A Quote from Cricuit Chirp

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."



~ Leo F. Buscaglia

Becoming More

I started a new book study last night, Becoming More than a Good Bible Study Girl by Lysa Terkeurst.
She also has a Website, Blog, Journal , so I will checking that out as well.  Not sure how I feel about it yet, I have done so many Beth Moore studies and you always know those are going to be fantastic.  I also am with a group of woman where I only know one of them, so it will be a new experience for me.  We started at 7 and before I knew it, it was 9.  I learned a few things, which is always a good thing.

• Replace doubt, regret, and envy with truth, confidence and praise.
• Discover how to have inner peace and security in any situation
• Sense God responding to your prayers
• Stop the unhealthy cycles of striving and truly learn to love who you are and what you’ve been given.
• Learn how to make a Bible passage come alive in your own devotion time.

When I got home I was too wired up to sleep so I ended up staying up until after 10 watching Top Chef All Stars.  Carla is my favorite, but she disappointed me, though I can't blame her I would have lost track of time in a free for all at Target myself.  Of course I fell asleep before the elimination.
Here is what I found out this am.........  Angelo, please pack your knives and go...Yeah my girls squeaks by!

I hope your week has been a good one......

Almost a Month

That's how long it has been since I last posted.  My how time flies.  It snowed again last night, just about 1/2 inch.  Enough to send everything into a turmoil.  I am so ready for spring, I can almost hear the grass screaming to get out of the ground.

Since last month I have been busy with getting Mark ready for graduation in June:  Making Lists, Ordering Announcements, ordering pictures, ordering ordering ordering....that equals $$$$$.
I cannot believe my baby boy is graduating.  Heck I can't believe it has been 28 years since I graduated!
Well, 28 years, one husband, two kids, two dogs, three cars and a mortgage later, it's time for my baby to graduate and start his own life and career.  He has made academic honor roll all year and worked his tail off at Subway.  He is such a fantastic young man with a million and one ideas on what he wants to do with his life.  He will figure it out, just like we all did at that age.

Samantha continues to try and drive me bonkers with her craziness, no one told me girls were like this, I would have opted for two boys!  LOL  Just kidding..............
We have gotten her signed up for softball, but at this point we don't have enough for a team, so we shall see what happens with that.  She is already preparing for her 11th birthday party, which by the way is in June.
She does OK with her school work, but has really been working on reading everyday and her math skills are improving.

Mitch is doing good, They have moved him once again to the Va. Beach store.  Seems like he should be wearing a fireman's hat, they are always sending him to the problem stores to fix what ever might be going on.

I think he is ready for the warm weather as much as I am.  We miss sitting outside on beautiful warm nights.

I actually manged to get together with a group of friends last Saturday.  I worked on some cards and  Deb and I shared cricut carts. and just played cutting out different things and just experimenting.  I have been visiting a new church for about 3 months celebration christian church and have really enjoyed it.  I have a few friends there so it helps a bit with the transition, not sure if it's my new home yet.  Time and God will tell.

I am working on some craft stuff.  Hope to get that posted soon. 

Happy Thursday almost Friday!
