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!

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!

News update from the funny farm.
My family and I have been in our new house for almost four months now!
We are starting to find our way around more easily. One of the first things I found was Starbucks! :)
Dad loves his new job! he says it is one of the best jobs he has ever had.
Mom is still and ever will be the heart of our home. She keeps everyone and everything going. I don't know how we could do it with out her..... That's a sad though. :(
Edward is taking Drivers Ed and he likes it. Edward's teacher says he is doing great and will one day soon be a wonderful driver.
I started off doing a nanny job here with three children, but that job is finished and I am back at the ever so tedious task of finding a new job. YUCK!
I made a friend here! That might not sound like a big deal to a lot of you, but as I have been here for four months and don't know anyone here it is a big deal to me.
We are still deciding on a Church, but getting closer to finding one. We have found that a lot of Churches here are a lot more..... relaxed with their services than we are comfortable with. ok, so we're stuffy! oh well.....

Learning patience is not easy!
As many of you know I have always wanted to be married and have a family of my own. I can still remember holding my brother the day he was born for the first time and telling my family "he's mine! I want to have this!" That desire is even stronger today.
When talking to a good friend today about being young woman with that same desire and waiting for "Mr. Right" to come along. I felt relief knowing I'm not the only one! (Not that I'm glad she's single though.) =)
I suddenly wanted to write to all the other single women out there waiting for the one God has for them to let them know they are not alone. There are other women out there is your same situation. Watching many of our friends, a good portion of them younger than us getting married. Listening to our friends talk forever about how perfect he is and all the wonderful things he does for her, but while being extremely happy for her a list of questions keep going through your mind.
"Why not me?"
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Am I not enough of a Proverbs 31 woman?"
"Am I not feminine enough?"
"Am I not smart enough?"
"Am I not pretty enough?"
I jokingly told my friend that Sleeping Beauty's prince charming came to her when she was only sixteen! I have three options, to believe that my prince charming is running years late, that fairy tales don't exist or I should go take a long nap.
I know it's not easy and it gets disheartening, I struggle with it every day, but I will tell you the same thing my Mother repeatedly tells me. There is nothing wrong with you! It's just that God is still preparing you and the young man for each other.
So take heart, keeping hoping and the day will come when you get to call your all friends and talk endlessly about the great guy you have. ;)

L.O.V.E.
This song has fond memories for me.
My family has always loved to listen to Nat King Cole.
When I was little my Dad would turn on this song, pick me up, and dance with me. I still love this song, I still love to dance, and I still love my Dad!
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
(trumpet instrumental)
