Itchy ...

Been feeling the itch to change things around. Doesn't really help matters when the sister is moving to a house. I'm happy for her! But now I want to rearrange my bedroom and my spare room!

Also, recently I have had an increase in my tupperware collection. Let me just say how much I love that stuff! My pantry is totally reorganized and my produce in the fridge actually lasts till I can eat it!!! I bought lettuce 2 wks ago and it still looks so fresh and I'm still eating it!

New cooking experiments have been going down in my kitchen too. The girls decided that we were going to make mom a homemade cheesecake for her birthday dessert so I made it! Then I made another for a friend who is out of country so she could know the measurements she needed. That recipe is getting an encore performance soon ;)

And finally started working out regularly again. Thanks to my buddy :) She is also part of the inspiration to clean up our diet. That and tupperware making it possible for produce to last! Next on the to do list is finding new jobs for both the hubby and me...

Aaaaaa

Has it really been this long since last post??????? OY VEY! Sorry guys ... Have new smart phone and just downloaded the app for blogger so maybe I will remember to check it? Lol

Got to get back to work :)

Millie

this past weekend we drove to Kentucky with the sisters for the funeral of their Aunt Millie. such an emotional weekend! the service was beautiful and the pics were great and Adam sang his song perfectly and before falling apart. i know that both millie and nelda were proud of him. i was (and still am :) ). millie's husband had a really hard time (everyone could see that) but carl had a difficult time as well b/c he considered millie a sister not an in-law. adam compared it to how he would feel if we lost my baby sister....that was a heart-wrenching thought! i didnt really know millie except for the one visit we made the week before she passed, but she seemed to be a wonderful person. my pain in all this comes from seeing how all those i love miss her so and feeling their pain. she is with her Lord and together with her sister again and at some point we will be with them again :)

almost forgot!

in this interim of posts, we also got to take an anniversary trip! Travis and Sarah's parents oh so graciously loaned us their lake house in the Jasper, Ga area!!! it was one of the best trips we have been able to take since we got married! and the only one so far that didnt involve some kind of work ;) that trip was such a huge blessing! we were able to relax, be without any kind of timetable, nothing that had to be done, the chance to explore a new area.....oh the wonderfulness :) i did not want to come back at all...

so adam's interview yesterday went great! but we cant make any kind of plans until after they re-connect once the sept 15 extensions deadline is past....at least with this company. the guy also said that he would keep eyes and ears open for other opportunities for adam in that area :) and this hubby-o-mine is also still keeping an eye out for other options....so, still learning this waiting thing....

Time really flies doesnt it?

wow, it has really been a while since i have posted! sorry bout that folks!

since last we talked, i've gone on a road trip to New York to visit friends...talk about a whirlwind weekend... and on the way back, we dropped in on my grandparents.  lovely visit, and my Pepere gave me his old camera! it is a really nice Nikon with several lenses and the flash and the tripod and the filters and can you tell i'm excited? lol so once i found some film (that was rather hard actually, target was the only place i found who still sells it!) it was time to experiment. up to this point, i've only finished 2 rolls but there is definite improvement between them. i really like this new hobby and am very grateful to Pepere for inspiring it!

then we helped to chaperon the youth group on the mission trip to LaGrange, Wyoming.  that was a long drive, but we got a lot done and hopefully we were a blessing to the people there. the kids all worked really hard; we are proud of them :) the dorm we were told to paint actually survived hehehehe :P not too much paint where it didnt belong....lol (bill and karen made sure it got cleaned very well, btw) we took lots and lots of pictures while on the road to and from Wyoming (and in between). keep an eye on facebook for those, they will probably be on his page tho....

work has changed again for me...i now make the biscuits for breakfast, the salads for lunch, and wash all the dishes afterwards.....its been fun! but i do still miss the busy-ness of the drivethru. i just have a different busy-ness now lol :)

on the career front, adam has an interview tomorrow in birmingham! its finally happening! the last time it was scheduled, the car died (like really died, is no more) and he was rescued by a friend in the area until i got off work, but at least they got a phone interview, sort of.....here's to hopefully being able to make plans soon!

and yes, we are down to just my car....again....have i mentioned how much i like my car? and how much i really dont like to be taxied around? oh well, it is only for a time and a purpose...and i love that he still asks me if i would like to drive :) we split it anyway ;)

engagements and weddings!

so excited! some of our friends are getting married this year! got a wedding in june and and one in the fall :) (not to mention my sister next year) tonight we are going to an engagement party for some really dear friends. we couldn't be more thrilled for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Times...They Are A'changing

just for the sake of curiosity, does any one know that song i'm referring to? just wondering....

It has been a while since my last post, and a lot of things have been changing and others are about to change.  One of the "nice" changes is the several friends have either moved back to the area or settled in the area.  Having friends near by is really nice for actually keeping those friends lol :)

Tax season is almost over! That means I can have my Husband back! lol
but seriously, when that season really is over, more things will change.  Adam feels called to return to school and the most likely one that he would go to is Samford University in Birmingham.  So, the season ends for taxes, then it's on to the job applications and resumes and school applications .... then eventually, housing changes, which would mean that we would finally be leaving! aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

I was talking to a friend about all this the other day and he reminded me that it is all a part of God's plan and it's in His hands and it's my job to not worry (not that i was just yet).  So here is to me not worrying :)

On the fun side of things, frisbee has been resumed for the season :)
A friend's wedding is coming up and showers are being planned and the house looks great! can't wait to see it again or even be allowed to help with the renovations :D :D :D
and i want to get my hair cut...it has gotten much too long for summer wear....
