Not sure what happened this weekend, but I think Mother Nature went on spring break. Well for those of you that don't know, as of July (or possibly earlier) I will no longer be employed. It's going to be a LONG summer at my house. 2 people unemployed and a schooler home on break. Start praying for me now cause I will probably need it.
I've been putting in applications and resumes everywhere. Those of you that know me well, know that I love Walker Zanger and it breaks my heart for it to end this way. But it's a sign of the times and it's just business.
So keep your eyes peeled if you see anything that might fit me well. This has been a really tough time for me. I am a person who thrives on stability. Some people can jump from job to job and place to place and be okay. I'm not one of those people.
So keep my family in your prayers as we learn how to cope with the big changes happening for us. Hopefully, if I don't find something right away, this will give me a chance to get some projects finished around the house and just spend time with my 2 favorite guys. We plan on doing some camping and just enjoying each other.
This has always been my favorite scripture, but it seems even more fitting nowadays.
Jeremiah 29:11-For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
So I hope everyone has a blessed week and stays safe and I pray that the job hunt will turn around with a positive outcome. I also pray for my friend Jessica and her fiance Chris and their daughter Abby and that their next child who needs to stay put can stay put for atleast another month until it's his time.
I pray that Kelly has a smooth and safe labor and that my little nephew Sam is happy and healthy. I pray that you keep all of the people I love safe and keep them out of harms way. Let them see you through me.

New Beginnings
Welp, today could be the first day of the rest of my life. That's the way I have to look at it.
I'm still trying to be discreet about things that are happening in certain aspects of my life now. But those of you that are my closest, dearest friends already know. Thank you all for being my support system and loving me through this and praying me through this. Keep praying because I will need an official new beginning very soon. And thank you to my mother-in-law for reminding me of this scripture:
Hebrew 12:11
"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
So I will take the discipline now and will reap the fruits of righteousness when we come out of this on the other end, smiling.
James, Justin and I are still anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Sam. It feels so weird to say I will be an aunt. But I guess I'm at that age now. :( I guess Katie felt kind of weird being an aunt at 16, so I can do it at 30. We are also VERY excited about our May trip to Knoxville for the big graduation!!!!!! VERY EXCITED!!!!
The past few weeks, I've been watching some old home movies of my husbands family and have learned a few things.
1. Katie is most sleepy when she's eating. So if she doses off, just move her soup. Oh and she was NEVER meant to be a dancer, cause she's just not that interested in it. She would much rather make music for people to dance to. I love that about her.
2. My husband can walk on stilts. Who else can say their husband can do that???? Yeah that's what I thought. HAHA.
3. Oh and Joey is always wanting more. From a very young age til now, he always wants more. This is definitely a good quality. Always strive for better. Never settle.
I guess I'm at a point in my life and in my relationship with God where I just don't worry anymore. He carries all my stress and worry for me. I will come out on the other end of this in a better place. My whole family will. We will be better people and better Christians because of the things that happen for us and to us.
I hope that everyone in our life knows how precious they are too us. Whether you are a relative or our selected extended family of friends, we love each and every one of you dearly.
Have a blessed day and an amazing weekend everyone!!!!

He took it alright!
Happy March 1st everyone!!! I believe Phil may have been right. We may just be done with winter for the year. But in August, when it's 100 degrees and hasn't rained in 3 months, we'll be asking for cooler temperatures. It's a vicious cycle really.
I realized this morning as I pulled away from the school that we have almost made it through kindergarten and both Justin and I are still alive. Which is no small miracle. That child can certainly test my patience. But when he's good, he's so very good. And it makes all of the craziness go away.
This is an exciting time of year for us when we plan our annual vacation and anything else we can squeeze into the summer.
I really hope this year brings lots of trips to Wilson Creek for camping. You never know .
Even though my mind is going a thousand miles a minutes, I'm just sitting here relishing in all of the blessings. So here I go again. I give it all to you Lord. Take it. Make it what it's supposed to be in your will. And please give me the knowledge to know the difference.
Phil 4:7 " And the peace of God that transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
I pray today that you take all of the burden and all of the anxiety and make it what is should be. I pray that you keep my family and my friends safe and healthy and that you continue to bless us as you see fit. Thank you Lord for everything.....even and especially the hard times.
