I am not at home right now and you can leave a message if you want to. Right now our house is in mourning over the injury of Tom Brady and his being out for the season. How sad for him and for the Patriots. It is also sad for me because he is the quarter back for my fantasy team. Oh well...
It's just too hot and too humid for too long here in Kentucky. We need an ocean here. Can anyone think of way for that to happen? If not then perhaps I need a nice long visit to the ocean. I think I may get my wish!
i got back to MA about 2 months ago and i just finally got to go to the beach on saturday. it was killing me being so close but never seeming to be able to make it. plans always got changed and it was so frustrating. i hope i get back soon! i miss it so when i'm away. even in tampa, its just not the same.
Ten months of basically living here in this house by myself is ending tomorrow. Yeah!!!! My husband has a job here in KY and will not have to leave all the time to go back up to NH for work. God has provided a job here in Bowling Green for my husband doing exactly what he did up north and he is thrilled about it. We are indeed blessed. He has lived out of a suitcase both here in KY and while up north and I know we are both so excited to be together ALL of the time again. A few months ago when his company knew things were difficult for us they decided to fly him back and forth every weekend to make it easier. He would fly back on Friday and I hated Sundays because he would have to leave again. It was getting to the point that we decided I needed to quit my job so I could be with him most of the time. That would have been so difficult because we would miss our kids, granddaughter, and church family so very much and probably only have been back in KY a week a month or so.
It has been an agonizing several weeks while we thought and prayed about the choices we had and the negotiating of salary.
Thanks to all our church family and friends for praying for us.
Praise God for allowing all things to work together for us.
So glad that God has provided this for you. The cat is still with us. We did not have to do anything dramatic last night. She seems to be doing ok, but it is still touch and go.
This is the second nurse back to life pet situation we have had in the past year, Penny with her Parvo, and now Oreo with the attack. I am beginning to wonder if I am really a pet person. I feel I can barely take care of the three children, but adding the pets---sigh. ;)
We are still in Florida. The house won't be available until some time in July; plus we still need to raise the support. We would love to see you guys if we get to Maine or even for a visit here.
Hi Jacqui! So glad things will be settling down for you & Brian. What a blessing to have a job near home. It was sad not hearing from you on your visit thru. Maybe this summer. I loved seeing Olivia in Florida. OH so sweet. Her picture hangs on my fridge and I think of her everyday. Glad to see you are able to enjoy such a blessing.
hi! how are you guys??? i have tried to call you guys a few times but haven't heard back. i hope you are well. i am good. my dad was just here for a visit and to help me with my house. they are well. :D
I have a hard time posting sometimes. It's not that I don't have much to say...because I do. I just don't think some of you want to hear it! Here's a new post anyway.
Yesterday was a great day for me.
I watched Little House on the Prairie from 5:00 to 8:00 am. (I know it's early but we are morning people)
I cleaned out a closet.
Went to the gym.
Took a nice hot jacuzzi bath.
Shopped for new curtains (didn't find anything I liked)
Played with Olivia in the afternoon. She is going to be one in a month. I can't believe how the time has flown!
Watched Pride and Prejudice eating pretzels dipped in honey mustard with my dogs next to me.(begging for pretzel bites)
Had a dinner invitation from a friend that I declined because I already had plans.
Went out to dinner with my son and some dear young friends.
Went to Jenni and Daniel's (played with Olivia some more) and watched a movie...Life with Dan. It was cute.
Went to Walmart at 11:00 at night with Josh (way way way past my bedtime!) My kids corrupt me!
It may be a boring day for some of you but it was fun for me! Not a bad day for having my husband out of town! Shhh! Don't tell him I said that!
Hope you all have good days too!
Blessing to you.
:) aw! I love pride and prejudice AND Little house. I've got seasons 1-3 of little house on DVD. I'm slowly but surely going to try to get all 11 seasons. It just might take me a while considering their approx. $30 a season!!! Have you seen the Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth? :) I like that one better than the one with Keira Knightly (or however you spell her name). ... how is Josh? I havent heard from him in a while
We did enjoy our visit with the Moyers, thank you! Unfortunately, there was a feverish sickness that made its rounds through the house during most of their visit. Still, I love having them here. Sigh. I miss them when they leave. It's wonderful to finally live one (full) days drive from them. I will be sad when it is time to move further away.
Your day sounds lovely for a day without hubby! I love Jane Austin in general and have enjoyed the books as well as the movies. Did you see the series of her works that Public Television was airing on Sunday nights for a while? Some of them were really quite good!
Wow! What a change from the days I spent with you...washing out cloth diapers in the toilet, washing dishes, and more dishes and then some more dishes, cooking and cooking and then some more cooking, and taking 3 little kids shopping in Nashua to take advantage of no tax. MEMORIES. Still here. Pray. Love you a lot and then some.
Of course you washed your hands after the toilet part...sounded kind of "unsanitary" the way I wrote the order of things!! :) Forgot the best part of those longago days...nursing. If it wasn't for you and Jan I probably would have stuck a bottle in my baby's mouth. Thank you for your example and encouragement to "do the right thing"...hold 'em, love 'em, and treasure each moment.
Hi Jacqui ! How are u ? I think he sounds like Dashboard C, and looks like Mark Ronson. M.R, is my fav.for now ! I saw olivia's pics, she so big now ! And her B-day is coming soon ! I hope u guys doing great !
Hi Jacqui, Becca's mom here - I saw your post on her blog a while back. She talks about you in the best way! I miss her and am so grateful for her family there. Life is so daily! We definitely need each other to help us all get to heaven!
haha, yeah. She was a good sport about it though. :) She's getting me back... she found a house she really likes and wanted me and Tim to look at it, but I dont think Tim and I can financially. :( At least not yet. Maybe this time next year :)
Hey Jacqui. I miss you. I'll find out when Wayne will be in Kentucky. I want to come too but I'd have to work. We also have his mother. But anyway, I hope I get to see you soon. Love you...
BTW, I'm working fulltime from home now. The candy bouquet business got pushed aside when I took this job and hasn't taken off at all. It looks like it will or has fizzled out already...
thanks for your post - i had heard all of that about laying babies on their stomachs, but silas just won't sleep on his back or side. if he falls asleep, as soon as i lay him on his back or side he wakes up immediately. i didn't know what else to do, and my mom said all of her babies slept on their tummies, and my sister-in-law said the same thing. anyway, just wanted to give you my explanation. :-)
It was good to hear from you. How is your family doing? Matthew is still here and going to school. He's a senior now. He expects to graduate, I think, in December with a double major. After that, he plans to go to graduate school. I got my job offer tonight to work at Shaw Airforce Base, starting possibly on Monday. It is dependent on the national security clearance at this point. I'm glad you looked at my site. Suggestions are welcome. I've got to find help in the event that I start getting orders. I'm getting ready to put brochures in the Myrtle Beach Welcome Center. There is potential for a lot of business. At that point, I need to hire help. I'm going to advertise in craigslist.org. We'll see what happens. We think of you often. I wish we lived closer. Wayne will be in BG some time this spring. Perhaps you can see him then. Is
The cake is yummy! but so much frosting was a bit overwhelming!hahahaha I think that is part of why it stayed so moist and didn't seem to suffer from being frozen. Love you!
Oh, good! :) No, she backed out of it before she came to see it...then wanted to come see it when she was in town the next week. :-/ Weird. As of now, there's no contract.
Cisco is a company that specializes in computer networking. They also hold a program that certifies network engineers. People who hold this certification are in high demand, and are usually paid well.
Hi kids. We are doing well. I am still working at Disney. Carol is now working at CVS. We stay busy and haven't had much time for fun stuff. As of now we have brethren looking for a place that we can rent in Maine since we no longer have the motor home. It looks like a house in Milbridge will be available in June. We are planning to be there at that time if everything works out. Hope all is well with you and yours. Maybe we can hook up sometime this summer. Somebody should plan a big old Tyngsboro reunion someday ;)
Do you read the forwards I send? I only send good ones!!!!! :) Still here. My dog died. I am getting tired of the wait...but love is PATIENT, right? Need prayers for the house to sell, so that I can be a homemaker for my men once again. Don't like to cook unless Jack is here. Tuna, salads and mac and ch. are our main cuisine. Oh, and the occasional Ramen Noodles!!! Think of you often. OH! Danny is doing GREAT!!!!! I am so thankful for answered prayer on his behalf. Hi to Bri
i am very excited about baseball season! i'm not very excited about beckett's back problems.. or shilling's problems.. but hopefully papi is over all the problems he was having last year. i'm really anticipating seeing ellsbury and bucholz become star starters :)
Hi there! I just called Nicole to ask your last name. When she told me I immediately remembered your son Brian. I also remember that you have at daughter. They spent much time at my house several years ago during the summer. Although I cannot remember your daughter's name, I will not forget what fine young people they were! Kudos and hats off to you! Thanks for saying hi.:)
