Update of my life...

So I realized I haven't posted anything here lately. I have been pretty busy around here. With school starting and starting a new job. But all is going well. My job is OK, it's a job. The people all seem to be nice, I just hate being away from the family. I hardly get to see my husband. It seems like he gets home from work, and I leave for work. So while I was filling out apps. I had applied at a OB/GYN office as a receptionist. Well yesterday one of the lady's that work up there told Sis. Frankie that the spot had become available. So if it is God's will for me to get that job, I hope to get a call soon. But if that was to happen I would have to get a baby sitter for the youngest. So I ask that you might say a prayer. I don't want to have to take him to a day care, but I might have to. So I ask for your prayers in that. Isaac and Jonah are both doing well in school. I am so thankful for your prayers about it. I was so worried about Jonah. We went to Isaac open house last Monday and the teachers said he was doing great. He had some problems last year in reading. Well the way they do it this year is they have 3 different reading classes, well he is in the lowest one. When we talked to his reading teacher she said that they were probably going to move him up here soon. That they went off his test scores from the end of the year last year, and that he was just doing really good. Thank you God!! We really worked with him over the summer, thanks to the library's reading program. And then we went to Jonah's open house last night. His teacher said he was doing good. So I am so thankful for that news. I do ask prayer for my husband. He just called me and said that they were going to change his schedule at work, till they can find someone else. They had to fire someone. He said that he was going to be working nights on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursday, and he'll be doing the day shift on Fridays and Saturdays. Which leaves him with Mondays and Wednesdays off, so he doesn't miss any church, which is awesome. But that schedule messes with mine. He was at home with the kids while I was at work, and now he won't be able to. So that means I would be able to work a whole 2 days. And that's not really worth it. So I do ask that you might pray that they can find someone right away. Well I guess I kind of got carried away so I will get off here now.

First Day of School

So today was the first day of school. Isaac started 2nd grade, and Jonah started kindergarten. Isaac done just fine. He got up ate breakfast, brushed his teeth and then we walked down to the bus stop. Then there was Jonah. He really didn't do as bad as what I thought he would do. I thought we would end up having to take him to school. He got up with Isaac and he watched TV as Isaac ate breakfast. Then he walked with us to take Isaac to the bus stop. Then we came back and got him some food. Then we walked down to his bus stop. That's when he told me that his tummy was hurting. I got down with him and we said a prayer together. Then I sat and talked with him till his bus got there. Bro. Jimmy recorded it as I took pictures and helped him get on the bus. I got him to wave to us and even got a little smile as the bus pulled away. I never told Jonah, but I wanted him to stay as much as he wanted to stay. It almost brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe how fast they grow up. Well I thought it was over, that was until around 9:00. The school called and said that Jonah had wet his pants. Jonah had said at the bus stop he had to go, but we didn't have enough time to come back home. I told him to tell a teacher when he got to school, but I guess he didn't. So when I got to the school he just started crying. We got him all changed, and he had stopped crying by then. They wouldn't let me walk him back to class, but the school nurse gave him so gold fish and said she would walk him back. So now I sit here waiting for him to get home. It's all day kindergarten but today and tomorrow he only goes till 10:40 and on Friday he goes till 12:00. That way it gets them use to it instead of just throwing them into something that they are not use to. So if you think about it please continue to keep the boys in your prayer.

I Got a Job

First I want to say thanks for all the prayers that went out for me and a job. I had an interview yesterday at Dick's Sporting Goods. They offered me a job on the spot. But the hours and pay are way lower then what I needed. The one good thing is that it is hours when my husband is home, so he can stay with the kids. Of course I told them I would have to go home and talk it over with my husband. It is not exactly what I was looking for, but it is a job for now. Lord willing I will find something more along the lines of what I need. So I ask that you might say a prayer that I would be able to do a good job for them. And that if it is the Lord's will for me to get a job else where that something would come availible.

What a Great Day !!


What a wonderful Sunday we had. It started out by going to church. I really enjoyed church, and what was said. There wasn't a whole lot there due to brethren visiting other places and brethren going on vacation, but it was still good. I am usually in the back room with the youngest, cause he won't be quite, but he slept all through church. I actually got to listen and hear what was being said....yeah!!! Then we rode with Sis. Frankie to go deliver a cake, and then we went home and I got to see my husband. He's been working nights so I haven't seen a lot of him. So I was happy to get home and spend some time with him. We ended up taking the kids down to the pool. We had lots of fun. This summer we have been trying to work with Jonah to get him out of the armies. Every time we would take them off of him he would get scared and say he couldn't do it. Well that is something we don't take, we try and get them to see that they can do anything, they just have to want to. So Jonah yesterday asked if he could take one off. So we done that and he swam around for a while. Then I got him to float on his back with both of them on. So I asked him if he was ready to try it without any on. So we did and he did great. So after he saw he could float with no floaters he decided to try the swimming with no floaters,and he did great. So we finally got him out of the armies....yeah!!! After swimming we came back and grilled out. It was such a wonderful day, and I am so thankful that God allowed us it.

Also I ask that you would keep Isaac and Jonah in your prayers. They start school next Wednesday (Aug. 13). Isaac will be going into 2nd grade and Jonah will be starting kindergarten. So if you think about it please say a prayer.
