Hi all!

It's been a long time since I have posted anything...and alot has happened.

Johnny has a job! Tomorrow will be a week of him working and we are ecstatic! So far so good, he doesn't really say much, typical of him.

Maddie is still her sassy self....yesterday at church she kept asking to talk to the Pastor. So, we waited to talk to him and her question was "who do you like better, Superman or Spiderman". LOL! Yes, she really did ask that. No spiritual questions for Miss Maddie, she had other stuff on her mind. Of course when he said he liked Superman better she was a little disappointed, she wanted him to say Spiderman. Oh boy. Don't we all wish that was our biggest worry?

I have 0 energy, trying to put a list together of things I need to MAKE myself get accomplished, hopefully I will be able to accomplish SOMETHING!

I've got some pics to share,just need to get them together and posted.

Hope all is well with everyone!

Love and blessings....

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Happy Weekend!

This usually is my weekend to work but I have been doing management stuff this week while one of the nursing managers is on leave--she fell at work and broke her shoulder...OUCH! She looks awful, she fell flat on her face. She is hoping to be back at least part time next week depending on what her doc says. In the meantime I have had a little taste of what it would be like to be a nursing manager, I know its not full on stress like what they have to deal with everyday but so far I am really enjoying the change. I would say that it could be the initiative I need to get back to school for my RN but they are salary positions and sometimes the hours they put in and the check they bring home just doesn't equal out, lol. Anywho, I'm just enjoying an extra weekend off. :0)

Today Nanna and Poppa Richmond are coming for a visit, yay! Maddie is so excited, I wasn't going to tell her, just let her find out when they show up but Daddy told her yesterday to use as amo and that's all I have heard about since than. :0}

I've done a little bit of scrapping, just haven't had any creativeness in me lately but I think it is related to stress so I try to sit in my scrap space at least for a little bit each day to see if I get inspired.





Enjoy your day!
Love and Blessings

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Still praying for good news soon....I think my hair gets grayer by the day and my stress level is through the roof. I cry at the drop of a hat. What a mess.

I have been working on giving Maddie chores, giving her some responsibility around the house. Some things she gets nickels for and other things she has to do for free. One of the best ideas I have come up with so far is giving her 5 nickels at the beginning of "adult" church, she has to pay us a nickel each time we have to tell her to behave until she gets called for children's church and if she doesn't have any nickels at the end she doesn't get her movie at naptime. The first sunday she lost 3 and that was her first time, last Sunday she only lost 1 and the night before she was able to tell me the process and how it works. Yay Maddie! I'm going to leave her a to-do list tomorrow and see how she does with it. She's been pretty good being at home with Daddy.

Here is a challenge that I did for The Scraproom, they are having a free sketch class this month, if you like sketches check it out!




Love and Blessings!

Happy Friday! For those that have the weekend off I'm sure its even better! Yesterday and today were my "weekend" but I'm hoping for a fairly quiet weekend at work. Weekends are usually nice because we don't have all the hustle and bustle of things that happen during the week.

We are still hoping for good news in the job area, I am hoping that May will be a good month for us!

Here's a guy birthday card I made for bil (I'm sure he has received it by now)



Have a great weekend everyone!
Love and Blessings!

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
