Headed to New Market... Revival Season has begun!

This morning we are headed to New Market where Brother Royce & Sister Gloria will be this week. We are planning to stay through tonight because we don't know if we will make it back any this week. I will have a busy week this week, I work 7-5, I have been putting in applications at different places so I hope I get an interview or 2 this week(after all I will be unemployed after Friday) and Flat Rocks revival Starts Saturday Night!!!! Gotta get ready for that but thankfully my group to cook is Sunday night, so I will have mine over with. But I will probably try to help other groups since I won't be working...unless I get a new job...geesh...I didn't expect my life to be like this at 41 years old...oh well it could be worse...I do have the Holy Ghost and a wonderful family and church even if I am unemployed...Well gotta get ready...c-ya in the funny pages!!!

Life will go on..it has to.

Well Good Morning, It's been a few days since I posted on here. Not a lot to talk about. The week started pretty slow, Raegan was really sick, running almost 102 fever, but with a lot of prayers and a little Tylenol, she is better now. Went to Pisgah's Graduation Tuesday night..Brother Justin Schrader graduated...they had a very nice graduation ceremony. Not much else for the rest of the week, well except I put in my notice at work and next Friday will be my last day. I have many reasons for leaving, most of witch I can't get into on here but to make a long story short...I need a more stable job, one I can grow with and retire from..and I just didn't see that happening. Elizabeth(my boss) took it well as though she knew it was coming. For a while now I have felt like they wanted me to quit anyway, well ever since she had her baby. Anyways as the title says life will go on...it has to. Now if someone out there is reading this that knows where I can get a job PLEASE HELP ME!!!! lol...Seriously though I gotta find another one..like asap.
We had our little princess last night (of course it was Friday). She got sleepy around 7pm and fell asleep really easy...well her ummmm...Wonderful PawPaw comes in and says she don't need to be asleep she won't sleep tonight...and he wakes her up...ugh!! In just a few minutes he decided no, she didn't need to get up...and he tries to put her back to sleep...well that didn't work..not only did it not work then it didn't work at 9:30, 10, 10:30, 11...(after riding her all around rainsville) still not asleep...she would dose off then start crying... well finally at almost 12:30 I was changing her diaper(for the 5th time) she propped her leg up on mine as soon as I got her diaper off and went to sleep....I let her lay there for a little while afraid to move her...finally outta fear she was gonna get my bed wet, I put her diaper on, dressed her, picked her up and put her in the bed...never made a sound, she was out of it...til about 4:30 she woke up, I gave her a bottle an right back to sleep...til now(8:50am)...she just woke up, soooo I guess my blog is over...Grandmother is needed..it's breakfast time!!!

Tabitha's Graduation

Friends!

Mother & Daddy!

The Brothers

The Grads!

Her Presentation, Diploma & Hat Toss!

I'm Outta Here!!!

An Idea...

OK... A while back I had this idea... Ray and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary on January 9th, 2011 and because we had a wonderful vow-renewal ceremony on out 20th, I didn't want a reception or anything for our 25th, sooo I ask to go on a cruise. The thing is I want our whole family to go and of course we can't afford 9 tickets they would have to buy their own and that's a lot to ask of them... But if we can find the right deal they are gonna consider it...
So...We have been looking, trying to scope things out. Right now it's just an idea. Hopefully soon it will become a plan and I will be blogging all the details....Stay tuned....

It's Over!!!

Well it's over..I have managed to get all my children through school...Tabitha's graduation was Saturday...it seems weird, I have been waiting and commenting about how I will shout afterwards, and I can't wait til it's over...but, I set here writing about it and I feel sad...It is over. I mean that part of my life, my children's life...I guess I thought it would feel better then it actually does...I don't know, call me crazy I guess (everyone else does, lol). Oh well before I know it, we will be thinking about college graduation, her getting married and all that other stuff that goes along with raising your children...and yes before we know we will actually be "Empty Nesters"!

The Graduation was really great. The place was packed. Tabitha was given her CNA and Meagan(Valedictorian) was given her scholarship, her speech made me cry. Then Tabitha had prepared a video for her class-mates, and that made me cry even harder... Davin was recognized by her piano teacher and got an award, then she played the piano. Jessica wrote a poem it was funny but again it made me cry. Last but not least Jordan wrote a song and sang it while playing the piano...it was sweet, funny and sad all at the same time. I've only got a few pix to post at this time but in a day or two I will post some of the actual ceremony.

Well lets see...dont have much time to post today...got lots to think about...Graduation in 2 day (praise the Lord it will soon be over, I might just shout)!!! And speaking of 2...Raegan has 2 teeth now...wow...I'm starting to feel old... But don't be mistaken...I'm feeling it but that dont mean that I am old...just saying! Oh and before I forget...ummm..ummm well...I've done forgot...see I'm not old...lol

We have been having wonderful meetings at church... 2 received the Holy Ghost on Sunday and 2 more on Tuesday... gearing up for revival!!!
I think I will go on vacation before revival starts..sounds good...well guess I'll blog atcha later!!!

Yeepie!

She did it, she finally did it!!! Raegan cut her first tooth!!!! Oh yes! Bring on the beans and taters!! Warning KEEP ALL FINGERS AWAY FROM MOUTH!!! I love it! She is such a blessing...and now I think I know why she hasn't been sleeping well at night!!! You go Girl! I'm doing good guys 2 posts in one day...wow..I'm good.
