announce the winner this is how it went down:

5th place - Alison & Sasha

4th place - Charity & Artem

3rd place - Ariana & Pasha

2nd place - Jason & Danielle

1st place - Xochitl & Val

This is just exactly as I hoped it would be!
