Currently Watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Widescreen Edition) (Harry Potter 4) By Eric Sykes, Timothy Spall, David Tennant, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson (II) see related

LOOOOOOONG time no see!!!

I'm not even sure if anyone gets on xanga anymore.

So where are we in life now?

About 2 months ago we bought our first home!! We live in Sandusky now, which I love! The lake is like 4 blocks away. Enjoying every minute of it.

I got hired into Penske in December and then in May got promoted to 2nd shift Dispatcher! To think how quickly I've moved up in a year is insane. I came in knowing nothing about trucking. But I work hard and try to learn as much as I can.

We've still got the pup. He is as huge as ever, bout 100 lbs at least. 4 cats now! One had kittens, and we kept em.

I am still married to the best man in the world. He's such a dreamer and I am so logical. He is inspiring. I love him more everyday.

Better get a move on so I can be ready to go see Fireworks when Bobby gets home.

P.S. Harry Potter atOotP is released next Wednesday! And book 7 the 21st! WOOOOHOOO!

wow...boy has it been crazy lately. We are drained. Pray for us as we continue to fight a battle that is upon us. Things are looking well with it and at least we have someone who is trained to protect our interest, even though it costs an arm and a leg. Pray that God continues to fill us up and that the truth be known in this situation.

My brother moved in with us a couple weeks ago. Seems to be going well. I'm glad to have him here. We wanted to give him a different opportunity than other choices he had.

Next saturday is mine and Bobby's 1st Anniversary! Sweet huh?! There have been so many great things that have gone on in the last year, and so many battles fought together. The joy that we have had through everything is a blessing from God. I am so blessed to have a husband that can see the spiritual side of things, that can thank God even in the middle of struggle. I am so blessed to have a husband that knows how to handle me when I'm frustrated. I am so blessed to have a husband that tells me, "I love you" no matter what the situation. And through that he shows me God's character. I have never had a better understanding of God's love as I do now. How wonderful I love you Bobby!

We are going to the Ritz in Tiffin for the Slackers Comedy Tour. And spending a night in a hotel so we can be away from the dog and just relax.

I better get a move on, gotta go to Walmart and clean the house.

I'm exhausted. Bobby continues to search for work as things grow tighter (I guess never said that Bobby walked out on ACI. He went back after his back injury and they started to pull their old crap again. It just wasn't a good place to be). But we still continue to thank God for what he has in store for us.

So many things have happened in the past month but they all seem to run together. So I guess there isn't much to actually say.

It's all God's timing not ours.

So even though Bobby now has time for stuff at church, I don't. I work the suckiest shift ever. 10-7+. So can't go to Bible study in the morning or evening. Grr.

And I really have no sympathy when people say that they hardly make anything at work and then talk about getting there nails done every week or buying a 4 wheeler or something. I would love to be able to have their paycheck and their health insurance! We are trying to sell a car just to get our first tank of propane!

Anyways, Kitty is getting married in a month! Bobby and I met this weekend last year (Sept 18). And we will have our 1st anniversary in less than a month!  Oh and Heather is done with basic! She lost 30 pounds! I'm so happy for her accomplishment of graduating.

k well gotta jet.

My heart is heavy...Our hearts are heavy...We have really been struggling with finding the time to be involved at church. We want to serve. But long hours of work hinder us from getting involved in a weekly Bible study or volunteering for other things. My bones feel unsettled, like somethings wanting to get out. sigh

Lord, I am so blessed to have a husband that sees this need to serve you, to praise you. I am so blessed to have a man that feels being at home with his family is more important than all the money he could ever make. I am loved and blessed beyond anything I could ever ask for. Thank you Lord!

Bobby has an interesting job prospect. For a printing company in Tiffin that is owned by a Christian man who is a member of one of my dad's churches. It would mean a pay cut for about a year, but it would mean being home by supper time. God has provided perfect opportunities so far, so we have faith he will continue.

As for me, I'm going to be searching for another job. Not because I want to leave mine (because I really like it). But because I need a better chance to advance. I do all the same stuff as the actual dispatchers and make 1/2 as much.

Well, just pray.

He is faithful!

Okay, so we'll try to update as long as the computer keeps working...everything else has been deciding to break on us.

Kevin and Amy moved to Indiana a couple weeks ago

Justin and Josh's dad passed away this week

Stupid popups! This internet really sucks...but what can you say when you live out in the country.

Heather left for basic for the Air Force on Monday. We had a little going away party with family out at our house.

The landlord told us that he would consider our offer if we decide we want to buy the house later.

Bobby has been busy putting pluming and venting into the utility room so we can move the washer and dryer up from the basement.

I am now working a the new Ohio Central Dispatch in Clyde. A huge gas saver! Haven't gotten hired in yet, so we'll see how that continues to go. The next few weeks should be interesting.

Life is busy, but good. My husband is such a hard worker and cares so much for me. I love him!

We may actually be able to take a vacation this year.

The dog is 5 months old and weighs over 50 pounds! He is huge and nuts!

I miss acting...and dancing...

I'm sure there was more I had to say, but I am normally in bed by now so my brain has shut off.

Yeah, I'm pretty much wanting to fall asleep right now.

So I guess I better go then.

God Bless
