Uneventfulness...

This week has been pretty uneventful. I think I like it like that. :) We had Monday off to celebrate our Presidents. It was a great day. Kraig and I cleaned the house really well and just marked stuff off of my "to-do" list. It was nice to feel accomplished. We still have a lot left but it was nice to say that we did some things and not let the day get away from us.

We had Bible Study Tuesday with a great group of friends. We have started a new book called The Life of God in the Soul of Man by Henry Scougal. He's an old dead guy so it should be good and hard to understand. We will see how this goes.

Then it was smooth sailing through the rest of the week. We filed our taxes and this is the first year that we will be getting MONEY back! Praise the Lord ~ we so badly want to pay off the truck so now we are just a little bit closer to that goal. :)

Today, we had to chance to go visit some dear friends. We decided to meet half way which landed us in Scottsboro, AL. Now, if you have never been there, there is nothing there. You might even miss it if you don't know what to look for. Well, we dined at the good ol' Ruby Tuesday's and then I remembered there is something of worth in Scottsboro, AL! The Unclaimed Baggage! I think it's the biggest or something...it's famous. So, we moseyed on over to downtown Scottsboro and found our way through this big store. It was great. :) I was in heaven. Kraig and I have rarely shopped for ourselves in the last year just because it wasn't in the budget, we ended up with 10 shirts between the 2 of us, I got a dress also all for $100. Some of the button up's Kraig picked out were brand new also. One was a Calvin Klein and we got it for $10. So, it was worth it to us to get some "new to us" clothes that we didn't have to break the bank for. I also have been searching for all of the Harry Potter books to start my collection...I found the 2nd one for $1.00 :) I was one happy gal just for that purchase alone. So, all in all...we had a great time with friends and their precious baby girl and shopped til we dropped at the Unclaimed Baggage.

This week might be more eventful - we have a baby appointment! I am pretty excited about hearing the heartbeat. :)

Hope you all have had a great week.

goodness...will it ever stop?!

Without further adieu.... Kraig and I have been called to a little church out in the valley to serve as youth pastor (and wifey). What a drastic change this will be!?! But a blessing that I never saw coming :) Kraig has been struggling off and on for about a year now about youth ministry and his (our) role with youth. He knew he loved teaching at OCA and we both loved serving the youth at Oakwood. Kraig just wasn't sure if there was more to his struggle than just teaching and just serving at the capacity that we were in. So, with lots of prayer and searching the scripture, Kraig knew that we were supposed to do something more. Well, that was that. We didn't pursue anything, we had a lot going on at our church and we were just getting into the swing of things and really enjoying our youth. About January...I guess... L O N G S T O R Y short ....Kraig got a call from a pastor that I have known probably as long as I have been in the Chickamauga area...and Kraig met thr...

Funeral, house, and thoughts

Now that I have had a few days to re coop and process the last few weeks and months...I can share some of the thoughts that have crossed my mind in the midst of it all and some of the lessons that I learned from family and Gran the past few weeks. I love my family.  All of them.  My Gran had 8 kids, they had 21 grand kids and now we are working on 20 great grand kids (I hope my numbers are right).  We have a huge family.  We are all different, come from different walks of life now but as my Aunt Dodie said at the funeral, Gran has taught us to love each other and not let strife come between us.  I think we do a pretty good job of loving each other.  I loved getting to sit with my aunts and uncles many nights that we were at Gran's and listen to stories of their childhoods and about their parents.  It was a great time.  We had a very unique few weeks especially leading up to my Gran's death.  Not many people can say that they got to say goo...
