Loving the New Place!

I'm hoping that there are still some of you out there that will still read this! Yes, I know it's been too long, but my life is slowly returning to normal, so now I'll have more time to write.

Where to begin....

I have a new job, and the kids I work with are my pride and joy. I was thinking about posting some pictures, but I thought that the parents of my kids wouldn't be too thrilled to have their child's picture online for all the world to see, so I axed that idea. I have 7 kids on my roster, though I usually only have 5 a day. I have 4 that come every day, and the other 3 only come once or twice a week. I'm finding it easier to get up in the mornings, though I know I'll never enjoy it. My days go by rather quick, which I like, but Mike and I are both adjusting to my new, earlier bedtime. We're night owls- well used to be that is, so he's all sad that I can't watch late night TV with him anymore. He'll live. :-)


So it was my birthday on Easter, and I was so excited that my mom and my older sis decided to pay me a visit, and help with getting the house ready to move into. But I was very sad that it was yet another birthday that i didn't spend with Becca- I actually cried when I blew out my birthday candles because Becca wasn't there to blow them out with me!!!! I miss you girl! But it was so nice to have mom and Allison here. They did some packing and some painting, and I am SOO grateful because I was feeling so overwhelmed about it all. Thanks so much guys! You're the best!

So we moved in on Saturday, and we're about 80% unpacked, and I LOVE our new house! I can't believe that this is our place! I come home from work and I just thank the Lord for his provision! Mike and I are slowly furnishing the place- we actually had our downstairs sofa delivered today at 6:45 in the morning. How unhappy was I!!!

I'm sorry this blog isn't as exciting as I wanted it to be, but I'll write again soon. I wanted to show ya'll some pics of our new place. Check it out!

Ps- the fist pic is the basement that Mike and I (but mostly Mike) finished! Didn't he do such a great job!

Too Busy!!!

I feel like I'm always apoligizing at the start of all my blogs for not writing as frequently as i should, but this time I have a really good excuse!!!

1. We're moving in a week, and all my free time is spent getting the new house ready and the old house packed.
2. I started a new job, and it's the first time i've worked 40 hours a week in years. Yes, it's sad but true. So needless to say I'm always tired!
3. we have 14 Easter services at the church, and on any given night in the past week I've either had rehersals or services, and I don't get home till 10 at night. Bedtime.
4. My computer is on the fritz, so i have to use Mike's and he is always working, so internet access has been limited.
5. It's my birthday tomorrow, so you can't be mad.

We move Saturday, and shortly after that my life will resume to normalness. So be patient, and still love me!
