Well, as always, it's hard to believe another year has come and gone. And we are almost an entire month into 2013. Let's see, what could I say about the last few months??? I love God, I love my family, I love my friends and I love my church. I am so incredibly thankful for all God has done in our lives. He answered one huge prayer by allowing my husband to 'get out of dodge' so to speak. Were we thinking this is where our lives were headed??? Certainly not. Did we envision our lives being this chaotic??? No way. But you pick up and move on. You do the best you can. We are living God's plan by going through each day and that's the best we can do. We live our lives with intregity doing what we can for each of the students we come in contact with. What's disheartening is not everyone we work with has this attitude. Far to often, I am coming into contact with people who do not have students' best interests at heart. It's sad.
Enough of that. I can only be so philosophical. I am enjoying Pinterest and getting all sorts of ideas on creating. Looking forward to what the spring holds. Praying our house sells quickly but also enjoying the purge of getting things together for a garage sale and just general cleaning. My New Year's purge is slightly behind this year. I guess it was the job change at Christmas that threw me off the cleaning schedule.
Bodee has grown by leaps and bounds. And I must say, if she keeps destroying things, she and I will not be friends for much longer. She literally ate a wall (if you don't believe me, see my facebook page for the picture.) It looks like we had an infestation of beavers. She has eaten a cord on a heater, thankfully not while plugged into the wall. She has chewed a few shoes, some socks and other such things. Hopefully this is only the puppy in her.
I am now 34 years old. My only prayer is that 34 is better than 33. Nor-Nor will be 7 in a couple of weeks. What???!!! I know, time marches on, but really...........No birthday parties this year. I am over birthday parties. So, the plan is family dinner birthday party at the place of their choosing. It should be no surprise to anyone that Nor has chosen Olive Garden. She is a girl after her father's heart.
