A Change in My Midst

Uh oh, it's change time again. Siggghhhhhh, what's a girl to do? On Monday I am moving to night shift at work and I'm worried; as usual. I met some of the girls today that I'll be working with and they all seem very nice. Problem is, I've gotten to know the day shift and I like it there. I'm getting used to life at work during the day and I like it. I don't wanna change!!! whine, whine, whine......

Christmas was very nice here. We had a very quiet Christmas and we needed that. Things are still a bit chaotic around here, and today I find myself missing the stay at home life. My friend Jodi just posted and I love her pictures. I remember feeling so relaxed enjoying my babies all day, cleaning, paying bills, and being silly all day. Yes, it had troubles and pressures of it's own, but it was just different somehow. My babies are home from school for the week and how I wish I was with them!!! Sigggghhhhhh.

Yesterday was quite an adventure. Hubby and I have been teaching 7th grade Sunday School this year. Yesterday we took them (along with several very much appreciated chaperones) to the mall for a scavenger hunt. We had such a good time making up crazy tasks and watching them race around the mall trying to beat the other teams. I love working with the youth. They are so much fun. BB and DQ had quite a grand time as well! What a fun day it turned out to be.

So I would love to be posting pictures of all these life events I'm sharing, but Mr. Camera won't download. Grrrrrr. Just use your imagination..... Picture the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, the most handsome little boy in the world happily holding an Ipod, and the most gorgeous little girl you've ever laid eyes on snuggling with monkey stuff and there you have it!!!! Enjoy the picture!

Ta ta for now!

Happy Anniversary!

Wow, 11 years. I can't believe so much time has passed! Hubby, do you remember our wedding? What a disaster! Everyone was sick, everyone was cranky, our honeymoon.... well that was a disaster too! Let's not forget Christmas day in the hospital getting my appendix out! Ugh, what a start!

However, we have had a long road haven't we baby? I wouldn't trade a minute of it, even the bad times. Those bad times were teaching times. We have learned from them some very valuable lessons. Oh the stories we have to tell.

I look back and can't believe the progress we've made! As mom always says, we don't have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of. Well, now as you said we have the pot to pee in, and almost have the window to throw it out of! We've always been the center of some kind of impending disaster, now we are pretty boring if you ask me!

So now I want to thank you. Thank you for saving my life. You found me at my lowest and together we found the Lord. You gave me the two most gorgeous and gifted children ever. You have given me the best friend I've always wanted. You have been a rock for me through all the ups and downs. Thank you!

Hubby, you are the best man for me. God has blessed me more than I can ever describe. I love you so much my very best friend. I will always love you!

Spikerbaby

Spike the dog has a death wish! As written previously she has had numerous problems with her back. Unfortunately that's not all the problems she's had. She has eaten a whole roll of toilet paper and had to have it surgically removed. She has eaten easter candy and gotten chocolate toxic. Now she has dined on the finest chocolate cake Stoney River has to offer. She bought her self a ticket to the vet to vomit all night. That stupid dog is lucky she's loved so much or she'd be dead from Charmin overdose!!!!!!!!

By the way, (totally unrelated) what is up with the 75 degrees today???? Ugh, I hate that, it's CHRISTMAS!!! Bring me snow, bring me cold, bring me hot chocolate! Instead I have shorts and ice water! Guess I shouldn't complain as my sisters are freezing their tales off in SD. Love ya big sisters! Stay warm and make a snowball for me as we are melting down here!!!!

Good night to all and to all a good night.

1 Year

So I have been blogging for 1 year now..... Wow, where does the time go? I remember starting this blog that year so long ago! Unfortunately I am again having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year.

I spent today in the hospital.... as a patient. Yuck, no fun at all. I have a raging kidney infection, and let me be the first to say OUCH!!!!!!! Fortunately I have a fabulous husband and fabulous children who are going to let me rest and pamper me all weekend. Thanks be to God for my family :)

Not Much

I know it's been awhile seen I've posted, there just isn't much to say at the moment. Life is pretty calm here at Hworld. In fact, we are just simply existing right now. Sometimes that's nice, to just live life.

As I sit and think about the last few years I begin to get very tired. It has been a whirlwind of a ride for us. Between some health problems I had, financial struggles, and me trying to finish college we have been down a very long road. We have lost 2 grandparents, and a father (hubby's). We have gone from very little to being very blessed. We have overcome incredible odds thanks to the Lord. We are very pleased with our life right now. Hubby and I were just discussing this on Saturday as we were driving to the UGA game this past Saturday. We discussed what life would be like right now if we'd followed our plans instead of God's plans. Would we even be married? Would I have stayed in SD and married my high school sweetheart? Would hubby have stayed were he grew up and continue down his path of struggle? Who knows. All we both know is we are were we where meant to be and couldn't be happier about it.

BB and DQ are plugging along in school. They are looking forward to this Christmas season and all it brings. I remember the magic Christmas brought me as a child. I used to love sitting in the living room with all the lights off except the tree lights. I would lay on the floor sucking on a candy cane from the tree and just stare up at the lights and drift off warm and cozy. Aaaaahhhhh, those were the days. I remember one of my most favorite gifts from Santa.... a miniature piano. I loved that thing!!! What are your favorite Christmas memories?
