Suggestions?

I haven't posted in a log time, and now that I'm sitting at my computer ready to post something, my brain has gone blank! Any suggestions?

Random Silliness!

Ed - I'm on my last leg home.

Andrea - what did you do with the other leg?

Ed - I stepped on it!

Ed - guess what the road said to being stepped on?

Andrea - don't be silly! you can't be sure what it said. It's voice would be to gravelly.

Being refined by fire!

It takes a tremendous amount of pressure on coal to make a beautiful diamond. God never said life was going to be easy, but he did say he would NEVER leave us!!!

By,
My Dad,

What's next?

If you want to make, God laugh just tell him your plans! Just when you think you know how it's all going to play out... SURPRISE! God reveals an unexpected twist to your life story. I'm excited to see what, God is going to do next in my life.

Is life out there?

Is anyone still reading blogs anymore or is everyone on facebook now?

I took the header picture! :)

I took this header picture today. What do you think? I convinced my Dad and Brother to go on a walk in the snow. It was a great adventure! You can see the other pictures from our walk and making the snowman on my facebook.

Let it snow! Then clear by Monday.

I got up at my usual time today and started getting ready to make my pilgrimage to work. I was in the middle of brushing my teeth when my Mom handed me the phone. Not the best time to be handed the phone..... It was my boss. She was not sure if she wanted me to go into work and told me to wait till 9:00am and call her back to see if she wanted me to make the drive.
I hadn't looked outside yet and was now very curious. I should not have looked! Now, usually I love the snow! Perhaps if I had not been looking at the snow with the eyes of someone thinking that they might actually have drive in it the snow might have seemed a lot less menacing. Today the white fluff felt like it was threatening me.
My boss called me back at about 8:45am. The kids school had been canceled for the day and she had decided not to go into work. What a relief!
Monday if the show is cleared I will have a mini Christmas with the kids I nanny for and take a little time to open our gifts to each other. I'm looking forward to it. :)
So, today I am safe and warm in my cozy home. Plus I don't have to go back to work till Monday. :)

I will probably not write on my blog before Christmas so I will say it now.

MARRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
And God bless.

Look out! It's a SUICIDE TREE!!!

Something exciting always seems to happen when Dear Emmy calls.
This time I was sitting on my bed talking on the phone with her when I heard a loud crash coming from the living room. It sounded like glass shattering. While running to the livingroom I told Emmy something happened and I would have to call her back.

I was surprised to see our fiber optic tree was no longer on the mantle above the fireplace.
It seems that my family was just sitting in the living room watching a Christmas movie when the tree fell off the mantle taking with it several family pictures! What makes this even more interesting is that the tree was several inches from the edge of the mantel.
Tiny fragments of glass were everywhere. We are not sure exactly what happened. It's as if the tree just decide to jump!

It's only 20 days till Christmas!
I'm so excited!
I have all my Christmas shopping done.
Are you ready for Christmas?

I would like to know....

Dose anyone read blogs anymore? I know that like to look at other people's blogs to see what's going on with them, but as I can't tell if that many people are reading my blog I'm not sure it would be worth taking the time ( or at least trying to) to post more. my question to you is "Do you read blogs and how often? "

Hello Everyone!

My family and I are doing great. We are settled into our new house. I'm enjoying my job and it looks like we might have found a Church! It's about time......

Life is what you make it. What are you going to make out of yours?

Life is crazy and so am I!

Here are the latest workings in my not so boring life:

I have a new nanny job! I'm working with two children ages 4 and 5. They are very sweet kids and I love working with them.
I am going to shock you all! Are you ready for this? To get to my job from where live I have to get up at 5:30 AM! I don't get home till about 6:30 PM. I do that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. YES! I am getting up at 5:30! I knew about 5:30 PM, but did you know that there was such a thing as a 5:3 am?
The good news is that I then get the next three days off to recover. ;) One of the other benefits with this job is that I get paid for forty hours of work no matter what. unless I work over forty hours then I get paid time and a half! The family I work for just went on vacation last week so I got paid for not working. SO COOL! Also, on Mondays and Wednesdays for two and a half hours both the kids are in School and I get that time to do what ever I want, but I am still getting paid for that time. I like to spend that time calling friends and reading my Bible.
God has really blessed me with this job. :D

We are moving again! The plus side to that is that the house is closer to my brothers collage and to my work. I wont have to get up so early! ha ha! I am getting really sick of packing though.... so is my family. It will be a long commute for my dad but he doesn't seem to mind. He's a great dad!
