goings on

so, we are 2 weeks from thanksgiving... what is goings ons in this house?

kenzie is constantly asking how much longer for santa! she knows after halloween comes "turkey day" and then daddy's birthday, then shell bell's birthday and then christmas... she is counting it down this year!

maddie is starting to finally figure out that when she is wet it isn't comfy, so off comes the patty potty pants!

i am status quo just working and the other day, i got called in for a four hour field trip! it was insane. because i haven't been in the state of florida for five years, i had to be fingerprinted. (keep in mind we just got prints done for the board of nursing to renew our certificates), so eight of us headed out in the company van with one following in her vehicle with her children. we get to tampa and they don't have fingerprint cards (not to mention the attitude we got because we didn't have them) so charlie calls back to work and after a little while we get back in the van and head to cleawater. they had the cards, we waited probably another twenty minutes before the lady came down to do our prints and when she saw the amount of us, she went crazy. she acted like she had more important things to be doing than fingerprints! in my opinion, if it is your job, it is your job, like it or get a new one lady! we finally get done, and charlie is running late for his second job, so he calls and has arne drop his car by the second job while arne picks up the van that had all of us in it. the rest of the ride home was interesting to say the least! a great big van pulling a u turn in front of an suv that was too close! we were all praying and screaming at the same time! so we get back to work and i called ryan to come pick me up! it was crazy! so now i get to go to work tonight!

ryan has had a few interviews this week. we are just praying that the right job will surface for him.

mom and pop are doing well from what i understand. i talked to pop on saturday. he was supposed to call on sunday to talk to the girls, but forgot to i guess, so i will be trying to get a hold of him this weekend.

and that is that!

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
