Spring Break '13!!!

Wahoo....what a week!

WE have been super busy this week.  We had planned weeks ago to go visit some very dear friends in Alabama and go to the zoo.  We have been planning for weeks to see each other and things kept falling through.  So, we finally picked a date and we were going.  Then, it rained.  So, we cancelled the trip - I mean, the zoo isn't any fun if it rains, right?

Well, I get a kick in my step (is that the right phrasing?) Who knows...

I make a list.  It's a big list.  It's a fun list, work list, honey-do list, everything we (I) wanted to accomplish while Kraig is off of work.  I left little room for rest and school work, my bad :(  I am feeling real bad right about now.  Although, he did get to play golf one day and play basketball multiple times.  It's ok.  He's had fun.

Well, Monday rolled around and when we were supposed to be driving to Alabama, we get the word that our friends are coming here!  YAY!!!!  Nothing like a wonderful change of plans.  I was pumped!

So, I get an even bigger kick in my step and put our Spring Break list in to overdrive and we get to work.  The house was a disaster and the spare room needed an overhaul, well, let's be honest, the whole house did.  I also had a few projects I had started and needed to finish.  We started around 11 on Monday and didn't stop until we met our friends on Tuesday for lunch.  We got the majority of my list done on Monday.


I needed Kraig to help hang some family photos....


I finished painting my new storage box for under the T.V.  It also hides some ugly chords that hang under the T.V.  This was such an easy and practically free project.  Thank you Pinterest.


We finished painting my coffee bar area.  Excuse the bottom drawer - it is getting fixed and/or replaced.  



Sorry for the ugly glares from the lamps but this is a finished picture with the painted box (under the bottom shelf).

We also cleaned the whole house and moved furniture around and then we crashed for the night.  

Once our friends came, we were able to enjoy their company.  We also had some other friends in town and we invited everyone over for a taco night.  We had a blast talking old stories and laughing.  I cherish those moments.  I miss my friends from college so much sometimes.  I miss those times.  

On Wednesday, we had a big youth bowling competition.  The girls lost.  That's all I can say about that.  

Thursday and Friday was a blur of family times, running errands, getting stuff ready for a yard sale, more cleaning, golf, basketball, and keeping a teething baby happy.  

Tonight and tomorrow if full of more family and Easter festivities.  :)

Tomorrow though, I hope we can rest a little bit before Kraig goes back to school.  I have so enjoyed him being home this week.  I will surely miss him when school starts back.  

Here are some pics of Rett from this crazy week.... ENJOY...


O we also got a new car last week, Rett and I are playing in the mirrors waiting on Kraig while he test drove the new car.


Rett loved the play place at the mall...


He wasn't sure about the grass at all...right after this he started crying and wouldn't go back down on the grass....he had to stay in my lap (I didn't mind at all) 


Rett and his Gpa at church tonight.  I'm not sure Rett understood the message, we are still talking about it with him.  :)


At dinner, he played peek-a-boo with his Gpa across the table.  


Silly faces

Next week, Rett's Honey is on spring break, so I am sure she will come visit and we may make a new list...maybe a relaxation list from our spring break '13 list....are we tired, or what!?!?  

Hope you all enjoyed your spring break or hope it was very productive like ours.  Either way...we had a lot of fun and got a lot done.  I'm thankful.  I have a good man.

Now, if the weather would cooperate and actually be spring-y....

some praises....

I've started this blog for days now and keep running around in circles of how or what I want to say. Bottom line... God is GOOD.  That's what I keep going back too.  Let's praise Him for a minute.... We have had a great news from our cousins that are battling horrible diseases!  There is still much fight to be had but God is good. We got great news from a friend this morning....their adoption is a GO!  God is good! We have seen God work in our kids lives and our church family in huge ways the past few weeks!  God is good! It's so easy to be in a slump especially with this gloomy weather that we have had.  But God still works.  He works in the small things and even the big things!!!   After the beauty of last week's snow, I found myself loving the parts that were untouched.  I loved looking at everyone's pictures and the beauty of it.  But then...it would get messed up.  People would walk on it, drive throu...

Update...Birthdays, MaryKay and thrift finds

Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday!  It was a great day.  My grandmother came for a visit.  She brought beautiful flowers and some other nice gifts.  Kraig also got me wonderful flowers and box of Gobstoppers.  :)  He still knows the way to my heart ~ a box of Gobstoppers.  He also has set me up with a massage later.  :)  I am real excited about that.  And dinner this weekend, I think.  I don't know but I know he spoils me :)  I love him.  I'm so thankful for all the phone calls and messages yesterday.  It was a truly great day....thanks and this has been the best blessing/birthday gift ever :) Here's my little guy just relaxing.  Rett getting to meet his new buddy, Truett.  Kelly and Julie welcomed their little bundle of joy last Friday evening.  They are going to be close buds, we can tell already.  :) I can't wait to get my hands on this little guy and snuggle him. ...

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...
