Life is just flying by. I knew I hadn't posted in some time, but didn't realize it was way back on New Year's Day. I started a job the next day, and life just got away from me! However, it was short lived, so I have a little time now while I'm job hunting, so a blogging I will go!
So, what's happened in the last couple of months? We're going to be grandparents in August. We are so very excited. Joel and Robin got pregnant again, and this time things have been going along smoothly. Bless the Lord. I can't wait to meet "my baby" as I call him/her. But I'm already thinking about how hard it will be to have so many miles between us!
As I hinted above, I had a job, but now I don't. It wasn't meant to be - they were busy at first, but then the economy took it's bite and my hours became less and less, and then there were none. Oh well. It was not my dream job, but since we need the income right now, I am job hunting again. Hopefully something will open up soon, and it will be the right thing for me. I am trusting the Lord to provide for us as he always does.
Otherwise, life is good. I turned 51 this month, so I'm officially OVER 50! Whatever! I feel and look better than I did at 40, so no complaints there. I'm find it funny that at 51 I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna be when I grow up. I hope I always keep growing and changing and that life never becomes old and stale.
So, I'll stay on this roller coaster ride, and love every minute of it. Hope you have more ups than downs in your journey, but remember that each part of the ride brings a different thrill.
Enjoy the ride!

Happy New Year
Well it's 2009 and it's gonna be fine! I know I haven't blogged since late October, but I have no real excuse. Just nothing of great importance to share I guess!
It's the beginning of another year and I am very curious to see where this year leads us. It's amazing how fast the years go by now. We saw some changes this year, Louie became our church administrator, I sold lots of soap, Josh is almost as tall as me and his voice is changing. We thought we were going to be grandparents, but Joel and Robin's first pregnancy ended at 6 weeks. Ups and downs, always. Life is like a see-saw.
I feel like 2009 will be a year with many forks in the road. Where would God have us? What should we be doing jobwise? Should we continue to homeschool, or is it time to give public school a shot? Ultimately we just have to seek God's face, and in doing so, we will never miss his will. Forks in the road don't scare me too much...I just wonder which direction will lead to the biggest blessing and best service to the Lord. I don't know that he is so all concerned with exactly what we do for living, just that we seek him in all we do.
I admit that I would like to see the Lord bless us financially this year. My goal is to be out of debt and in line for expanding my soap business. I like to listen to Dave Ramsey, and we're going to try to follow his baby steps this year - setting up an emergency fund, starting the debt payoff snowball, expanding the emergency fund, putting away for retirement, saving for Josh's college, being able to give. Ok, it's in writing - let's see what the year can bring!
I wish all of you a wonderful and prosperous new year. May you be both blessed and a blessing!
