Well, hello again!
It has been one full week without facebook - aaaahhhhh, so peaceful! I miss seeing some of the pictures and hope that I haven't missed anything relevant or horribly important, but it's been so nice to not feel tied to the computer.
I still have my smartphone, but that will be gone within the next week or so. It has been kinda handy to still have internet, but at the same time, I don't feel a need for it without facebook.
In the last week, Michael completed a week of training with UPS for his seasonal job. From the outside looking in, they sure put A LOT of work and money into people they're going to ditch in 2 months.... I would think there should be a more cost effective way to make this happen. Either way, I hope that he likes it & does well at it, because they said they will be looking to do "call backs" in a few months. It seems to have really helped to put a 'lil pep in his step to have something to do during the day & to be "contributing". That's the part that makes me happy :)
Laura went to Pre School for her first 2 days ever. She absolutely loved it! On Tuesday, they discussed forgiveness and they let her bring home her craft, even though everyone else had theirs hanging on the wall. On Thursday, they called me to tell me that her tummy hurt. It turned out to be nothing, but it still made me sad that I was not with her when she didn't feel good. She has already told me that she's excited to go back this week!! There are not words for how blessed I feel with this little girl. She is so wonderful! On the first day, she took off to play with someone before hugging or kissing me, which made me sad, but at the same time, let me know that she would be just fine. On the second day, we stopped outside the classroom for the hug & kiss part so that she couldn't run without one :) Everyone at the school asks how many times she's been left with strangers like that, because they figure she must have been in order to be that well adjusted. I tell them no, it's just God's way of telling me that this will be ok, even though it wasn't what I had planned for her.
I had another week of working at a company that blesses me abundantly. First, they gave me an opportunity to make money in the first place & when Michael's income went away, they allowed me to be full time so that I could help fill the gap. Then, we were surprised on Monday with a half day, a great lunch, a tour of the new building we'll be moving to and a bonus, just to tell us thanks for the work we do. The new office is gorgeous & I can't wait until it's finished. I will have my own office, which is something that I have very much needed, but we just don't fit where we are currently located. The new office is a little bit further from home, but it is totally worth it!
We are still prepping for our Short Sale to conclude - whenever that may be. We don't yet know where we are going, but we know that we are going much more simple. We just plain have too much STUFF.
We will be having a HUGE yard sale this weekend, November 11, 12 & 13 from 6am-noon (or however long the buyers keep coming). This will be a big step in helping us to get where we need to be as far as packing and purging. If you have anything that you'd like to bring by or would like to hang out, welcome all. Tell your friends and of course, feel free to shop, shop and shop some more in order to help us ditch a few unneeded things around here. There will be baby stuff, clothes (adult & 'lil girl), kitchen table & 4 chairs, couch, loveseat, rocker/recliner, books (for adults & kids), toys, Christmas decorations, Avon products, knick knacks, tools, cabinets, patio table, 60" projection tv, dvd players and more......
I hope that everyone has a great week!
