As It Turns Out....

Well this hasn't been my best week, but I can honestly say it hasn't been my worst.

I didn't think I was going to survive, but with God's grace I did. I lost my job this week. I'm pretty bummed. I felt like I was finally getting the hang of it and BAM there it goes. Before anyone jumps to conclusions, I didn't get fired....it was more like let go. But, it was my decision. Carmin and I have had several things going in the wrong direction financially and we are just trying to get them fixed. Well, in the midst of all this it didn't look like I was going to have reliable transportation. My manager wanted me to be able to guarantee her that I would always have a way to work. With the situation I found myself in at the time and Carmin's work schedule I realized that I could not make that guarantee. So...she wished me luck and sent me on my way. Now it looks like the transportation end has worked itself out but now it's TOO late to keep my job :( Everything happens for a reason, so I'm just trusting that the Lord knows what He is doing. I've been through many struggles, but the Lord has guided me through them every time. I really hope that one day I will look back at all that we've been through and see what God was turning us into. That is was all part of the plan to make us better people. I want the Lord to use us, and if this is what we have to go through to get there....so be it. So in conclusion, here's my prayer: Potter mold the clay.....make me the vessel that you would have me to be :)

Long time no blog.....

Hello :)
I know I haven't been on here in FOREVER....thank you Livy for the reminder lol!
Well A lot has been going on in the last month. Some good some bad. On a positive note, I finally got my job at David's Bridal! I am a wedding/bridal consultant for them and I love it! I usually work 4-5 days a week and around 3-close. "Close" varies anywhere from 9:30-11 :( I'm thankful to have a good job, so I don't complain!
There are a few bumps in the road that we are going through right now, at this time I'm not exactly at Liberty to discuss them, so just keep us in your prayers. It will be greatly appreciated, I promise!
Emilee is growing like a weed! Every time I turn around she has gotten bigger and talks more and more! It's so fun to watch the little things she picks up on. Yesterday she walked around saying "bird...tweet tweet!" It was so sweet!
I love my little family and I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful one. I better get off of here....gotta go to work. Carmin is going canoeing and Emilee is going to my mom and dad's....thinking I get the the bad end here lol, but it's all good :)

Emilee is growing up way too fast :( Today she has been running around here using all kinds of words and just acting all grown up. I love her so much and I adore watching her grow and learn new things. Today I just wish she could be a baby again :(

Crazy Week...

It's only Wednesday and it's already been a crazy week. Tonight we are having a surprise going away party for a family at church. I'm in charge and I have been trying to get everything perfect. Tomorrow I have a meeting at work at one and then around seven I am supposed to go to another meeting. In the midst of all of this, we are trying to get a new a car. I'm not gonna lie, that is a stressful task.
I am glad it's summer, it rained today so it wasn't too hot for about an hour :) Well gotta get ready for church and pick up the cake. The family that is leaving is moving to FL. So...I got a tropical/beach cake! :)

Seriously?

Hey :)
Well long story short...it wasn't a hole in our air mattress, it was a rip in the seam. So, I had the pleasure of returning it (out of it's box cuz it wouldn't fit) to JcPenny's. Luckily, the girl remembered me and swapped it out no questions asked! Today is my brother-in-law's 23 bday! Happy Bday Alex!! I got to see my momma today. She brought down some adorable clothes and shoes she had bought for Emilee. It was good to see her :) We only live an hour away but life is busy so we don't get to see each other as much as we would like. I know this is a very random and sporadic blog...but hey, that's the story of my life. Hope everyone has a good Friday! My hubby gets off early tomorrow and is off Monday for Memorial Day! Woohoo for long weekends!!! G'night :)

Whew...what a day.

Well the air bed is back up and running! My husband is a genius. Woohoo! Today was eventful, from 300+ bobby pins and safety pins sprawled all across my living room floor (thank you Emilee) to realizing that I was out of butter when I had just taken something out of the oven that needed butter on top of it that instant. So, nothing tragic...just eventful. When I was doing my devotions today, the Lord really pressed something on my heart. I was reading in Matthew, where Jesus was giving the sermon on the mount and where he talked about how we treat others, and I realized that sometimes we can have little grudges or bad feelings in our hearts against someone and not even realize it. At least not until the Lord shows us. The Lord knows our hearts even more than we do, and that's how he knew exactly what I needed to read today. I had something small that I was holding against someone and it wasn't right. The Lord showed me and I was able to pray about it and get rid of it. God is ever faithful and will never fail to show us what we need. He is so good! I can go to sleep tonight knowing that I cleared something from my heart, and that the Lord took time to show me. I really am blessed! Good night :)
