Countdown

50 days to go!!!!!!!!

Bzzy, bzzy weekend!

We made a quick trip to Illinois over the weekend to help Nathan and Trish move. (I know they couldn't have done it without my help! HA! I was able to waddle a few things into their new house!) Congrats on owning your own home! We really liked it and are looking forward to all your ideas!!...of course, we made time to take a trip to Daisy Lane...best scrapbook store I've ever been to! (That's saying a lot!)

On our way home, Wesley wanted to stop at some of his favorite antique stores. Thankfully, he didn't buy anything. Goodness knows he doesn't need anymore junk! Since I waddled through with him, we meandered through a scrapbook store with me. Low and behold I didn't get any scrapbook items there either!

I started teaching Jr Church this month...seems like my turn came awfully fast this time! We're doing the Beatitudes, so there are bees everywhere. We didn't go crazy with decorations this time...think we were kinda burnt out after VBS. I must say...I'm taking any volunteers who would like to take my place! I don't know why, but I'm having a very hard time getting into it this month. The kids were awesome today, but I guess I just have too much on my mind! Karen told me that when you're pregnant your brain turns into placenta...think she might be right. Pretty sure the kids left confused! None of my thoughts flowed very smoothly...oh, and my previous principal was the helper. She was probably thinking..."And we hired her to teach kids how to read?"

Wesley starts 2nd shift tomorrow. He seems to think he'll like that better. Don't know if his precious wife will.

Gossip Topics

I would love to tell all you bloggers that I have some earth shattering news...

• We won the lottery without playing (don't worry, we'll tithe...)
• Wesley was named CEO of Cummins, Toyota, and Eli Lilly
• We're having triplets
• We're building a mansion with 10 bedrooms, 5 baths, indoor swimming pool, beautiful gardens, etc.
• We're now driving BMW's
• I invented a cure for cancer

But, alas...I have none! Sigh... So, for all those lurking out there, if you're bored, I have just given you some great gossip topics.

Seriously, what I've been up to...looking at piles of boxes, making songs for school, setting up Jr Church (my turn to teach-Yippee!), selling cards, and going insane!!! The last word there pretty much describes everything!

Human Smore

Gene promised the kids at VBS if they could get 85 kids, he would allow them to make him into a human smore...chocolate syrup, graham crackers, and marshmallows! He gave them a break and on the last night he made it 70 kids. We made it!

Disgusting!!!

Free Tickets

Wes & I got free tickets to the Brian Free & Assurance concert tomorrow night. It had been mentioned that a bunch of us get the general admission tickets and all go together. Well, since I've had absolutely nothing else to think about, (ha ha) I kinda forgot it was this Saturday. So, I had the radio on yesterday, and they said all the tickets had been bought by a church and a couple of businesses and they were just giving them out to whoever called them. I didn't call them at first because I figured they were already gone. But, he kept announcing it, so I figured what would it hurt. We got two Artist Circle tickets...we could even meet and greet the group at the beginning of the the concert. La-te-da! So, after a "WILD" week at VBS, we're going to enjoy this!

We're also going tonight to look at a house/interview with the landlord. Pray that it works out...if it's supposed to. It's actually a house in our price range...

Life

What a weekend/coming week!

Saturday, our church had a baby shower. I received sooooo many nice things...pretty sure some went a little overboard! :) I know it's hard to resist all the cute little pink things they have out there...I don't have pictures of the shower (Mom has some on her site) because I'm getting copies from Amy. Here is all the stuff together before I packed it up...you can't even see it all because there were layers of things!

We really appreciate everything!!!!! Amy and Karen did an awesome job decorating too! However, Karen was a little stingy in not letting me keep the Longaberger baskets that were in the center of the tables filled with goodies! :) I did get to keep all the goodies though...

We started VBS last night. Always a fun thing to go to when you already have a headache...

We had 57 kids on the first night!

Gene & Angie Davis are the workers.

Theme: Camp-Wanna-Praise-Him
The little ones may not understand the stories and songs, but they sure like the snacks!

We also made a flying trip to Lebanon to see my Grandpa Bailey who isn't doing very good. While we were already there, we decided to go ahead and stay for camp Sunday. Wesley also started his new job yesterday.

Well, gotta get some things done...

Answered Prayer!

Wesley got a job!!!!! Praise the Lord! This "ole Worry-Wort" feels like she can actually breathe again! (I'm pretty sure there was a lesson on patience/trust for me somewhere in all that...There was definitely one on patience for Wesley as he has endured all my weeping and wailing during this time. It really was not a fun time for the "fat" one). He's on his way to take his drug test (hope his "addiction" isn't caught...he he) and orientation is tomorrow. He starts Monday at Cummins. A BIG thanks to Bro. Thompson & Jonathan Walden for giving him a good reference.
Now, the search is on for somewhere to live...one that doesn't make me put up our child/husband/car/arms/legs in order to pay rent. I didn't think it was possible for us to find higher rent than Carmel, but we did! Crazy!
