Weekend Happenings!

Well our weekend was pretty full. I cleaned alot on Saturday. Sunday we had our pastor and his wife over for dinner which went very well despite all of my woes about it! We had ham and sweet potatoes and corn and salad, (didn't have desert because they were going to a b-day party afterward and so they would get cake there!).

I'm actually writing this from work I found out I was allowed to get on the internet while on my lunch break so that's how I'm doing this.

It was so beautiful over the weekend and then I got up this morning to cold weather again UGH!!! I want it to get warm to stay! I'm anxious to start planting things and making the outside of our house look nice! (not that it doesn't but y'all know what I mean!)

Bud's work is going to 7 days a week at the end of March Ughh! (well he won't be working Sundays though he's already put his foot down on that a couple times and they're pretty good about it!) A commisary in Cleveland closed (He works for Brueggar's Bagels and I guess they call it a commisary!) So we'll both be staying pretty busy even though my schedule hopefully won't change that much.

The youth and I discussed names for the group and came up with S.W.A.T - Servants With A Testimony. We're going to try and go out calling this weekend. We've got the faithful 3 now and we really need to get more in not just for numbers but because it's what we're called to do! I did get some encouragement at church yesterday during a song and the Pastor's sermon was pretty good too! 2 of our youth boys and their grandmother sang the song "God on the Mountain" and it talks about how that even in the valley He's still God! That's so true and sometimes it's really easy to encourage someone else but when we get there ourselves it's a total different story and we don't see the way out but during his sermon yesterday the Pastor said "a valley is just a mountain turned upside down." I really like that phrase!

Well I've got to get back to work! TTYL

Beautiful Spring days!

I've been sweating up a storm cleaning my house with the doors and windows open it's got to be like 70 degree outside! Beautiful just gorgeous!

I've been staying busy being a housewife and now I've been working my new job for 3 weeks I'm finally starting to get used to and am not quite so sore! LOL

Well can't stay on for long. If y'all think of it pray for my husband and I we are in need of some encouragement with the youth group who has dwindled down to 3 young people coming! They need encouragement also! We have been praying God will intervene for us and really get a hold them and set them on fire for Him! We also want a revival in our own hearts and not only want it but desparately need it!

Well have to go! TTYL

The Weekend!

Had a baby shower for my cousin Regina who is due in April with a baby boy! Turned out pretty good. Aside from a few mishaps along the way. I had baked a cake and was going to decorate it for the shower and brought it out to Mom and Dads along with fruit for a fruit tray. I got all the fruit cut up and stuff and got ready to mix up the fruit dip and had washed the beaters and was putting them back in the mixer not thinking about it being plugged in and accidentally hit the power button and it sucked my bad left hand right into it. By the time I got it stopped and got my hand pulled out one of my bad fingers (the ring finger on my left hand) had a pretty bad cut (probably could have used a few stitches) on it right near the fingernail. Along with two other cuts one lower on that same finger and one on the middle finger next to it! It hurt pretty bad. So I guess I'll remember that it's not a good idea to try and add fingers to the mix! LOL O well could have been much worse if I hadn't been able to get my hand out in time! It's still pretty sore today but pretty much stopped bleeding and starting to heal up!

Well, my hubby and I are heading back home to Pa this afternoon probably pretty quick so I guess I better go and get our stuff together! (I had fallen asleep at the kitchen table after we ate the cake that I did finally get decorated (ended up decorating it for my parents birthdays which were in February! LOL).

Well Better go. Got lots to do this week but glad for a day to relax before going back to the grind! LOL

Praises to the Lord

I want to publicly praise the Lord for supplying me with a job! I got the job at the bulk foods store and it's only like 10 miles from home so it's not that bad. And they are working with my schedule otherwise also!

Well I know that this post is short but I have to go grocery shopping and get home and clean the house and such! (wifely duties LOL) Bud's working right now and won't be home for a couple more hours yet I suppose (since I never know when he's coming home because they work odd hours!)

We were to see my parents yesterday and enjoyed our visit even though we had a bunch of business that took us there so we were running all day! LOL

Well gotta go my time's up here at the library! More later!

Short Sweet and to the Point!

Well this post is gonna be short but just giving an update on what's been happening in our world.

My dad got released from the hospital on wednesday late so my parents came and stayed at our house for the night. He's okay and getting back to normal. However we also found out that my aunt who is a school teacher in stoneboro is very sick. She had an emergency surgery on wednesday I believe and she's still not out of the woods. Please pray for her (Bonnie Ritchey is her name)!

I went and put in an application at a minnonite bulk foods store that's about 7 miles from our house and it sounds pretty promising! Also my aunt called last night to say that the school wants me to bring in some flyers and business cards for piano lessons and they'll pass them out! And then I got an email about a nanny job thats just three days a week which is all really want! So continue to pray that the Lord works things out!

Well so much for short and sweet! Gotta go!

What a whirlwind week!

It's been beautiful weather as far as temp goes this week so far! I've had the windows open twice I would today too but we're not home!

My dad has been in the hospital this week due to an upper resparitory infection that we thought was a heart problem again. He's been undergoing stress tests today but has been in the hospital since Monday night. Thank the Lord for giving him a touch so that he is starting to feel better.

Bud and I have been doing all kinds of running around trying to get our new vehicle which is a Grand Jeep Cherokee! PA laws are nuts and they're driving us nuts anyone else have an issue with that! Have to go through so many loops and laws and regulations! LOL O well such is life and the government!

I've finally got 2 piano students so that's a little income for me but not nearly enough please continue to help me pray that I either get more students or I get a job!

Well I better go got lots to do today with all this running. My hubby is in this library somewhere just don't know where!

Visiting with In-Laws

Bud and I went to Logan this weekend to visit his family! We had a blast.

Bud preached the Sunday night service and we sang.

Saturday we went shopping (me and the girls!) we went to Texas Road house to eat and then went to the mall. I got a new shirt and skirt and stuff from Bath & Body works.

We had Christmas with them on Friday I love the gifts I got, a candle melter(with wax melts), Recipe cards, picture frames, and a liner for a recipe basket I got as a wedding gift.

They were videoing me yesterday while I was sleeping because I was snoring they said they were gonna put it on U-tube! LOL Then Bud had to use that as an illustration in his sermon last night! LOL I guess that's the first of many family illustrations!

Well, we're heading back out to Pa today. So I guess I'll go for now I'll update later. I still don't have a car since our little accident so I won't be able to get out much still till we can get to my parents and get their car! LOL
