Finally Some Time To Blog

Wow, so much has happened since my last post. My family and I have been very busy! As you may know, we moved about two months ago (has it been two months already?) and have completely unpacked everything. YES!! The move itself wasn't terrible nor was the unpacking; the hardest task has been getting our yard in shape. It will take some time to fight all the weeds that have taken over, especially the STICKER WEEDS!!!!!! The saying that comes to mind is “Pull one, two grow in its place". Oh yeah, and the scripture “take dominion over the land". Those weeds are the most painful things to pull. Ouch!!! Well, enough about weeds, I'll tell you about the decorating! It has been lots of fun decorating this house because we know this is where we will be, Lord willing, forever. We have curtains up in the living room, curtain rods up in some of the bedrooms, and a beautiful new dinning room table that comfortably seats all nine of us! AAAHHH, this house is going to look gorgeous when we're done. And I just want to say “Thank You" to everyone who helped make this move smooth and easy. You have been a blessing to our family!

Yea!!!! I have less than two months to go until I can get my Driver's License, which MUST mean I am almost 16 Years Old!!!!!! :) :) :) Can't wait!!

We have already begun school and I am actually excited because this is going to be an important year for me. I will be taking the SAT's, so I will mentally prepare for that. I also have a couple of new subjects, so needless to say, I shouldn't be bored. HeHe!

I have just begun to play offertory at church, and will hopefully do so once a month. I am hoping that in doing so it will help me get over my nervousness. The next song I plan to play is How Great Thou Art. This arrangement is beautiful, although I still may tweak it a little.

Well, I think that's about it.........untill next time! :)

Oh, I almost forgot! Celeste sprained her foot falling about half way down the stairs. Poor Celeste! :( Please pray for quick healing!

Packing or Playing?

A couple days ago we finally began packing. We decided to do the linen closet first, so Celeste went to the garage to get a large box. Well, when I went to see if Celeste had gotten the box, I realized that the box was staring back at me!

So, of course, once she saw me she popped her head out of the box and smiled at me with those, "What?" eyes! Ahhh, caught playing!

By now I'm laughing at her, so she gets out of the box and takes it upstairs to be filled. That was the only box we filled that day, but, it was one more filled than we had before! I love progress!!
