My Softball Girl..

Just thought I'd share a picture of Haley in her Softball Uniform...She's doing really good. The other one is Donald in his uniform..Schwan's Uniform...haha...

It's Thursday....

Let's see, what's been going on this week...hmmmmm. Well on Monday, Memorial Day, we had a family cook out..that was pretty fun and the food was good. Tuesday I let the girls swim in the pool that we got put up on Memorial day. Wednesday I took Taylor to the doctor..she has a sinus infection...Not today....no real plans, I am cleaning my mom and dads house a little later...other than that..I don't know. I guess the reason I haven't really blogged..nothing new to blog about. I do want everyone to remember us in prayer...We are asking the Lord for direction in our lives about something. I just want to be found in his will. Here is a cute picture of Taylor...She was at Haley's Basketball game waiting patiently for it to start...She's my Tator Bug...lol...

What a great Movie!?!?!?!

We watched Facing the Giants last night for the first time...I know I'm a little slow!! It was a wonderful movie!! I laughed, I cried!! It really does reinforce that God can do the impossible!! We need to just prepare for it! If you haven't watched this movie I suggest you do..It is just a really good movie. I rented it but I want to go and buy it. When my faith is low this would be a great pick me up movie to watch. Anyways I just wanted to put an ad in for this movie...haha..

Thats about it for me..I went to Haley's Softball games yesterday and got sunburned. But other than that it was a pretty boring weekend so far. Church today and Holiday tomorrow.

bye for now.

Church Bulletin Board

Okay..I finally did another church bulletin board for the Sunday School Room. So here it is...


Thought I'd share it with my blogger buddies...I know it isn't that good, but I really enjoy creating them...with a little help from other websites to kinda get my imagination started..haha...

Hope all is doing good..write more later.

Hello, Hello, Hello!!!

So how is everyone??? I'm doing good. I just got my tax refund back..and it was better than we thought it was going to be..Praise the Lord!! We're so excited!! Yay!! So now we are trying to decide how best to use it...Anyways I thank the Lord for his goodness!! He always provides!!

I had a good weekend..We had a Yard Sale on Saturday and I made about $150.00 at it...Not to bad...but last year I made a lot more. But I was happy with what I made. Plus I got rid of some junk too. LOL!!! I have enough to have more Yard Sales too, so I think we are going to try again maybe at the first of the month.

Sunday we went to the park and played putt putt and let Haley bat some in the batting cages. It was a nice family day after church.

Well thats about it for now...talk to ya'll later.

Wow..I'm on a roll now!!!!

Twice in one week...that has to be a new record set for me!! I haven't done that in a long time!! So how is everyone?? I'm good here...I cleaned my mom and dad's house this morning and then decided to start getting my Yard Sale things together today..We are planning on a Yard Sale this Saturday..so pray the weather is good and we draw a big crowd that has lots of money...LOL!! No seriously, I hope we do do good, plus I really would like to get rid of some of this stuff..It's just extra baggage we carry around with us when we move. Make room for new baggage..LOL!! A lot of it is baby things...theres a few things that I can't seem to part with just yet, but I'm getting rid of several things. I kept ALL of Haley's things and was able to use most of it with Taylor but those things plus the new things I got for Taylor I've decided to sale..with the exception of about 4 things...expensive things. I'm pretty much sure I don't want anymore kids, but you just never know. So I'm keeping them for now...at least until the next yard sale. I really think I'm finished having kids though...In someways that makes me sad...because it was fun being pregnant...people made over you and you got a lot of attention, but I don't think I want to start over with a baby again...Taylor is on her way to being potty trained (I hope) So I think I'm through. Well enough about that...What do I want for supper tonight???? That is my everyday question. I think tonight I'm going with something VERY simple..since Donald will be out until late...How's Sloppy Joe sound?? Sounds good to me..lol...well I better get off here..I need to come my hair and then go get my Haley Baby from School...Only a week to go..yeah!! Talk to you later...

I need to lose weight!!!

Donald flipping back in our chair

A week later, Bro. Brian Odell, flipping back in our chair...haha...we laughed and laughed at them.

(I don't know what's wrong with our chair, but if you tip back just a little to much it throws you in the floor.)


Just a little humor there. I was looking at some of my pictures last night and I noticed that I have gained some weight...I mean I already knew because my clothes were fitting as good this summer but looking at pictures really tell the truth. I'm a little down about..I've never had to really pay attention to my weight and I've always been able to just eat anything I want to..but things have begun to change. I just turned 30 this past October.....I'm getting middle aged...how depressing. So anyways I dont really have much self control in the food area...What am I going to do?!?!?! I mean I used to go to a gym and LOVED it..but I lived close by the place and it was really easy to get to it...Now I live out in the country and have a hard time getting the time to go to a gym..I need to start walking here on the farm...that might help some. Just the thought of cutting back on chocolate makes me cringe...I love chocolate and my Ale-8 to drink...to of my biggest temptations...well and I pretty much like food in general. Maybe if I start cutting back little by little...I don't know...I need to do something soon because if I don't I'll be buying a whole new wardrobe..my husband might not like that idea..

Oh well enough rambling...Hope all is well..hope you like the pictures..Wish you all could have been there...

Bye,
Marsha

It's me again.

Hello Everyone!! Well I making my monthly post...haha...just kidding...I am really going to try to start blogging more...Myspace and just taken over my time...shame on myspace. No really, I've went down to just being oncall at my work now..so they will only call me when they need me, allowing me to be with my kids more. Since Donald took this new job at Scwhan's he is barely home anymore..I mean He is home on Sundays and every other weekend he gets a three day weekend..but we just arn't used to that. After he's there for awhile he will begin to have more time off, but until then I'm home with them. I'm very happy that it has worked out that I can be at home more with them... The money is tight, but I feel like it's worth it to be with them right now. If we start needing more money, then I will probably look for work..but the Lord sure does provide for us...I love him so much!! And I also love my Husband who is working so hard to provide for us..He's wonderful...He wants me at home too..I think that is why he works so hard!! I thought this was a good picture of my hubby..it was taken awhile back...He's too cute!! Anyways enough about him...for now...I thought I'd put a picture of him up this time..I usually put one up of the kids or something...lol...Please remember us in your prayers..we are seeking the Lord for his guidance in a area in our lives..we want to be found in his will...well thats about all for now...hope I still have someone out there that reads...oh well..if I don't it still feel good to just get my thoughts out of that little brain of mine..haha...bye.

Tax time

Yes thats right it is tax time..I know most people have probably already filed their taxes but we are chronic procrastinators. So now were feeling the crunch. I've been getting everything together so that my wonderful Husband can do it...I am hoping he will get them done tomorrow. But time will tell...

I didn't work yesterday or today..I took off for Haley's Spring Break..we went to the planetarium yesterday and to White Hall State Shrine today..that was very interesting. I think the girls enjoyed it..It was really cold here today though..It actually snowed!! We've been having 80 degree weather and then all of a sudden snow....what a shock to the system, ya know?!?!

Well thats about it for now...write more later..bye

March is almost over!!!

Hello everyone!! Okay hello Amy, if your even still there..lol!! I can't believe I haven't blogged at all this month...well I have to get atleast one blog in..so here it is...not a lot to tell though..it's just been a busy month. Donald started this new job at Schwan's. It seems to be a pretty good job but he puts in soooooo many hours that I've not seen him a lot this month...plus him not being around keeps me very busy with our two girls. So it doesn't leave me alot of down time... Thats why I've been so busy..but I thought I'd write atleast one blog this month.. But really theres not a lot to talk about so I guess I'll go...I'll try to do better...TRY!!

Hello

Hey everyone!! It's Sunday and it has snowed 4 or 5 inches so we haven't had church today...I think I'm starting to get down because it seems like we haven't had a lot of church at all this month..we've had to cancel due to bad weather a lot this month... You don't realize how big of an effect Church has on you until you can't go..I don't know how people go for several weeks without it...I mean the messages are great and I need that but I also miss the fellowship.. Hopefully it will start getting better outside so we can start having church again. Well thats all I have for now..if anyone is reading this please say a prayer for us...thanks...Love ya'll...talk to you later.

It's been a long time!!

Hey everyone!! Good here..I'm so sorry it's been so long since I posted..I'm having a hard time keeping up with everything...and sometimes I just plain old don't feel like messing with it..haha. I hope not everyone has completely stopped stopping by..but I can't blame you if you have...I'm going to try and blog more frequently..we'll see if I live up to it..lol. So not a lot going on here really. Next Saturday we're having Haley's Birthday party because her birthday is on Sunday the 11th... She will be 7...growing up way to fast on me. Anyways..I guess thats it for now..here's a few pictures from the holidays...

Locks of Love

Hello Everyone!! How is everyone??? We're all pretty good here. Let me tell you what me and my little girl, Haley did today. We went and had ALL of our hair chopped off for Locks of Love. We decided a little over a year ago to grow it out and donate it to Locks of Love. I thought this would be something neat that me and her could do together, plus it was neat to know that we would be helping out someone in need. I mean my hair aint all that great but anyone would love to have Haley's hair..it's gorgeous! So today we had had about all we could stand of the long hair so off to Great Clips we went...just a little plug for them..they were great and they cut and style your hair for free and send it off for you. So we still are a little in shock about how short our hair is but I think we are both satisfied with it..here is a few pictures of our day. Well thats it for now..talk to you all later.

It has been a tiresome day today...not much really happened but I had a three day weekend so it was a little harder to get in the swing of things today... Life seems to be slowing down some thankfully!! I"m glad about that. We just had a little weekend revival with the Risch's...It was great and Bro. Risch..preached so good!! I love those people..their wonderful!! Here's a picture of them at our church. Okay..I uploaded that picture last and it is on the top..oh well, I tried to get it in order...over look me please..haha...talk to everyone later.

I'm back!!!

Hello everyone!! I'm back..(if I've even got anymore viewers) Sorry it's been so long...This has been a very busy past couple, three weeks...I hope now things will begin to slow down some..I HOPE!!! How was everyones Christmas??? Mine was great!! I got everything I wanted and then some..and my girls really enjoyed what they got too. Well I really don't have a lot of time tonight but I hope to start posting more regular again...hope I can redeem my viewers...talk to you later.

Tired

This has been a very hard week. I don't feel like I have had anytime to get anything accomplished. I hate feeling like that. Don't get me wrong..I still like my job and I feel it is a blessing, but I still haven't adjusted to working outside of the home for 40 hours a week. I know it will take some time. But it really is a blessing to us right now.

The girls are doing great!! They are at their Grammy's right now, Donald's mom. They were really excited to spend some time with her.

I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner...It's December!! I haven't even started Christmas Shopping..I hate crowds!! I guess I've got to grin and bear it though. Well I think thats all for now.

We are going over to church later because there is a Christmas Parade tonight and our church is going to pass out free coffee and hot chocolate to anyone who wants it. I think that is a very good outreach and it is letting people know who we are and were we are located! Anyways..talk more later.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Hello Everyone!! I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.. We went to my grandma and grandpas for Thanksgiving...it was a lot of fun..and I got to seem most of my family!! But now I'm stuffed and tired. I got to see our newest addition to the family also..her name is Anna...she is my cousin, Heath's, daughter..I think they said she was about 4 months. She's a little doll and sooo happy.

I like my new job so far...I think I'm really going to like it..and the people I work with all seem nice too. Thanks for the prayers everyone.

Well I really don't have a whole lot to talk about..so I guess I'll go...I think I'll put a couple pictures on here...The first picture is Taylor with it looks like maybe a little snot on her face, the second is my mamaw and all of her grand and great grandDAUGHTERS, except 3 I think. And the third one is my mom and Anna..she is holding Heath and Kristy's baby.

What a Week!!!

Boy has this week been stressful!!! Well I quit that job I got...I did not like it..I thought Home Health would be fine but I found out quickly that going into homes and driving all over creation was not for me!!! So anyways...the same day I decided to go and quit that job I went to a interview for a job here in Richmond, where I live. The lady told me that she would call me back one way or the other and let me know, but it would probably take a few days for her to get back with me. Well I drove over to my other job and told them I wanted to quit anyways..and told them I had been to another interview but wasn't sure if I got the job but couldn't handle this one anyways. They didn't want me to quit and put me on a 1 month hold...Anyways to make a long story short...I hadn't been out of the office for very long when my cell phone rung. It was the Lady I had interviewed with telling me I had the job. Praise the Lord!!! I start this Monday and it is a 8 hours a day Mon-Fri job!! Off weekends and Holidays!! I couldn't have asked for a better shift than that..especially in this field of work because anyone that has done CNA work knows that it is around the clock kinda of thing. This is a Medical Adult Day Care. I'm excited about starting, and nervous..but atleast this is a place I will go to everyday and have a routine. I also had my CNA Test last night. I'm a little nervous on how I did..I think I may have left some steps out of one my skills..but not sure, can't remember. I want find out my results for probably close to a month...so please remember me in your prayers. So as you can see I've had a pretty nervous, stressful week..glad it's over... But I just want to thank the Lord for just being with me and helping and answering some prayers!! God is soooooo GOOD!!! Well thats about it for now..I may try to post some pictures of the girls...

OOPS

Sorry I didn't get a picture posted of my girls...my computer crashed and I mean crashed the other day so we just got it back late last night...we had to have a new hard disk installed..I believe that was the terms..I'm not very good with the computer things...but anyway it wouldn't respond to anything..I couldn't even get it on windows..Anyone out there that knows anything about computers ...what would cause that? And how can I prevent it from happeneing again???? Just curious..Well guess I'll go for now...I got the job...thanks for the prayers!! I start today..so i'm a little nervous..okay a lot nervous...so I gotta go...I'll talk more later..

First I would like to say THANK YOU MOM AND DAD for my new digital camara..I can now put pictures on my blog again..yeah!! I also want to say THANK YOU to my wonderful family..Donald, Haley, and Taylor for making this birthday the best birthday ever..even if it was my 30th...They got me some neat gifts and my husband got me this beautiful watch...When he proposed to me he gave me a watch in place of a ring..because we don't wear rings...A very beautiful watch..well it broke a few years ago so for my birthday he got me this gorgeous watch...He is such a romantic..he wouldn't want anyone to know that but I'm telling everyone anyways..he's my sweetheart and I love him sooooo much!!! Anyways on to the pictures..here is a picture of my little pirate and my little mermaid...they had a blast last night!!!
