It's been a while now...

I have been pretty busy and everything going on in the past few weeks has made me not want to get online to do any extra typing. I apologise if there are any faithful readers out there. I am settling into my new routine. Hettie and I have been through a lot of stress lately. The stresses remind us of some military stresses we had a couple years ago. Our world is changing and we need some time to catch up. It is hard for both of us to be spending this time apart and learning two new jobs. We are just thankful that we have jobs right now. Our trip is coming up on Tuesday this week. We are so excited we can hardly think of what we need to pack. We did get a hold on a suitcase that should haul all of Hettie's things and not get us extra charges. I can't wait to start our vacation. I need a little break now. Too much typing. Talk to you later.

Many Blessings

We are going through a big transition right now. Any of you who read Hettie's blog can see that there are quite a few things on our plates. It is a very exciting time for us, and we can't get enough of it. We know that everything has come to us this way because God has wanted it that way. Just changes dealing with the house, job, school, are all coming in rapid succession. This is something that we have been praying for, so now, we get to do it. As long as Hettie and I keep our support for each other, we can't go wrong.

How about them Cubbies!!

Those of you who know me, already know my love for the Cubs. I am following their season just as much as any other season before. This year is the one. Only 100 years since our last World Series win. But for those of you who didn't know, the last time the Cubs had the best record at the beginning of June was 1908. Coincidence? I think not. This morning I had to wake up to see the score. It sucks when they play on the other side of the country. The game in San Diego started at 2200. I can't stay up for that. Even with big Z batting .366. This was their eighth straight, and I am just as pumped as always. Best in the League!! Go Cubs!

Talk a lot and Brewndoggies!!

What could we do with our time, I think a good idea would be to start coming up with strange and delicious hot dog ideas. I think that will be our little fantasy idea for a hot dog shop. Fun to plan and see what comes. I think we get so many ideas, that we don't really know which way to focus our efforts. I am happy with our little pet sitting venture right now. It is good to watch animals for our friends and family. I think that if we could we would have a big shop in the beach area, watching animals, with a childrens nursery there, and a hot dog shop in front. It could happen. Who knows, we may be on to the next big franchise.

Coming up on a new weekend.

I am sorry that I have been away for a little while. This week has been really good for us for getting things done and spending time. Still no word on the house. This morning we will be going to Hettie's appointment. I'm a little worried, and I just want everything to go smoothly. Hettie's going to be great. I am her support system and I need to be supportive. After we finish with that, I'm getting some help from John to remove some countertop items in the Kitchen. We will then replace the countertop!!! Hooray for new counters. No more ugly white ones. I can finally get the Kitchen done. We are done with the front entryway, living room, Den, Dining room, Bathroom, Bedroom, now we need the family room, hallway, and master. So close. Also, as soon as that is done, we'll do finishing touches with base moulding. That will be the final touch, but I think the rooms are pretty much done other than that.

This is Memorial day weekend. I think it is one of the most important military holidays. Be sure to fly your flag, and rember those who are not able to come home to their families either by deployment or worse. Since I am a biased member of post 2550 of the VFW, please find a donation area, and get yourself a buddy poppy. You'll be helping out all those vets who are struggling.

It is time to pray for this weekend, I hope this is a safe travel weekend for all. Take care

BG HOORAY!!

We got to go to Busch Gardens again. We have the passport and fun pass, so we can go for free any time we want. This was the first trip for us since our anniversary. Lots of fun. It seems to me that we had a great time and went on the perfect day. It was overcast, so not too hot. It was threatening rain, so fewer people showed up to the park. None of the rides were closed down, except for the part of Jungala without orangutans. We didn't have to wait in lines for more than 15 minutes. For a major theme park, that is awesome. Especially with their rides.

We had fun at church yesterday. No nursery this week. We need to go hang out with Justin and Autumn, there should be time this week. I am ready to get the bedroom done with all the wood. I need to get some things prepped first. Just a little bit of plastic and we're ready to go. If Hettie has a little bit of time, we'll just hang out here. I'm still on a little high from this weekend. We had a blast. A lot of the things we have done lately, cost us very little. We are trying to determine the best way to go with our new housing dilemma. I know it is just for us to pray about and we can only wait to see if there are other options coming soon. We may have to wait till June 5th, or we may find out something sooner. Time to just put our trust in him and see what comes our way.

Marriage

I have no idea what to write today. We had some fun the past few days; went to Dunedin causeway with the dogs. Played a little bit of gin, and generally hung out while grilling, cleaning, and flooring. Yesterday and today, we are painting the closet. Then I can lay the floor in the bedroom. Terazzo does not look good in there. The wood looks great though.

We had an awesome marriage class last night. Some people mentioned things that would be very private and I felt a lot of sympathy for their situation. This was supposed to be a game. It turned out well though. We all have fun at the meetings, and we get to grow more together as couples. I think we are starting to form more friendships within the church. It's strange, we are the only couple there at our age without children. They'll just have to wait. That means you Faithlynn. She's asking us again last night if we are "working on babies". So many silly geese working this church.

Time to finish my fume laden closet. I'll be back sooner next time.
