What to do when you can't "nest"???

Hmmm...that's a hard question to answer.  Well, since we are in the process of buying a house, we have put off  procrastinated putting Rett's room together.

Some of that is strictly procrastination on my part (I'll admit) because I HATE making decisions and I don't know what to do with his room.  However, since the impending house purchase is upon us, I decided to wait until we moved to put his room together anyways...PERFECT TIMING, RIGHT!!  :)

So, what do I do when I want to nest, clean and organize and have no where to do it?!
                 
  • I organize all of Rett's clothes.
  •  I have packed parts of the house.  (We haven't even closed on the house and I pretty much have 40% of the house packed up)  It's in piles and boxes all around the house.  We have a maze from our front door to the kitchen.  :)  
  • I clean the kitchen a lot, well....that's a lie.  I want to clean the kitchen a lot but I don't always do it.  So, I think about cleaning the kitchen A LOT.
  • I have started organizing other areas of our lives since I can't organize a new house. For instance, I made a brand new budget, made a 2 week menu, went to the grocery store and for the most part cooked most of the week.  Hence, why my kitchen is dirty and I don't want to clean it.  
  •  I take naps.
  •  I know I am carrying a little human in my belly but it doesn't make me feel better about the weight gain....call me shallow - but I am convinced that, especially, every pregnant woman experiences this - so I have started walking more than months previous. Maybe it will help Rett come sooner :)  One can only hope.
  •  I over think things.  And probably have started to stress to much but the walking helps.
  •  O and I pinterest like crazy!  This one is probably my favorite thing to do.  I pretend NEST.


Hopefully, in the next week, fingers crossed, we will close on the house,  begin our renovations and move in before the end of the month or PLEASE PLEASE before Rett gets here.  And since we have had to wait on all my nesting, I will probably be nesting all summer long with a new house and new baby especially since the in-laws get to come visit at the end of the summer!!  Can't wait to see them.  It has been too long.

I will try to find more things to organize probably before we are finally moved...or I will at least try.  Or maybe I will just try to stay on top of the laundry and the dishes and call it a night.

Good night all.  :)

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...

Well - in DUE time all news will come out

I don't even know where to begin... I guess the most recent news would be that we are going to have a surprise visit from the stork in June and it's a BOY! I am sure I will update more later because it being a surprise has come many other surprises that we have had to work through so that is all DUE time. :) Also, I think last I wrote, my dad was being shipped off to Kuwait. Well, he's back and working in Nashville as the Senior Enlisted Leader for the state of Tennessee. He's pretty important. We are so very proud of him. He does his job well. We are trying to buy a house. That's another big thing going on in our lives. Mainly because we have a new addition and we need to be more stablized. Maybe so, maybe not...but we feel like this is the next move that we should make. Now, if only we could find a house :) In DUE time again, I'm sure the Lord will place the perfect house in front of us. So, PLEASE, PLEASE pray we can find something suitable for u...

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...
