We've Moved



Wow! What a huge job it is to move! Not much fun, but it's over with!!! Thanks to everyone who came and helped and those who said they would have helped if we had let them known :) ...we did it very spur of the moment! Rachel E. and Debbie pretending like their working...


Our biggest helpers, of course! I took a picture of a living room corner that I have done, but for some reason my camera has been taking pictures and then deleting them! That's NOT GOOD! Haven't got much done today...went back to the old house and scrubbed! Fun, fun, fun...as I cannot get down to do so. Wes was a HUGE help!!!!!! He did a lot of work! Now, I need to change addresses and transfer things! That really sounds like a knee-slappin' good time!

Congratulations!


Congrats to our good friends Micheal and Rachel Edwards!!! They are expecting another baby boy!!! She's 5 1/2 months along and still looks like a toothpick...SIGH...
Their daughter kinda slipped and told me a few months back, but her mommy and daddy ignored me when I asked if she was tellin' tales. So, I kept my mouth shut until they admitted it tonight! Ha! I knew she let the cat out of the bag...

Our New Abode

We finally found a house to rent! Praise the Lord! It's been like pulling teeth, especially since the flood!!! It's either been; they STINK (literally), the Landlord's retarded (I guess mentally challenged might sound better), or the rent is $2,000 (kinda not our price range)!

A HUGE thanks goes to Sis. Stetler, mom's pastor's wife. She called her nephew, Jeff Finke-a realtor, and found us a place. It's an older home, but has lots of character and will do quite nicely for us simple folk.


This is my favorite part!!! It's in the dining room.


Need some weed killer or a goat! (Back yard)

Just finished setting up the gas and electric...that was sooo not fun! They only asked about a million questions! So, it looks like I'm going to be busy for awhile! Lots of cleaning, scrubbing, and last minute packing. I'm off to go sniff some Lysol...j/k!

Spa Treatment


Tonight, I went to a spa party with a couple of ladies from church. It was fun and relaxing, but I was disappointed!...I didn't walk away beautiful like I'd so hoped for. :)

(Perhaps Sheila will post her pictures and I can steal them! I'm sure there are some dandies!)

Countdown

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

Sunday, July 6, 2008

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!
