Hey Im going to be moving everything over to LiveJournal. I will keep this one open for a bit but I will not post anymore blogs. Here is the new site……
Moving on…
Well I do have to say that I am some what relieved that the holidays are over. The One Voice concerts went very well. Kyndal did a great job I was so proud of her. Ally did good as well :). It was nice to relax and not do anything on Christmas Eve but go to church that night. Jake did have to work half a day but I guess that was ok. What was I to do?? I do have to admit that Christmas Day was a very stressful and not very enjoyable most of the time for me. I was ready for the day to be over. I’ll spare you the details. But it over and we move on. Now I get the joy of rearranging the house again to fit all the stuff Kyndal got that we don’t have room for. I guess I’ll just cram it into another corner. 🙂 Okay well Im just starting to vent now and who knows where it will go so I better stop……..
Footsteps. . . . .
Well yesterday we sang at the service for Dave C. It was a wonderful service. I do believe Dave would of been very pleased to hear what people said about him. It sure was a celebration of his life!!! I always wonder what people would say at my funeral. I know that sounds weird but you can’t say you have never thought of it.?? You know as long as they have something to say. I guess I’m good, lol :). Honestly listening to the way Dave lived his life really makes me wanna make sure I’m living mine in the same way. So I can touch lives and share Jesus with others. I mean that’s why we are here. To share the Gospel. So I think we all need to follow in Dave’s footsteps!!!
Long Day.
Today was a long COLD, colder with the wind,day. After running around in Concord; getting jeans for Jake, returning stuff, and getting Mics for One Voice. I’m TIRED!!! Plus once I got home at about 4:30 we had to get ready to go to One Voice practice at 6:00. So that was feed Ally pack the bag to go back out. Hurry and cook dinner, scarf it down and after all that hurrying be late. But I do have to say that that blocking went very well. I was ready for another late night but we were home before 9 well except for Jake :). I did manage to get some Christmas cards in the mail too. I have more to do and send tomorrow. Ohhh I forgot church was canceled Sunday cause of the mass of snow and wicked wind. So Jake and I braved it ad FINALLY did our Christmas shopping. I honestly don’t remember half of the things we bought but its done. I’ll check them all out when I got to wrap them. Well tomorrow is another long day with the funeral. One Voice is singing at it so that will be really nice. And then of coarse One Voice again tomorrow. I’ll let you know if we survive the week.
A Better Place!!!
Well this week has been kinda rough. One Wednesday we heard that a good friend of the family passed away, Bruce Brown. I didn’t know him that well but I did know his daughter and her family. Then early Friday morning we got word that Dave Constance had passed. A wonderful man that was involved in One Voice with us. Its just so hard to imagine a lose this time of year, or anytime. The best part it that we know that these two men will be celebrating Jesus’ birth a whole new way this year. A way that we will never know until we get to heaven. They are definitely in a better place. I wonder what it must be like to be with Jesus on this Birthday????
Will it ever slow down???
Well Im not really sure what I did yesterday. It all kind of went really fast. I do know that I only saw Jake for about 15 min. maybe. After coming home he had to go to worship team practice and then back to work. Him and Josh had to drive a truck back to Lebanon. He didn’t get home and to bed till 4am. So needless to say he is still sleeping. So much for everything we were suppose to do today. His job is really frustrating me. We haven’t gone Christmas shopping yet, hes just so busy we don’t have time. And all next week we have One Voice everynight. So who knows when its going to get done, if it does. Maybe we will just skip Christmas this year. I can’t wait till next year so things can slow down a bit. Tonight we have One Voice again, and a production meeting after so we are going to be out late. I guess the good thing is that we will be together.
What you can do away from the computer…….
Well for my self. I haven’t done much of anything since, well it started when we got this laptop and then got worse when my parents came to help before Ally was born. So this morning I decided that I would only get on the computer when the girls where napping. Which I did just to check my email. In the mean time away from the computer I’m very proud to say that I accomplished……. Putting the mounds of clothes away in ALL 3 rooms; cleaned ALL 3 rooms; cleaned down stairs by putting the piles of stuff away that just didn’t get where it belongs; mopped the floor and vacuumed, which actually made Ally stop crying and then of course start again after I was done. So now I feel like I have a fresh start on things and feel some what better. I haven’t cleaned like this since before my mom came and did the cleaning for me. I got Lazy!!! But I can do it, even with 2 kids. A clean house is soooooooo RELAXING!!!!!!
Dirty Laundry!!!
I will never understand why someone would build a house or apartment without a washer and dryer hook up. Ever had 4 people living in a house and not able to do laundry when they want. Let me tell you it piles up. Its an all day job. Thankfully, the in-laws let us come over and do it here. So I don’t have to spend the money or the time sitting in some laundry mat with the kids. We even had a set when we moved up here but had to give it away. Why did I ever think it would not be a big deal to not have one. Who knows?? The one request I have for next place we live, which better be soon, is a washer and dryer in my own home. Ever had spit up and poopy clothes sit of a week????
Learning to Let It Go!!!
Well, when the first baby comes your up tight for a few day and then you learn to relax and let things so. But for me now that number 2 is here I do let things go but I feel like I worry more about her. Maybe its cause we are in a totally new place than when we had Kyndal so its not the same. Who knows? I actualy called the Dr. today to question a runny nose ( but its not actually running, :P) We have all had a runny nose for weeks now and of course have done nothing for it. So I just need to relax and don’t sweat the small stuff.
