Response to Water and Cream...

Ok, I normally don't use my blog to "talk" with my friends. One reason being that I have ladies from all steps of life and all over the world that read my blog. Family that sees me every once in a blue moon, missionary friends, worldwide Hannah's Prayer friends, and local friends...all check in on the Blog. So with that said, if you think that I am ever directing a comment to YOU...Think of the song, "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you!" LOL...ok, that was a mean streak...and...

Update to update...

Brian got offered the job he interviewed for today. They want him to start Monday, but will let him give his 2 week at his other job. It is not the greatest pay, in fact, he would make about 5,000 less than he did last year. But, he would not have to drive, which will save us 3,000 a year! lol So not that great of a burden...just not an increase. And it will keep us in Attica for awhile which is fine for the next few months...but we are jumping to move from here!So...what will we do? ...

An Update

For those who are faithful to ask every day or so about the job search...here is some juicy news!Brian has 4... yes... 4 interviews this week! One at a place close to home. 2 in Lafayette. And one for the railroad. If one...just one of the 4 would hire him on at a rate that we could live on. Oh, how that would be so nice. We also have a lead for a job that Brian would just be rolling on the ground happy with. It is an investigator's position for a lawyer. The lawyer asked if he could stay in contact...

Gone With The Wind...

For years, this movie has been one of my favorites. I love the ways of life then. I love the clothes, the big mansions, the lazy afternoon teas, the balls...all of it. I always wondered who I would be in that movie. I wish that I could say that I was a Melanie...I don't quite measure up. I have bits of Scarlett in me, but thankfully, not a lot....

And The Pink Chair is GONE!

G-O-N-E Gone...The dreadful pink chair that everyone fought to sit in. The beloved chair that I sat in the night before I delivered both of my little ones. The chair that I watched my best friend rock my oldest in when she was so so sick. The chair that was home to Grande #1. The chair that I slept in for a week after my surgery because it was too painful to sit anywhere else. The chair that was just so ugly that we could no longer keep it. :( After 6 years in this house, the couch is finally...

And this is love???

Of course today is Valentine's Day. And though there are days that I wanna just blow up Brian's nose and stick a pencil in his ear, I love the man very much. I know...I know...no one (including myself) is used to hearing me talk mushy about my man...but today it feels as though God would want me to do so. I feel convicted that I don't more...

Bail Has Been Posted...

Jack Dog is home. Silly dog! And, they did not even charge us a fee. I guess a Police man jumped the gun (hehehe play on words) and took Jack in. He was within view of our house, stones throw away, and had only been out for a few minutes. No one had called in to report him or anything like that. So, they said that he was ok.We had a good weekend. Spent too much of our precious "extra" money. Brian, Isaac, and I had received some money for our birthday's, and we spent some of it. It made...

And my friend Sara's baby shower is tomorrow, so I have to make some time to get to that! AND ...JACK IS IN JAILPuppy Jail that is...He broke out of the fence and got caught this time. Isaac was very upset, so Brian explained that Jack was a bad boy. He ran away, and the police found him and took him to doggy jail. We will have to go pay bail for him tomorrow. Hoping...

Bored...

Man Alive...I AM BORED! (Maybe I should go put a blanket on Jack huh???) In my isolation...a lot has been accomplished. Floors all swept, bathroom cleaned, Christmas all taken down, office cleaned, Dining room cleaned, Family room cleaned, backroom cleaned, and almost done with the dishes. But, I still have some more to go. I am tired of being in this house though, and have just enough of the blahs that I dont want to wash my hair to go to the only place in town that I have money to spend...

A Boy and His Dog

Boys...They are so much fun at times. Isaac is in isolation right now. No going out...no one coming in. So, he has been rather BORED! He has taken up a friend though. Jack. Our loving 90 lb boxador (boxer lab mix) . Jack is the most loving dog. He lets Isaac do anything to him. He lets Isaac lay on, chase him, kiss him...and Jack does all...

A not so secret about Annie Shaw...I am never happy! :P Ok, so that is not always true...BUT...I found out today that it is.I love the snow...LOVE IT!
