my new job

so for some of you, you know that i am now working at a nursing home closer to home. it is about two miles from home, which is nice. i am working on the alzheimers unit there (sometimes it feels more like the psych ward) but these people don't understand that they are hurting us, so we are ok with the abuse we sometimes encounter at work. ryan too works on the same unit. i am working day shift and he does evenings. we are really enjoying having our shifts back this way. i am now able to sleep at night and spend time with the girls in the evenings.

on the way home from work i noticed that someone was giving away a treadmill. i, like maria, am all about cheap, but free is better. i have been wanting to get a piece of exercise equipment and since the man was outside the house i stopped to see if it still worked and when he said it did, i asked him to help me get it in my van. so now i have a treadmill and the man said to me as i left, "happy exercising" which i thought was really nice of him to wish me well.

kenzie went to zoey's birthday party last saturday, and had a blast. she wants to have hers at the park where zoey had hers. we are thinking about it. kenzie will be 6 on sunday, so we are planning on doing a party later this month or early next month. will keep everyone posted as i can on that.

maddie is starting to talk more and more. now i have two kids talking non stop.

and that is about the update other than: I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF TAKING DOWN SOME UGLY BORDER! then i will paint the living room.

we wish everyone well and talk to you all soon

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.
