Our new camper!

Babysit!

I am babysitting for a friend of mine. Her little daughter is about 15 months old and oh so cute. She is a very good baby. All she does all day long is smile and giggle at me. I must look silly to her. Who knows.
Anyway I watched her for a little bit yesterday but Justin (my husband) decided to get a camper, so we drove 3 hours one way to get a camper...got the camper and drove that many hours home. It was a long drive but our camper looks great. LOL!! Its new to us.
I went out to my garden this morning with Adelyn (the little girl I am watching) and I cut some lettuce. This is the first from my fresh garden. I can't wait to eat the wonderful lettuce. I know it will be a lot better for us than the stuff at the grocery store, if I get all the bugs off it...Just kidding. I will get all the bugs out.
Mom, your commment did get monitored I just didn't post it. I love you!

Prayer Request!

Friends and Family,
Please pray for a friend of mine, Kristin. She had a close friend pass away today. I met the lady this past Saturday, 4 days ago, at a Pampered Chef Party and she was ok then. They said she was fine but her heart just stopped. If you would lift my friend Kristin and her family up in your prayers I would appreciate it.
Father God, I lift up Linda's family to you today. Please be with them and comfort them in this time of loss. Be with Kristin and her parents Julie and David as they have lost a great friend. Please give them a peace that passes all understanding and wrap your loving arms around them. In your name I pray. AMEN!

Summer Job!

I can't decide if I want to get a summer job or not. However, I do have a couple little jobs to do. I am watching a friend of mine's daughter a couple of days this week, I of course, am helping Amy this summer prepare for things like VBS and the Fourth of July. I will be helping Justin's parents at a couple festivals this summer also. Busy summer but I hope to have some fun also.

Funny!

I thought this was a really cute and true e-mail I recieved.


A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them
were Obama fans.Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to
be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands
except for Little Johnny .The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided
to be different... again.Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not an Obama fan."The teacher asked, "Why aren't you a fan of Obama?"
Johnny said, "Because I'm a Republican."The teacher asked him why he's a Republican.
Little Johnny answered, "Well, my Mom's a Republican,
my Dad's a Republican, so I'm a Republican."
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, "If your mom was
a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"With a big smile, Little Johnny replied,
"That would make me an Obama fan."

Everything!

Wow! there is a lot happening this weekend. My in-laws are in town doing a festival in Rockaway Beach. On Saturday I am going to a pampered chef party and hanging out with Kristin from church. We just met so it will great to get to know each other more. Then Sunday our church is having a ground breaking celebration. The LORD is really moving in Rockaway and we are so excited to get things going with the new building. We really need the space so I can't wait. It is going to be a great day. I am making potato salad for the ground breaking! It is my mom's recipe and its DELICIOUS!!!

Friends??

Friend(s)--what kind of word is that? Sometimes I wonder who my true friends are and who they aren't. Some of my friends seem to only want to be friends when it is convenient for them, others are there for me but may live a long way from here. Some I can never seem to get in touch with because our lives are so busy. At any rate I still love them all.
There is one friend that is always there for me. His name is JESUS! Even though I may sometimes stray from Him, He is always there with open arms waiting for me to come back to Him. What a true friend we have in the LORD our God!
My momma makes manufactured stone and she made Justin and me Ten Commandments stones. I worked today to find a place out front for them. What a better world this would be if we all would just live by those ten simple things.

House work! BLAH!!

Today I don't have to go to work. YEAH!!! I am off until August 9th, well kind of. I will still be working and helping friends out and things, but no actual work until then. I am looking forward to a great summer.
I am feeling much better today. Still not 100% but getting closer. Today is house cleaning day, YUCK!!! I don't like it one bit, but it has to be done. Justin's parents will be in town this weekend so I need to get the house clean before they come.
Today I have started laundry, done dishes, and folded some clothes that needed folded. Laundry is top priority today.
At 1 I am going over to my friend Amy's house to help her get some things organized for Wednesday nights at church. She is the pastor's wife and a dear friend.

1st Day of Summer break

Yesterday, since it is very early on Sunday morning, was my first day of summer break. It was very busy and now I feel like I am getting sick. It is 4:18 in the am and I can't sleep. The flu has been going around school. Lots of teachers were sick the last day of school, I hope I don't catch it, that wouldn't be any fun at all.
Today we are going to go to church and the have Jonathan and Amy (our pastor and his wife) over for lunch and fellowship. After that I hope to just have a relaxing day.
Monday I am going to go help Amy with some church stuff. I'm not sure I know what I am doing but I will try my best. Well, I need to try and get back to bed.

Last Day of School!!

Hello friends,
It is the last day of school here at Galena Elementary. It is my last day in 2nd grade as well. Next year I will be teaching 6th grade Math and Science. I am looking forward to the wonderful opportunity the LORD has blessed me with.
I had 24 amazing students this year, and I am looking forward to next year.

This summer I hope I get to rest, go camping, hang out somewhere at a pool and enjoy my summer. I have a few things planned already and it looks as if the there won't be much more time left of summer, but hopefully there is some.

Hello!

Hello Family and Friends,
I am excited to start my new blog. I look forward to many entries that will be encouraging to others and keep people updated about our life.
I love you all.
