Off to the Pumpkin Patch~

Problem solved

My sweet husband came to the rescue.  He made some calls and found my lost work.  This is nothing short of a miracle because as some of you may know Joel is NOT, I repeat is NOT, very computer savy.  I am very blessed to have a husband who will jump into action and come to my rescue.  Thank you Joel!

?()@$& (I think that is code for some bad words)

I received my first A&P assignment via email last week.   Yes that’s right folks class doesn’t start until Monday and I already have an assignment, I thought I was frustrated with the infringement of my last weekend before the dreaded term started but I was wrong.  The true unexplainable rage came after I lost all of the work I had spent two hours on.  SO, here’s to a great start of fall term!

A few of my favorites from TN

September 23 I remember

I am feeling a little emotional.

If I have learned one thing from Joel over the past 11 years it is not to be ruled by my emotions.  However, today I am feeling ruled.  My parents left for Sri Lanka for 3 months which is bitter sweet.  I find myself mad at them for leaving but am quick to remind myself God is bigger than my selfish desires.   My leg hurts from my latest running injury which has taken me out of the marathon next month.  I have known for a few weeks I would be unable to run, just in denial and feeling like a quitter.  I am truly disappointed that my body gave way.  This month in general is a hard month, we celebrated Ed’s birthday and then was reminded yesterday yet again of our constant loss.  A family friend’s (really she is our family) mother pasted away last week.  Sad to see her in pain. I start school next week, enough said.  I am a week behind in my work.  I imagine all this is intensified due to the lack of sleep from my travels to Tennessee.  I had a great time with my sister and loved the special time with Gaige.  I fell in love with Gaige all over again.  He is such an amazing kid.

Sorry for the randomness of this post.

Heading out~

I am heading out to see my sister in Tennessee.  I have never been to that part of the country, so my excitement is growing.  Gaige will be my traveling partner.  I am looking forward to the quality time I will get to spend with him.  Off to pack!

Whatcha’ been up to?

Well, a lot, and a lot more to come in the next week or so.  Here are two pictures of two projects that took Joel and  I way too long to complete.  Joel hung a piece of art work up after several weeks of it just sitting in our garage and well, my projects was just shy of a year in the making.  Last November I purchased this for our laundry room and well, I just hung it up.  I love the final outcome of both. 

He hung it on the ceiling in the entry into the master.  Clever he is!  (If you look closely you can see me in the mirror laying on the floor taking the picture)

I SO love the color of my laundry room.  Orange, my favorite!

School~

We are surviving the start of school.  All is well except for the dreaded sleep schedule changes.  I just can’t seem to get to bed early enough to not feel like I have been hit by a train by 4 in the afternoon.

Bitter Sweet

Today we celebrate as a family,

Remembering that who we are is in part because of who your were.

Happy Birthday Papa Ed.  We love you and miss you greatly! I hope you are enjoying chocolate pie with the King of Kings today~
