Okay, I'm posting...
I know it has been months since I have posted. Believe it or not though I have been reading all your posts, just not replying. Why you may ask? Because I only check in on LJ when I am at one of the two places I work at because my computer at home basically stinks as far as internet is concerned (takes FOREVER to get anything to come up) and so since I only do it at work, I don't get to check it very often. This is also the reason I haven't been posting...but tonight I will...but I won't guarentee it will be a consistant thing or a very often thing. My apologies. I will at least try to do better at replying to you guys' posts.
By the way...thanks for the nudges and e-mails to me wondering where I'm at...I appreciate that.
So, my life has been crazy busy...as I'm sure all of yours are as well. Grant is now 5 and Kari is 4. Grant will be going to Kindergarten next year which just freaks me out. I am more than ready to have a third child, if only I could convince my hubby! :) Kari will go again to Preschool next year. Since they are both in Preschool Mon-Thurs 8 to noon I work at a furniture store here in town while they are there. It has worked out extremely well and they are very understanding when I have to stay at home with the kids because of holidays/days off/and illness. I am fortunate to have the job, but yet I really hate their attitudes towards people in the community. They are really gossipy, negative, and just down right prejudice (meaning that they are only "friends" with people who have money). This is several reasons why I am not going back next fall. (I won't work during the summer beings that I'll be home with my kiddos). I'll need to find somewhere else where I can work that would be as flexible with me as they are but not as negative and nasty.
I am very involved in lots of things...planning a ladies spring tea at the school (Danea Dobson, James Dobson's daughter is speaking there). Also planning a Mommy Camp for us Mom's to get away for a weekend and be pampered and revitalized...and many more minor things. It's always something, but I enjoy it tremendously.
John is doing well. He has had a tough 6 months with his job. Again, promises from his boss that has not been kept, and expectations that have not been fulfilled. I don't see us staying here more than another year or so....and neither does John...just another stepping stone. I have resolved that I will probably be a person who will not live in a place longer than a few years...as much as I want to, it's just not the kind of life I have. With John's career and his personality, it is the life that I have. As long as I have my Savior and my family I'll be fine though wherever God takes us.
I still work at the radio station on Tuesday nights (that's where I am now) and I enjoy it very much......
John and I will have a much needed "retreat" this week. On Thursday we are going to Topeka KS for the Kansas Newspaper Association Convention. I always go with John to these because everything is paid for. The kids will go to Mom and Dads. We are very much looking forward to it...espcecially me because I get to go shopping! YEAH! (That is what stinks about living in Colby, there is NO WHERE, literally, to shop!) Also, John and I will get a chance to reconnect with is always nice and necessary.
Oh, isn't the VT thing just horrible. I can't believe that people don't believe in Satan and evil when things like that happen. It is just proof to me that he does exist. But, Our God is more powerful than him and HE has the VICTORY! Praise the Lord! Anyway, we have really good friends who are retired professors of VT and live in Blacksburg. We know there kids really well (one lives in Goodland, KS, just 30 minutes from where we are). They volunteer a lot on the campus, but thank God they were not there yesterday and are safe. That just makes the whole thing more "personal" to me since we know someone who lives there, works there, etc. I'm just so burdened for those people. Please pray for all of them.
Well, I don't have much more to say, or at least, I don't want to take up your whole friends page with my entry...which I could do if I went on and on updating you on my life since what, last fall?
I hope this finds you all well.
