My boring blog.

 So I realized today that my blog is getting quite boring, don't get me wrong I'm pretty happy that there's nothing major or earth shattering to blog about but I feel bad for everyone who's reading it, that well it's just quite boring. I know in a few weeks they'll be lots to blog about with the move and everything that goes along with that and I'm sure they'll be some interesting stories of trying to find the post office, the DMV, etc.....Let's just say I don't read directions very well at all and I get lost pretty easily so I'm sure I'll have some great stories.

  I guess I do have something kind of exciting to share, the people that made an offer on the house Saturday morning they are coming to look at the house again tomorrow afternoon. I know that we've counter-offered so hopefully they'll come back with a more acceptable offer. Just say a quick prayer if you think about it, thanks. Hopefully I'll have some good news to share with you all in a couple of days :)

Winery With Friends

  We went to the winery this afternoon with some good friends and we had such a good time. It was good to hang out with them again, we don't really see them that often but it was nice to catch up it's just been to long since we've seen them. They were even nice enough to make dinner for us and let me tell you, it was delicious. I know that Lamar and I are trying to spend time with as many peeps as we can before we leave and hopefully we can squeeze everyone in, gosh I sound like we're so popular ;) Anyway, Lamar and I had a great day today and I'm pretty sure that we'll be finding a winery as soon as we move to Peoria, they're just so much fun :)

  Today was my last day working at Yoder's and let me tell you that I'm pretty excited about it. I've been working there off and on for about 15 years, but I've just been waitressing for the last 8 years, yes 8 years. It's crazy to think that I've been there that long.......wow, I'm just glad to be done there :)

   So we had our open house this morning and the realtor said that it was a pretty good turn-out and there were a few people that seemed pretty interested so YAY. We did actually get a verbal offer but it's too low so now we get to counter offer and do all that fun stuff, but hey at least we got an offer. And honestly it's not to far off from what we need so hopefully we can agree on the perfect price. I'm hoping by the end of next week we'll know a little more of what's going on. I always try to not get my hopes up with something like this but it's so hard not too. I know it'll happen, I just have to be a bit more patient.

Being Thankful.

  This week has been kind of a blah week, the weather has been dreary, I feel like I haven't seen Lamar at all this week, and I've just felt blah so I've decided that I'm going to list some of the things that I'm most thankful for. Maybe that will brighten my week ;)
1. My husband and kids, even though they drive me crazy sometimes I don't know what I'd do without them.
2. My family, I have a crazy family but I still love them to pieces.
3. I have a wonderful group of friends, sometimes I feel like I don't get to see them enough but I know that they'll always be there for me.
4. I'm incredibly thankful for Lamar's job and that he was able to transfer with the move, God definitely blessed us with Lamar being able to do that.
5. I LOVE my new house and I can't wait to get in and start decorating.
6. I'm thankful for my wonderful church, I don't know where I would be without it.
7. I'm thankful that I have a forgiving God and that He loves me no matter what.
8.I love, love, love my panic group and I will miss them so much. I'm not sure if I can stand to teach another couple the game of panic.
9. I love all the blessings God has given to us, even though none of us deserve it but yet, He continues to bless us everyday :)
10. DIET COKE, enough said :) :) :)
11. The Real Housewives of Arthur, I'll miss you ladies when we move.
  I know I have so many more things that I'm thankful for that I didn't list but honestly, this did make me feel much better.

Desparate for warm weather

  Ok I am so ready for spring/summer that I'm about to go crazy and I know that my kids are about to go crazy too, along with DRIVING me crazy. There's just a whole lot of crazy right now. They have so much pent up energy it's crazy, Peyton has actually been going outside a lot more at school so that's helped a little bit but Lauren, wow, I don't know what to say she's just a huge ball of energy. She makes me tired just watching her. They're either playing really good together or they're just fighting non-stop. Warm weather please get here quickly, plus when it's warmer I can run outside instead of on the treadmill.....woohoo!

  So do you ever have those feelings that you just feel like your getting left out of something? For some reason I've been feeling like that a lot lately and I don't like it and I know it sounds childish too. I kind of feel like I'm not as close with some of my friends that I used to be and that makes me really sad. Maybe it's just God's way of preparing me to move because I won't be able to just call up someone and say hey do you want to meet for lunch in an hour, I'm not going to have these people "at my fingertips" I know I'll make new friends but it's hard to leave these friends behind, I just hope they all know how much I'll miss them.

 Today I did some more packing and I kind of feel like I'm getting somewhere, although I would have liked to be way further ahead with the packing then what I am, but it's all good I know I'll get it all done. Plus if I don't I'm calling in some recruits ;) We also have the open house this weekend so I didn't want to pack to much stuff up because I don't want all the boxes laying around. I'm praying that something good will come out of this open house, I know it's all in God's hands and I can't worry about it all I can do is just continue to pray about it.

Today I had bible study and it was so good, it was exactly what I needed to hear. I love how God works that way, when it comes to bible study, church, or whatever It's usually something that you need to hear. I'm really struggling with the fact that we haven't sold our house yet but I was reminded this morning that God does hear all of our prayers but It's always on His time. I've always known that but sometimes it's just a great reminder. So thanks Beth Moore for the great reminder, I needed that today :)
