House Update

So we got a call from the mortgage company on Friday. They told us to get a hold of our realtor on Tuesday and sit up a closing date for either the 18th or 21st. So hopefully we will be moving into our new home soon!! Well that is as long as it is okay with God. I can't wait to be able to get in there and paint and decorate the way I want to. We have lived in apartments or with family since we have been married, so you can't really do it the way that you want to. I am excited to have the yard so that we can just step out back and let the kids run around. And also I wanted to share a small blessing from God. Our gas grills leg rusted off a couple weeks ago. We have had it for just over a year now. We called the company today and they said that they would replace it for us. Yeah!!!! I really didn't want to have to go out and get a new one.

On a different note I ask that you all might say a prayer about my job. I have grown to really hate going in to work. A while ago I talked to our manager about the hours she was scheduling me to work. She had me working every night that I was there, and so I was never getting to see the two oldest. So then things got better for a while, and now we are right back to where we started. I don't get to go to any of the family's get togethers because of it, and I hardly see the two oldest now that they are back in school. I would love to turn in my two weeks notice and be done with it, but I don't see that being an option. But I ask that you might just say a prayer that if it is for me to get another job I would know where to look, and if it's not that things would get better at work. I love you all and hope that everything is going well for each of you.

Is There A House In Our Furture???

So we went Thursday afternoon and placed a offer on a house. Our realtor called us tonight and said the offer has basically been accepted and it just needed to be signed by us, but first she wanted to run a few more numbers. I am excited but scared all at the same time. First and for most I want to make sure that this is Gods will for us. Then with the way the economy is today any big purchase is scary. But if it's Gods will for us then I know he will see us through. The house would be perfect for us, and it's all one level....YEAH!!!! It has a nice size back yard already fenced in, which is what I wanted most for the kids. So as of right now all we can do is keep praying for Gods will to be done.

Back To School...

So yesterday was Isaac and Jonah's first day back to school. You would think since Isaac is now a third grader and Jonah is a first grader it would be easier to send them to school. But I found myself still wanting to cry as they both climbed onto their buses. I kept myself busy all day yesterday trying to make the time past by faster. And as soon as the clock hit 2:30 Noah and I headed down to the bus stop. Jonah was the first one to get home. And yes of course he got off the bus with a huge smile on his face. Noah was so happy when he saw the bus coming he started jumping up and down. So then we waited for Isaac to get home. As we stood there waiting we talked about Jonahs day. He was so worried that morning that none of his friends were going to be in his class this year. So I asked him who all was in his class, and he said just about all the kids that were in his class last year. So then Isaac's bus comes around the corner, and of course he got off the bus with a smile on his face also. Once we got back home Isaac and I talked about his day. He has his same teacher from last year, and a lot of his friends from last year are in his class. They both said they had a good day, and that put a smile on my face. Oh how they grow up so fast!!

The Verdict Is In....

So we found out the sex of our little one today. We are going to be having another little boy!! A girl would of been nice, but boys are just as good. Plus everyone one says boys are so much easier than girls. And also we have everything for a little boy, so we don't have much to buy. So now we just have another 20 weeks to wait, till we can enjoy our new addition.

Our Trip to the Zoo...

So today we decided to take the kids to the zoo. we started the morning out with heading to the schools to get the boys both registered for school. They go back on August 12. So then we went and met up with Sis. Frankie and headed to the zoo. It was a hot and crowded day at the zoo. But we made the best of it and had fun. We first went and saw the fish, and sharks, then to the penguin, seals and polar bear. Frankie and I got to pet a shark for the first time. That was cool!! They are very soft feeling. Then we headed over to the plains and saw the giraffe, lions, monkeys, and elephants. After taking many stops through there we headed over to the rabbits, goats, horses, and sheep. Isaac and Jonah got to go in and pet the goats and walk around with them. They both thought that was really neat. Then it was time for the dolphin show. I love dolphins and it made it even better cause Noah actually sat still and watched the show. Then we ended the day at the splash zone. They were all drenched from head to toe by the time we left. I wish I would of had the camera for this, but I didn't want it to get wet. I think this may have been all of their favorite part. But all in all it was a good day.

So other than that everything has been going well around here. Just getting ready for school and a baby. We go and find out what we are having next Monday. I can't wait, I am so excited!!Well that is as long as the little thing decides to cooperate with us. Hope everyone is doing good and until next time God bless.

Change In Plans..

Well we had planned on heading out tomorrow for Kentucky. Well that was until our two year old decided to get sick tonight. Sis. Krissy baby sits for me and she told me today that he wasn't being him self. So then this afternoon we went for a ride and lets just say it turned sour. So we have decided to put off our trip for now. But we still have the weekend off to enjoy and try to relax. If Noah comes to your mind I ask that you say a prayer. With me being pregnant and sick all the time it is hard for me to clean him up. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Love and prayers!!

Heading Out Friday...

Well we are heading out Friday afternoon (Lord willing) to head to Kentucky. I am so excited to be going. Just to be able to get away for a couple days and get to see all the brethren there. Plus it is so beautiful there. I love to just get out there and drive around, lots of hills and valleys. We plan on heading back on Monday, and then Tuesday is my hubby's 30th birthday. Not sure what we are going to do for him, I have to work noon to six. Maybe a special dinner or something, who knows? But I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and I'll post about the trip when I get back.
