getting there

Well we are getting there. The drive way is done. The mailbox is up. My Dad got me two reflectors for my drive way so I wouldn't run off of it in the dark. The marker is there waiting on the water man to put my meter. The man came today to do our septic tank testing and give us our permit. The trailer man has assured me he will have my home there no later than Wednesday. Its coming slowly but surely. I am truly blessed to have made it this far but I can tell you its not without a lot of prayer. Worrying too. Not that I should worry but thats something I do very easy. I am a natural at it!!!
Tomorrow David, I and the kids are going to the land to do more root picking. These things are everywhere. Everyone has told us that we will be doing this for many years but we have to just head it on and tackle it.

Onto another topic. The Bible. I am doing so well with my readings. I plan to have it done by the summer but I wish I could just get it over with. Not that I am never gonna read it again I just want to say that I have read the whole thing. I have learned so much since picking it up and reading it word for word. Each book has many things in it. The Bible truly is a MUST read!

I am planning to start a BIG challenge tomorrow as well. For one, getting up at 7 am. I plan to wake up. Start my day with prayer and then cook a hot meal for my kids and David. I rarely do this because we are not morning people and its just never been a big deal around our house. BUT I want to teach my kids that you need to eat breakfast. Its the most important part of the day when it comes to eating. I never learned this coming up because I just didn't like to eat that early and no one really made a big deal of it which is fine but I see my horriable habit and I want to break it.

I want to insteal one new thing a week. So that is my task for this week is getting up early, praying and making a good meal for my little family.

Next week....well I am gonna have to think on this one. Maybe we can get rid of the junk food in the house...LOL

Well its off to the shower, reading and bed for me. 7 a.m. come mighty early when you are used to sleeping in.

Till next time~Val

Summer where have you gone?

Summer vacation is almost over! Can you believe that? I mean we ( the Christian school my kids go to) don't start back till the day after Labor day. Thats not far off. I have yet to really get any school shopping done. Well maybe for DJ I have but they all still need shoes and supplies.

My Dad and myself have a birthday this month. His is the 3rd and mine is the 16th. I am truly excited about both. Not that we are getting older but we are going out to eat and two awesome places. We are going to White's Seafood for my Dad's. They have king crab legs, steak. You name it! For mine we are going to Kirin. I LOVE Japanese food!!

Now just a few more things I want to chat about. Life. Simply right? NOT! I was just thinking to myself how I spend way to much time behind a computer,phone, ps3,wii, book. Or the worst for me sleeping. I really want to start mangaing my time better. I want to finish reading the Bible, go pray at church more. Play more games with the kids. Do more crafts with them. Actually get up and make hot meals everyday for them for breakfast! Yeah, don't fall out of your chair on that one! I am not a morning person and I can't stand the smell of breakfast foods. I cook eggs, bacon etc for them just not first thing in the morning but I think thats one thing I am gonna start changing. Slowly. I also want to get back in the habit of getting up with David when he gets off for work in the mornings. Maybe even make him breakfast. Who knows. We will see how it goes this week.

I've been praying so hard for God to point us in the right direction. Where to live, build or buy a used mobile home for the time being. So many things are running threw my mind. But tonight at church I saw it clearly. We are going to buy a used mobile home and start slow. I wanted to wait it out here in this house till we build but building could take years at this point in the game. To be honest my mind changes so much with house plans I would be scared to finish something and it not be just want I want. I also thing your taste/style changes when you are older. So my game plan is now 30! I mean I might not want orange everywhere and leopard rugs and lamps. Ha! But who knows. I haven't grown out of it in 27 years!!! LOL

So that was alot of rambling, but it made perfect sense to me :-P
