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!!!

Happy Birthday to me!!

I can't believe I'm 30 today!! I am really having a hard time with this one. I mean I'm no longer in my twenties and never will be again!! How sad!! Why is this so hard for me to grasp!!!!????!!!! Why is this such a big deal to me?? I mean I know all of you older than me are saying your still young just wait till you hit 40 or 50,etc...but I'm still feeling like I'm actually somewhat old now...I remember as a teenager I thought 30 was sooooo old!!! I've even heard a few younger V.L.B.'s slip and say 30 is old...I told Donald last night I have to start acting like an adult now..but I don't know how!! LOL!! I guess your never to old to learn, huh? Anyways on to better things!! I posted on my blog on Saturday but it didn't go through..so I never tried to post it again. I went to Russel Springs on Saturday with some of the ladies from church to attend a Ladies Day that Sis. Cindi Brown was having. It was a lot of fun!! We played games, ate, talked, had a devotion and just had a lot of laughs..oh and shared crafts too. We had a good day. On to some more good news..I just received a phone call a little while ago for my second interview with Home Health. Last Friday I had my first one and I didn't know for sure how well I had done..I had to take two tests while I was there..I felt as though I bombed them but maybe not since they called me back today. I just want to thank everyone that said they were praying for me and those that didn't say but where...Thanks!! Please don't stop now because I need more prayers..my next interview is this coming Friday!! Again Thanks for the Prayers!! I'll keep you updated...well better go..I'm going to Haley's school in a little while for her Halloween Party...so I'll talk more later..

Saturday

Hey everyone..It's Saturday and I'm getting ready to leave with some of the sisters from church to go to Russel Springs for a Ladies Day. Yesterday was my interview and they said that they were interested and would call my references and probably call me for a second interview..so just keep me in your prayers..if this is the right one for me I would definetely like it..I would be working with a variety of people..so that would be neat. But I want what the Lord wants..so if this isn't surely theres something else down the road..So thanks again for the prayers and please keep saying them for me..thanks!! Last night was Haley's Fall Festival at school. It was alot of fun..I helped in the cash office most of the night, so I didn't really get to run around with Haley but her daddy and grammy, and aunt janna did. They all seemed to have had alot of fun. It was a good turn out. Well that's about it for now..I'll post more later and keep you updated on the job thing. Surely something is going to happen..I'm so impatient...I need to be more patient..haha..bye.

Busy, busy, busy

Hello everyone. Just thought I'd type a little bit while I had some time. I'm getting ready to go to Haley's school and help them in a fundraiser during the lunch hour. Tommorrow night is the schools largest fundraiser, it's our Fall Festival. I'll be working in it this year. So I believe my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are going to help Donald with Haley at the Fall Festival. She's so excited. I'm going to leave Taylor with my mom. That poor little school gets sooooo packed that it's hard to breath in it, let a lone trying to keep up with a 1 year old. So I think it is all going to work out..(I hope) Please pray for me, I have an interview tomorrow..I really need a job bad!! Even if this one isn't the best one or the one I would prefer it would be something allowing some money to come in and help pay the bills. So I hope that I am able to get this job..if I don't it looks like I'm going to start looking at the nursing homes. I really don't want to work at one of them, but I will have to do something to get some experience and then maybe a hospital will hirer me eventually, who knows...I'm just rambling..anyways just say a prayer for me tommorrow for this interview..thanks!! Love you guys!! talk atcha later.

Long time, No Post

Okay...I had been wanting to post this whole time but I have been soooooo busy!! Let me explain..I have just finished up a 2 week fast class to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. I haven't been in school for over 10 years..so I didn't know what I was getting myself into..haha...It was Mon-Fri 8-4 everyday...8 hour classes!!! The first week I couldn't believe I had decided to do this..I came home got the kids cleaned up, fed, and ready for bed and then I hit the books. I would study each night for 3 hours a night. I was totally flipping out. (I know some of you college kids are thinking..Nursing Assistant..thats easy) and it probably is for you youngen's But I'm almost 30 and like I said it had been awhile since I had been in class. Well I made it through the first week and scored really good on my tests and then that weekend went to a Hayride in Elizabethtown, Ky. At Leandra and Josh Morris house. They were hosting it but it was for our whole region. We had a blast and if I had a digital I would have took pictures and have posted them on here..but sadly I don't...because mine broke!! But back to the story..We went to church on Sunday and then on Monday I started it back up again...Only this time it wasn't nearly as bad as the former week had been..Thank the Lord!!! We had clinicals on that Wed. and Thurs...which was really interesting..and a tad bit gross..but I guess something that I will have to get used to..LOL!!! Then on Friday we had our finishing tests...and Praise the LORD..I passed the class with a 99%!!! I prayed the whole 2 weeks!! Now I still ain't done completely!! So anyone reading this say a prayer for me..I go in two weeks to take my state boards test...This will Register me in the state of Kentucky!! I hear it is very intimidating and I'm easily intimadated!! So pray!! But that has pretty much been my last two weeks...I spent yesterday putting in applications and I actually have a interview on Friday for a Home Health Nurses Assistant position...So that might be a starter, but I want to eventually end up in a Hospital. I also want to in a year or two..(when Taylor gets a little older) go to school to be a Nurse. This will let me know if I'm really cut out for it to before I pursue it. But anywho..sorry I haven't really been keeping up with everyone..but I've missed everyone!!! Just keep Donald and I in your prayers..we're going through a lot right now...financially and emotionally...we're just wanting to make sure we are in God's will and were he wants us!! I'm not talking about leaving The Church...I feel like this is still The Church and unless God tells me otherwise I ain't going nowhere!! Anyways..I hope I have some lurkers still out there to read my posts..I may have lost all my audience..I think this is the longest I have ever went with out posting..sorry...I'll try to do better..but usually when I say that I do worse...LOL!! Talk to everyone later...

Monday Morning

Yes, it is Monday Morning..I've already taken my girly girl, Haley to school and my mom came down to my house this morning and stayed so I didn't have to get my baby girl, Taylor, up. My mom is so wonderful!! She spoils me way toooo much!!! My weekend was okay...I guess it was pretty boring actually. Didn't do a whole lot. Friday night we went out to eat with my dad at CiCi's. Saturday I played Monopoly with Bryan and Amber..we didn't get to finish though because I had to go somewhere and they did too. After that Donald, I and the girls and Donald's mom and sister went to this really cool pumpkin patch. Haley picked out this gigantic pumpkin and a smaller pumpkin and three gourds. She said it was "Bigg Daddy Pumpkin and little momma. She named the gourds, Haley and Taylor and Samson, our dog. haha..and if I had a camara that worked I would take a picture of them. But I don't **pushing lower lip out and pouting** Taylor started running a fever again on Saturday and coughing a lot. She was up all through the night and on Sunday she was still feeling bad so I kept her home from church on Sunday morning, but we had prayer for her before Donald and Haley left and I'm sure they prayed for her at church. She started feeling better Sunday afternoon so I was able to take her last night. She slept all through the night last night too...yeah for her and yeah for mommy!! LOL!! I'm so glad I know a God that can answer my every need and my families needs!!! Well thats about it for now...I'm so excited because school is only a 4 day week this week....That means we can sleep in on Friday...YEAH!! And on top of that they don't have school on Monday either...YIPEEE!!! I think we might go camping this weekend...not sure yet..but thinking very seriously about it in our new camper...it is suppose to be pretty this weekend...we'll see as the weekend gets closer..well talk to you guys later.

New Post

Hey everyone..I am posting a new post. Not a lot to talk about though...still no job. I need to just put it in God's hands. He'll see us threw this little battle were going through. It seems it's always easier to say that to someone than to actually believe it yourself or maybe believe isn't the right term...well to actually follow your own advice..it's a lot harder than it sounds..I guess thats what I'm trying to say. Okay I'm just rambling now..I'll stop. Just please remember us in your prayers that we will follow the Lord's leading and direction.

Okay..let's see...Haley got another 100% on her spelling test...so far she's 3 for 3 on them..yeah!!! She is such a smart little thing!!!

My digital camara is broken..boohooo..so I can't put anymore pictures on my blog until I get this one fixed or a new one..I've been hinting to my mom and dad about a new one..my birthday is in 31 more days...maybe...(wishful thinking probably..lol)

Well I guess I'll end this now..not much to say..I've been trying to get someone to play monopoly with me..I've been in the mood for it..I'm not usually in the mood to play a boardgame..but for a week now I've wanted to play..One good game would let me get my feel of it for a while..haha..I might play tomorrow with my cousin, Amber. I was going to get her to play tonight but she went with her family to a revival, I think her dad was holding. Well this tme I'm for real...I've got to go..talk to you later!! Peace Out homies...oops sorry..I don't usually act like this in front of people..my husband's face is probably red reading this..I embarrass him so bad sometimes...LOL!! BYE

It's been awhile...

Hello fellow bloggers!! I haven't posted in awhile...I don't really know why, I guess I just hadn't really felt like blogging. Nothing really new has went on here. Kinda been boring. I do want to say thank you to everyone who said a prayer for my little stinker, Taylor. She is doing much better now. Back to her old self. I hate it when my kids get sick!! Especially my youngest one..because she still doesn't understand exactly how to tell me why she's feeling bad...Haley on the other hand can just have a cough and she is making sure I know about it..LOL!!! Let's see, what else.....Oh..We're getting a camper!!! We're pretty excited about that!!! We're going in halfers with my aunt and uncle on it...We've been wanting one for awhile..I think it will be a lot of fun and the girls will have a blast!! I used to go camping with my mom and dad when I was little...We did it the hard way though..a tent!! LOL...We thought we were camping in style though..of course, my mom, never believed in roughing it so she always brought her little black and white t.v. and a few other things that really don't belong at a campsite..but who cares...it was a blast!! I can't wait to take it out camping!! Let's see is there any new news..I have been so slacking here lately..I haven't been keeping up with anyones blog..but on the upside I have gotten a lot of house work done!! LOL!!! My laundry is actually done completely up!! I'm so excited!! This almost never happens..we go through the clothes here...It's just four people but we sure do go through alot!! Go figure!! If it doesn't rain this weekend we might have a yardsale..not sure about that. Oh yeah..very important, please anyone who thinks about it would you say a prayer that I could find a job..I need a job that is going to pay enough that I can pay a babysitter...so please say a prayer for me that I'll find what the Lord would have me to do. I don't really want to work..I enjoy being at home with my youngen's but right now our income is a little down..so I'd like to be able to get a job to help out..atleast until things change a little in the income way..LOL!! I love to shop..I haven't been able to do that as much here lately..LOL!! Plus, Christmas is coming up..I know if the Lord wants me to have a job that he will lead me to the right one..and that best fits our family schedule..God is an awesome God!!
Well I guess I have bored you all to tears by now..so I'll let you go..maybe I'll have an exciting weekend and then I can post something wonderfully exciting...Probably not..LOL!! Well talk to you later..bye.

Prayer Request

Please if your reading this say a prayer for my little girl, Taylor. She is not feeling well and has not been able to keep anything in her for a few days now. Everything is coming out as soon as it goes in...and this morning she started running a fever and dry heaving...she is still in good spirits but you can tell she doesn't feel well...Please say a prayer for her anytime you happen to think of us...she doesn't have alot of weight to loose..she needs to get better!! I know God is here on the scene already..Love ya'll...

Sunday Morning

Hey..I'm getting ready to leave for church here in just a few minutes and thought I'd post before I left. Not a lot going on here..yesterday, Saturday, I pretty much lazied around..I like lazy days...I got up and went Yard Saleing with my Grandma and cousin, Amber..and my kids. We found a few bargains but not to many Yard Sales out. I love to go to Yard Sales.. I came home and started watching this movie. It was a pretty suspensful movie and kinda made me jumpy the rest of the day..LOL!! Then I fed the kids, got their baths and put them to bed..I wasn't far behind them. This week has been exhausting..I didn't know the Assembly could wear someone out so much..It takes a whole week to recooperate..LOL!! Well thats pretty much been my weekend..I know we'll have good services today..My husband's uncle died and we will have to go to the Funeral Home tonight..please pray for his family..It was his mom's brother. Well I'll post more later.

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Dear KASEY
Happy Birthday to you!!!
And many more!!

Happy Birthday Kasey!!!

Back Home

Hello Blogging World!! We finally got back Monday night from the Assembly!! We had a great time seeing old friends, making new friends..I love going to the GA. I also enjoyed several of the messages. After we left Sunday Afternoon from the GA, we went to Gatlinburg, TN and spend the night...It was fun and relaxing. The next day we got up and did a little shopping and played putt-putt with Haley. Taylor just strolled around in the her stroller. We had a lot of fun. Now we're back home and back into the same old grind. But I feel refreshed..I'm ready for Fall, I think. NOT WINTER though..I don't like the cold whether. Well I guess thats it for now. I'll post more later.

Nothing going on

Hey everybody..not much to post here..not a lot going on. I'm just abiding my time until we can leave for the assembly!! I think me and the kids are going to be leaving to go down on Tuesday with my parents unless something changes. Donald, unfortately, will not be able to come down until Friday night sometime. He has to work and could not get off. I quit my job at Goody's. The schedule just wasn't working out for me. Being gone of the evenings is not good when you have kids in school. I would barely see my Daughter, Haley. It was getting to where when she got home I was having to leave. I just didn't like it one bit. Plus I hardly seen Donald too. We decided even thought the extra money was good that I would quit and maybe look for a job that I could work during the daytime or even get a baby or child to babysit here at the house. I don't know. I would love to get a job in the school. That would be great. Theres actually a position coming open that I might have a chance at..maybe a small chance, but a chance...Please say a prayer for me that I might get an opportunity at this job IF it's the Lord's will!!!! It would be a neat job and a nice opportunity to get more familiar with the families around this area, but God knows what I and my family need..so please keep me in your prayers concering this...Well thats about it for now...Maybe I won't be so boring next time...haha...bye.

My Husband

Hello Everyone...I just wanted to share some pictures from yesterday morning service. My husband did a baby dedication. I know most people say so what, it's just a baby dedication. But he takes it above and beyond and makes it really special for the parents and the family. He loves children and he has always enjoyed being able to have the honor of dedicating a baby. I just thought I'd share these pictures of the young couple and their baby being dedicated. The young lady just recently got saved and has been attending every service and is growing in the Lord everyday..

I've been married to my husband, Donald, for ALMOST 10 years...I can't hardly believe it!! I know I don't tell people or say it enough, but He is wonderful!! I think he is the best daddy and husband ever!! He is so sweet and understanding. I feel very blessed to have him. I'm not one to normaly express my feelings to other people, except my husband. But I just felt like saying how special he is to me tonight. I don't know I think I've changed in so many ways this year..Hopefully for the better...I have become a lot more open to others and let more people in my little world than I used to...atleast that is the way it feels to me. Anyways..I just wanted to share how wonderful I think My Husband, Donald Ray, is to me!! He's a good husband and provider for me..and I love him!! (Donald if your reading this don't forget about that BIG Christmas gift I've been wanting..haha..Just kidding!!!

Okay thats enough from me..I'm sure everyone is probably gagging now.. from all the mushy talk...LOL!!!Oh Well...Bye.

More Pictures

Okay..I wanted to post some pictures of Taylor because I had put all of those pictures of Haley on there of her first day of school. Taylor is VERY HARD to take pictures of...I'm not sure why she refuses to look at the camara most of the time...but here are a couple shots of her...The first one is of her making her escape from something she probably did or maybe she was running from the camara..who knows?!?!?! The second one is my favorite...I got it tonight before church started..She was eating those little corn puffs..and she has a cold so some snot(sorry) was running down her nose and the little corn puff got stuck in it..hehehe!! You gotta love em!!! Note: I did take it from her before she ate it. LOL!! Thats about all I have recent of her...she hates the camara..I'm surprised she let me take the last one of her...I've got to catch her off guard to do it though...Post more later...
