Yes, I know... it's been a long time.
I really haven't had anything to say! Life has been great. I have nothing to vent about... praise God!
My panoramic roof leaked...got it fixed. They gave me a mini-van to drive. Uh... like how do people drive those? They'll barely do 80 mph... I wouldn't dare try to pass anyone in one and unless you have popped out 5.5 kids why would you want one? I'm such a speed demon that I couldn't drive one ...ever!
I was so glad to get my car back!
I took Tucker shopping tonight, he's decided that he needs to wear boxers now so I had to go buy some (they had to have skateboarders on them) and I bought his some new clothes (had to have skateboarders on them) and a winter coat... he had to pick the orange and black one for the Bengals (OOOOOO YUCK)!
I'm going to tell everyone that it's for the Wilmington Hurricanes (our colors are orange and black also). I couldn't face the public to tell them my child is a bungles fan! GO DALLAS COWBOYS!!! WWOOO__HOOO!!!
Okay. So we're past that... church is fantastic... alot of things are really starting to change and grow and the Holy Spirit is like WAY evident! That is so exciting!
The Close to My Heart business... wow... so here is a give you goosebumps story... I went to one of my downlines open house Sat to help her out. Well while there I said man, I really need business in Wilmington! So, in the car on the way home (my wet car I might add) I said to the Lord, I really need business in Wilmington... I didn't really pray it... I just said it to him. I come home and check my voicemail WELL... (disclosure GOD IS GOOD) I had a msg from a lady at Proverbs31 gifts that my order was wrong... I call her back and we get on scrapbooking... she's a HUGE scrapbooker and they have a crop every month at her church and she wants to see my stuff and have a party! As if that wasn't cool enough... I check my email first thing Sunday morning and there is a msg from a woman in the next town who ran across CTMH on the web did a find me a consultant search and I came up and she has booked a party for the 12th of Oct. NOW! As if THAT wasn't enough... I get an email tonight from a CTMH Jr Consultant looking for a friend... she's new to the area and thought about resigning from CTMH. Man oh man... my head is spinning! Now don't tell me that Lord isn't real! Cause I'm gonna tell ya that He's REAL - REAL GOOD!
First grade is going well - shew!
Work is work... it's going well as far as work goes.
The marriage you ask? ey... it's a marriage.... actually, I'm trying to work on my attitude. I've got to make the best of it and trust that it will change. God has sent some wonderful people in our lives and I know that they are starting to impact Tim's life and I see some changes already. Evidence again of the Lord.
As the old hymn says... I have proved you over and over!
Welp, that's my life... bore bore bore to everyone else.
I am planning to get a semi-reunion together of some of my old friends from when I was 15 and younger. Going to plan that for sometime in Oct.
I am looking forward to that!! Kris - you are more than welcome to help me plan it and give me any address' that you have. I'm going to handmake the invites.
Oh! Check out my friends blog... she talks as if her baby does the talking... it's hysterical!! www.lolaandherfamily.blogspot.com
So CUTE!

The Lord is MY shepard! Do you know what that means? That means He guides us, He watches over us, if we got lost He'll find us, He protects us! Such BIG meaning is such a simple verse.
I thank you this morning dearest Father for being my shepard!
Things are going well for me. The Dr office called yesterday and my blood levels are at 100something. I was disappointed. I have to go again next Tuesday to have more blood drawn. I am growing weary (it feels like it's been weeks and then I realized it's only be one week today). I just want this to be finished. I want to stop cramping every evening. I sat in church last night and had to keep leaning forward and biting my lip trying to ignore the pain I felt! Please keep praying. We are studying the Holy Spirit, the Helper on Wednesday's. Understanding the Trinity, each distinct personality or purpose of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit and why He is here and the miracles that can and are still performed today by the Holy Spirit. It's got my FULL attention! I was raised in a Nazarene church so being baptized by the Holy Spirit isn't something that was ever taught to me. Now that I'm going to an Assembly of God (penecostal) church I'm enthralled with all I'm learning!
My mom came home from the hospital yesterday (forecefully I might add). She is one stubborn cookie! I guess they diagnosed the problem as Fiberticulitis (pockets in your colon) and seeds and such get stuck in these pockets and it can become very swollen and painful and apparently your colon can burst. Which is what they were afraid of. She does go back to her Dr today to be checked out and the surgeon (who was her Dr in the hosp.) next week for follow ups. She is still in pain so remember her in your prayers still. Thank you!
My card workshop - oh God is good! I started cramping and bleeding horribly on my way home from work Tuesday night but I was not going to call and cancel! Well i prayed that the big group wouldn't show and only have a couple there. WELP! Three women! That's it! The group still had to place their orders even if they don't come to the workshop, so it was very laid back, I got to sit down most of the night and I swear God is so good! The group is a group of Christian ladies that I met at the Church of Christ crop in Xenia (through a lady here at work). They are the funniest bunch of women and so fun to be around. They truly are lovers of the Lord and I feel so blessed that God has led us together. I see big things! :-)
So, that is my life in a nutshell. Our pool finally opened and Tucker went swimming for a little while last night. Too cold for me still but today is to be 91 and I might have to leave work early and hit the pool with my family. Today is Tim's day off and I could use some hubby time. I miss him terribly all week long! God has so re-newed my love and strengthend and deepend my love for my husband! This miscarriage has been a blessing as far as seeing my husband in a new light. It's also been a great testimony for those people who've known me for years. They say how are you okay and I get to say it's God! It's God that has given me peace. They walk away shaking their heads and they have to know that I'm telling the truth because they know the old bitter angry Holli. They have to know it really is God! ISN'T THAT COOL?!??!?!
Well, enjoy your Thursdays. I pray there is sunny skies where you are and I pray that the Lord meets your needs right where you are at today! If you don't know the Lord as your Savior then I pray that you will ask Him for forgiveness today because TRUST ME there is NOTHING to great for Him to handle. Nothing you could have done so wrong that you can't be forgiven and you don't have to go anywhere but on your knees and He, our great and mighty God will come to you right where you are!
Thank you LORD!

Hola mi amigos! I thought I'd start with a little spanish since I'm desperately wishing I was in Mexico along the ocean somewhere! It is so darn cold and I've totally wimped out on going to the gym! I can't make myself face the cold!
I did walk a mile in the hallway of my bldg (round and round and round and round) Tuesday. Yesterday I wrestled a little with the kid, ran the vacuum, then wrestled with my husband (if you get my point) so I got some excercise in yesterday. Now Monday... totally sedentary!
I keep saying okay next week no matter what! But geesh I just can't stand that -15 degree wind chill whipping around my legs and hurts my lungs to breath it! If my husband is reading this he's saying" Excuses Excuses"! (hi honey)
So, I never have posted about the crop in detail. Well, I always thought a crop was more like a crafty home int. party. Like you got together to scrapbook while the host "sells" her product. Okay, so it's totally not that way. It really is a bunch of girls getting together to scrapbook, share ideas, share tools and just really enjoy each others companies and each others stories about the photographs! And who doesn't LOVE to tell the story about their pictures?!
She had goodie bags made up that had valentine day banners and borders and velum and stickers for scrapbooks, she had a candy bar and some chocolate valentine candy, she had ribbon and valentine brads in the bags. Now she handmade each bag cover. They were beautiful! She made us fettucini alfredo and chicken for dinner, we each brought a chocolate dessert plus she had chocolate covered strawberries, cherries, bananas, pretzels, angel food cake, mini marshmallows OH MY GOSH could there be more... OH yes! And handmade and iced heart shaped sugar cookies. Let me tell you this 25 yr old school teacher is the craftiest thing next to Martha! She would've made Martha proud! But I got my husbands scrapbook DONE yep for you scrappers I got a WHOLE book done! It contained his newspaper clippings & certificates of achievement and letters from kids etc. I got the cutest police stickers and such and it turned out great! I got two halloween pages done of Tucker. I learned a ton of tricks which include some stamping and "staining" and using the cricut machine. It was really fun! Can't wait for another!
I've been off work most of the week. Was out Monday had to leave early Tuesday and was out yesterday. So this week has flown by! HAHA. Not really, being trapped inside with a 6 yr old alone is really not all that fun. NOW yesterday! WHOA! What a great day. I wish everyday could be like yesterday. My husband is off on Wed. the weather was so bad I couldn't come to work (I have a long treacherous drive in the winter). So, Tucker and I worked on his model car that Uncle John bought him. (it was cute). He painted it and put the stickers on it and was so very proud. Then we played a couple of games. Tim got up and said okay bub get your clothes on... so I piled him into his snowsuit and the boys went out on the 4 wheeler in 5-7" of snow! They pushed each other down and generally had a blast. I took a shower, then Tuck came in while Tim shoveled everything. I then cleaned, Tim came in and cleaned and then he said let's go. We all piled into the car and went to a local pizza joint (SO GOOD) and rented movies.
I finally watched Little Miss Sunshine (so funny) and I'll watch Devil wears prada tonight.
I truly wish my husband worked 1st shift every evening could be spent together talking and playing games. Weekends off so we could run errands and go on dates. Man really yesterday was the best married day in a long long time. It makes me feel so very sad for all the days that are wasted being lonely.
But anywho... life is going along. I'm going to look tonight at possibly selling some stuff called Close to my Heart. It's stamping, card making and scrap booking stuff. Between me and Kris we'll have all you need! Lol!
I'm nervous about driving somewhere I've never been and going to a complete strangers house but I am excited about the possibilities that lay in front of me.
OH! Another thing... I met a lady named Bonnie at the crop I went too. She's new to my church and we really hit it off. Her husband is a truck driver and is also gone alot. We live fairly close (w/in 20-30 min). God is good and always provides what we need if we just wait for it!
So that catches you up on my life.
I wish I could write as witty as Dooce. She's hilarious! I caught her link from child lost page. Really if you haven't visited her site she's really satirical.
