Happy Thanksgiving


I am so thankful today for my husband, children and my grand kids! They are the light of my life. I am thankful that God sent His Son Jesus to pay the price for my sins. I am thankful for God's grace, that no matter how I struggle with things in life, He is faithful to love me and forgive. I want nothing more in life than to be faithful to Him and that others will know the peace that comes from giving their lives to Him. He wants so much more for us and I know that I should be more faithful than I am. I want to be a reflection of HIS love.

Happy Friday! I am really looking forward to 4 days off!!! I have so much that I need to get done! Two day weekends just don't cut it sometimes! I am taking an extra day off with the holiday! Work just gets in the way of our real life sometimes!! But then again, if we didn't have our jobs then our real life wouldn't be as fun!!!! It's all about perspective!!

Moving Already!!!


Anyone that knows me, knows that I love to rearrange at home and at work. I don't like things staying the same all the time. I have been at my new job almost 2 months and today I moved to a new spot! They had a place made just for me outside my bosses office. It's great except it's a bit lonely! I miss the people I was around. This place is so boring with no one to talk to. I come and go a lot, so it's all good, but i do miss the interaction with others while you are working. Sam took my old desk so she was happy to get a desk with a computer instead of moving from desk to desk with her box of stuff. We are still in the same office until she gets her clearance completed. I am loving that and will enjoy that while I can.

Job opportunities!

Wow, I have been at my new job for 7, almost 8 weeks and last Friday I had an interview for another promotion! I think he already has someone else picked for the position, but it was good that I was able to get an interview. I will see what happens. It would be hard to leave the great group of people that I am with, but you have to do what you need to do! A good friend of mine told me about the job and she said that it is a really great group of people there and she put in a very good word for me and the secretary really wants me to get the position. I will have to see what happens.
Larry also has an opportunity for a new position as well!!! I would love to see him get this spot! It would be easier on his body as the job he has now is really tough!

My precious Riley


Friday night my little 5 year old grandson Riley (who is diabetic) had a really horrible seizure. He stopped breathing and turned blue. They had to revive him. How frightning! They were able to give him the emergency shot of insulin and got him to the hospital. We went to see him on Sunday and we played and hugged a lot. I didn't want to let him go. He is such a love and is so funny. I am so thankful that God protected him and we didn't loose him. How sad that would be. I can't even begin to think about what it would be like with out him or what my daughter and family would go through loosing him. Angela and her husband Tory and really having a hard time dealing with the trauma. We just keep praying that God will bring healing to this precious little guy and that he will not have to have this disease any more.

So to all mothers out there... hug your children and thank God for every moment that you have with them even if they are all grown up...... you never know how long you have them.

Fall Camping Trip

Last weekend was so beautiful out and my brother and I went on a camp out with our little Teardrop Trailers! We went to Port Townsend. It was so beautiful with all the fall leaves. I will be posting pictures soon on this post later. We met a lady while we were registering for camping that has a 1946 Teardrop that her boyfriend of 11 years was restoring. He died suddenly of a heart attack before finishing it. What is is more sad is that his brother was working on it with him and he also died shortly after that. This lady wants to sell it to someone who will keep his dream alive.
We took lots of pictures and climbed all over in the bunkers. It is an old military base where we camped. Good times with my brother. LarBear was home with a hurt back. What a good wife I was, just leave him home in pain and go out and play!! (He was OK with it as long as he didn't have to go camping!)
We have now emptied out the trailer and put it in the garage for the winter so LarBear is safe now and knows that I won't be wanting to take it out during the winter!!!
