VBS, homework, job hunts

This is the summer of lots of reading for my Master's, taking the girls to VBS at many churches, and looking for a job in Oregon. Busy, busy, busy. Not busy enough for the girls. They wish we were doing more. Jamie wishes I didn't have homework, but I'm almost done. Next summer I shouldn't have any classes, hopefully, unless I have to take something for the state of Oregon.

This week Jamie and Faith are going to VBS at Meridian First Baptist. It is called a Passport to the Promise Land. Faith had a ball this morning. She didn't really want to go, so that is a good sign. :)

The job hunt is still on going. I don't have my Oregon Teaching Certificate yet, so most people won't even look at me. Oh well, hopefully I'll still get a job next fall.

VBS Week!

The girls are at Church this week for VBS! Too bad there isn't better weather. I feel a little bit guilty not helping out, but then I think of all of the homework I have to do for school this week and I don't feel so guilty! I have a lot to do!

The girls will have fun, and I'll get some work done. It's a win, win situation! :)

No Three Bs today

The sky was dark, dark, dark. So we just did breakfast. We'll do books tomorrow to make up for it. The girls are playing school, so they are getting their books that way. They did "Fun Friday" today and watched movies. hehe! Apparently Faith is a "bad student" and Jamie has had to write her up. (rolleyes) KIDS!

Since we've been home...

Wow! Since we've been home I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to call anyone, except for my bff Kristi. I've done homework, two weeks worth in one week. I weeded the front flower bed which was full of weeds and grass. I then put down weed blocker and mulch. I have unpacked about 1/2 of my things. Not all of it yet. I am working from the curb, to the downstairs to the rooms upstairs. I want to have company over eventually.

The girls and I saw "Up" today. It is a good movie. We'll have to buy it when it comes out on DVD. The girls loved it, especially the talking dogs. They thought that was hilarious.

We started the three Bs today: Breakfast, Biking and Books. Books includes Jamie working on her piano, and Faith and I working on reading. That way we get the exercise, reading and piano done in the morning before we get on with our summer relaxing. :)

Home sweet home!

We are home! It is so good to be home. :) I had to get re-acclimated to my house. Now we're unpacking and getting settled. The girls are playing with all of their toys like Christmas morning. Too cute!

It felt good to sleep in my room last night, but a little lonely. We're almost in the 40s for how many days until Joe gets home. In the mean time, I have a lot of homework, housework, reading to do with Faith, and yard work to keep me busy, busy, busy until Joe gets home. :)

I made it, but some of my stuff didn't

I made it out of Phoenix! We are currently in Vegas. Not a long drive today. Tomorrow will be longer. Then we stop in Twin Falls, Idaho. Joe is worried that I will get too tired to make it all the way to Boise. Fine by me. It was really hard to stay awake just driving from Phoenix to Vegas.

I made it! But some of my stuff didn't. After living a year in Phoenix, inspite of losing my doggie and her huge crate, some of my stuff had to stay in Phoenix! YIKES! I left behind about 8 bankers boxes and a few other odds and ends. That will easily fit in the van when we come back at Thanksgiving to get it. I was so determined to get it all in there. But darnit... I would need a conversion van to get it all home.

I'm so excited to see all of my friends in Boise. I miss them dearly!
