Pinch Me
Long time no post... I'm pretty horrible about posting now but since I have my columns as an outlet, I haven't really remembered to post. I haven't forgotten my blog though, it's where I began writing out my thoughts and sometimes it's so neat to look back.
Life has taken so many crazy turns. God is so good. My column was nationally syndicated and now I have the opportunity to plant seeds for God weekly in newspapers across the US. There is no way in the world that a girl from no where Louisiana could accomplish this... it's all God.
Dave is wonderful as usual. I cant get over how amazing...

Yeah It's Good
I guess since I write my column now, I have less to say... that's not a bad thing... I bet Dave gives thanks for that everyday. But things are really good. For years I prayed for simple and good... and I'm learning that contentment is a real thing. It's beautiful actually. I still need to lose 30 lbs but yeah I'm not giving that much though, I have a strawberry gf cake in the fridge... screw that 30 lbs... My job is amazing and I really love it... I just took a long weekend to go see Prin graduate from that CNA/Home Health Aide program with her state certified license... and she was class president....

Status
Life is pretty amazing. I just have to shake my head whenever I think about how my plans go awry whenever I just give God the reins. We had big plans and yet when we realized that God might have other plans… we took a huge big breath and just said Ok Lord. And it really just blows me away.
Never expected to be living back in North Dakota… yet here we are. Life is really simple and I love it. I spend more time on the phone with my oldest back home than I have ever spent on the phone but other than that…. It’s working. God really knows his stuff.
So the kid is rocking along down in OK. She’s...

Happy Easter
Life is really good. I need to switch that up… God is good. We have survived the decision to leave my oldest, Princess in Oklahoma to finish up her nursing program. It was easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done. True, we have her the very best roommates in the world… my parents… but dang it’s the hardest thing in the world to let my 17 year old really work outside the box.
So my dearest oldest is marching to the beat of her own drum… and it’s working thanks to the grace of God. It’s scary to let your kid think outside the box and then act on it… and fund it lol.
So we just had a great family...

I'm Taking Opinions now....
Dave always reminds me... "Wanta see God laugh, make a plan..." it was a great plan. We were picking up our family and starting to move to our forever home in Oklahoma. We bought it a couple of years ago on the quiet... it was our retirement plan. It's not lake front but it's lake view and it's in a great community where it will increase in value over the years.... it was a great plan.
The kids and I moved here this past summer. His family was thrilled to have us 20 minutes away and my mom immediately transferred to a local store and found a rental log cabin 12 miles away. For the last six months...

I sat down and successfully removed the screen and then replaced it! woohooo.... awesome sauce. It's the little things .......

Nerves, the Nerves
Argh tomorrow I have my first technical interview. Ouch... This will be the first time I interview having my masters and using my masters. I'm freaking nervous! So I'm going to print out all of my paperwork then I'm going to set out my interview outfit of choice... and as a woman, holy crap can we address the problem of what to freaking wear............. and then I'm gonna shave my legs cause nothing makes a girl feel powerful like having smooth legs... right?
I feel like my bowels are turning to liquid at the thought of tomorrow.... but I wanted to lose weight anyway.
Pray for me.............

Prayer Me Peeps
As I sit here watching Max, the Vizsla who stole my heart, clean his boy parts for the 70th time today.... I realize that this time tomorrow he and Dave will be gone. Back on the road to North Dakota and the oil field. We are so blessed to have a situation where Dave and Max can come home one week a month but it's hard to not get greedy. Urgh.
Now that we are really settling into life here at the Lake, I'm turning my eye to job hunting. Lift me in prayers please... I would really like to have a position somewhere God wants me to be....

By the Rules
We spent the holiday chilling and spending family time.... along with some family games. Andddd no body wants to play with me... Apparently I'm a difficult person when it comes to games. I adhere to the rules and I enforce the rules... as well as require those playing to do so as well. Does that make me wrong?
Apparently it does. No body likes it when you won't let them deviate from the rules of Scrabble... is there a happy medium between being right and being popular... I really don't think it is.
Is that a personality flaw....? I am flawed because I have a compulsion to adhere to the rules?
Food...

The juggle
Homeschooling is def not for the faint of heart. While I'm prepping for resume and applying for jobs, I'm also working to continue prepping Madz for finishing her junior year. She's almost done with American History and it is cool to see her kick it's butt. Now we are pausing to jump into to Kill a Mockingbird for the holiday season... After that we will get back knee deep into chemistry. I'm lucky because she has an amazing homeschool curriculum online that really makes it easy for me to watch and supervise rather than led the process of teaching her. I am adding a writing program because I think...

Dang Saturday, you rocked
My man got him a sweet one in Montana today. Hello jerky!!!The girls and I spent time attempting to get a handle on the leaves. Fall has fallen... All up in my yard. Molded pumpkins don't burn so well and this poorly made fire pit that previous owners built is useless lol. Time to raze it and put in a big ole swing. After hours spent chasing us around the yard, my little man was wore out... Foot surgery next month looks like I get my Myrphy man back and Max will go on the road with...
