i.cant.wait

so in February of 2009, our home will be ready! i am so excited. since our mortgage company doesn't want to comply with our contract we are moving. we have contacted mobile home companies in our area, and cant wait till our house is done. we have talked and talked out our plans for our new house. so here are a few floor plans we are in love with.

3 bedroom/2bath 1456 sq.ft

4 bedroom/3bath 1786 sq ft.

4 bedroom/3 bath 2100 sq. ft.

I love all 3 for different reasons. But i think that house plan #2 is best for us, its 4 bedroom, and the rooms are bigger than #3, but it has a retreat! lol, think i like house #2 the best for us!

they.are.leaving.me

so tomorrow school starts. i am a little sad and happy at the same time. i am sad bcuz i would love for them to stay home with me. and i am happy bcuz they are both going into something new. brandon is going to be in high school and i am so happy and proud of him, he will be in all pre-ap classes. he is also in tennis and band. so i cant wait for what is in store for him this year! kasen in going to be in 1st grade and there is alot that happens in first grade. alt of fun things and alot of learning experiences. he will actually have ::real:: homework. lol but i will be there to help. i am just glad that school is here all together, my schedule is always messed up in the summer, and now it Will be on track again. good luck to anyone that has children in school. remember God is love.

the.kindness.of.others

i know the old saying :do unto others as they do to you: well this very sweet person i am talking about is buying my kids some more school clothes. i couldn't afford allot, i bought shoes, school supplies and a couple pairs of pants each.

::the reason i couldn't afford these things::

our mortgage company has added 200.00 dollars to our house payment, plus 18% a month. and they gave me NO notice, so it was due yesterday. so me and a good friend of mine have had garage sales the past 2 weekends. and we didn't do too bad, she made 100.00 dollars total and i made 60.00 dollars total. anyway that has to go towards the damn house payment. but there is an angel out there that is kind enough to get me the rest of what i need before Monday. i feel bad that i couldn't do it, but sometimes we all have bad times.

::the garage sale::

so me and my good friend had a garage sale the past 2 weekends, last week it rained for 3 days straight. but we made OK money. this weekend we made more. but i don't get to go "hang out" with the girls allot, so this was nice, we laughed till we cried, and i say we became closer as friends. our kids and husbands weren't there, and it was nice to just be an adult.

::the rest of the day::

today we are getting everything ready for school, names on supplies, paper in the folders, and things of that nature. putting new sheets on beds, and getting into the groove of school. I CANT WAIT! i know that sounds bad, but really, i cant wait. and i am washing ALL my laundry, and ironing the kids clothes. anyhoo, hope everyone has a great weekend, and if your kids start school soon, hurray.

i.heart.my.boys

here is a great video i made from this summer::my.boys::

my baby is going to be in first grade

i am so excited , yet so sad that my baby is growing up so fast! i remember when he was first born and he was right there always needing me and wanting me to hold him. now he wants to do everything himself and needs me in different ways. i taught him what i could then had to let go so he could grow. he will be 7 next month and is growing so fast and beautifully, it makes me feel like i did something right! I love you Kasen, with all my heart!

::my handsome prince::

think about this

If I happened to show up on your door step crying, Would you Care? If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something Happened, Would you come? I had one day left, to live my life; Would you be part of That last day? If I needed a shoulder to cry on, Would you give me Yours? Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes? They blink together, they move together, they cry together, They see things together and they sleep together, BUT THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER... that's what friendship is.. Your aspiration is your motivation, your motivation is your belief, Your belief is your peace, your peace is your target, Your target is heaven, and life is like hell without FRIENDS. Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over mymouth...AMEN..!!

kind of a sad day for me :(

i wont dwell on my ::bad:: day too long. but i got a call from our mortgage company saying that they are upping my payment 200.00 dollars more, plus 18.0% added every month. i was blown away. i hate my house and i hate my mortgage company too. then a couple of hours later, half of my town's power goes out for like 3 hours. ::extremely hot:: so i cooked dinner late, and everything was really behind schedule. but we went swimming to cool down. hope that everyone else had a better day than i. God bless!
