Going to bed

I was getting ready for bed and thought I would drop a line to everybody. We enjoyed Saturday night live so much! Definitely been an answer to prayer. We now don't have to sacrifice church! Anyway - I appreciated all the love and hugs from everybody. We truly have missed you. I guess you don't realize how close you have become with people until you haven't seen them for a few weeks. Thanks for praying and uplifting us during the last couple of months. It has been tough. I have another super busy week this week but I least I had today off. I can handle five days a week anytime but six is painful. Just grateful for the business honestly. God said He would bless...I was kind of hoping for the money in the mail, finding money, or money tree. But I will work for it as long as He gives me strength. See you all Saturday!

Cookout

Just got back from a wonderful cookout with our neighbors...David & Marketta. They invited us over and threw some steaks on the grill. We had a nice time just hanging out with friends. It's very late and I have to be at work pretty early tomorrow. I am completely slammed all day long. I will probably have just enough time to run in a few minutes after church starts and get a seat. Coming in work clothes. Jesus always said to come as you are. I wonder if He meant covered in bleach, perm solution, and 22 other peoples dna all over ya. I'm sure He had it in mind too. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Hope and Pray everyone has a wonderful weekend. Happy Easter!!!!!

ambieninsomnia...

Took an Ambien about and hour and ahalf ago. Still awake. Having difficulty typing though. Got a lot on my mind. Jim and I took a leap of faith on some things a few weeks ago and to be honest, I am scared to death. We have always been risk takers and impulsive people but we are older now and so are our children. I would have to say I feel uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I totally know it is a God thing that we were to do but it just makes my knees tremble. I wish I could share more but due to some of the people involved, I can't. Just believe with us that we have made the right decision because there is no way to go backwards on this. I fully believe in a faith walk - just different when it's you. God has never let me down before. We have always been abundantly blessed in very odd and inexplainable ways. I expect nothing less this time either.

We have been working on a remodel in the Salon because we are adding a new stylist. She will make our total of employees 9. We are also adding an extra station to believe God for another booth renter. Kind of under the, "if you build it, they will come", impression. This was my first day off in 2 weeks and it consisted of running to supply stores, lowes, home depot and several other places. We were gone 9 hours today. Thank you God for strength. Tomorrow is another day.

Yummy

Ichiban rocked tonight!!!!!!

Same old same old

Not much to blog about when you do the same thing day in and day out. Just walked in the door. Had a long day at work followed by a much dreaded grocery trip to Wal-mart. I just picked up the kids from church and took home all of the friends. We haven't been to church in a few weeks because of working so much and I feel so blah. Just found out that NVMC is starting a Saturday night service at 5 pm! Now we will be able to go straight after work and get our uplift! Sundays have been so hard because we have been working six days a week. It's also our only day off with the kids. This is an answer to prayer! Been missing everybody...hope to see ya soon!

Gatlinburg

Last night we got home from a nice long weekend trip to Gatlinburg. We were going to leave Friday morning but ended up going Thursday night to beat the snow...it worked. We stayed at Westgate, a nice resort with log cabin style condos. It had a huge indoor water park in which I nearly drowned on a slide. (Pictures coming soon) It was a very well deserved quiet long weekend after all the long hours at work. On my way now to Ratterman funeral home to do a lady who passed away on Saturday. Nothing like right back to work! It's ok - spring break is coming up really soon! That will be a 6 day camping excursion with the whole family. Brother and sister-in-law and three extra kids included. Anyway - hope you all enjoyed the snow while we enjoyed the mountains!

Finally home

Just got home from work...had a six day work week from hell this week! Thank you God for the business but I am exhausted! We met my brother and sister-in-law up the street at the Mexican restaurant. We had five kids with us. (my 2 and their 3) I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Nice to just kick back and relax for a little bit. Had some pretty strange clients this week. I better be good because you never know who is reading! Let's just say it's a good thing I take Ambien at night or I could deal with some nightmares! Anyway - hope everyone has a great weekend!
