    My attempt at a purse…

    Here’s another creation that I finished the other day. I took some old jeans from the kids and cut them straight across a couple inches from the crotch (couldn’t think of another word, sorry). Turned the jeans inside out and sewed the bottom together. Then, I took the red/white gingham clothe and cut it to fit inside the jeans. Those two piece were put insides facing each other and sewed them together. Since I had these handles from another purse that I have, I measured to see where the handle loops need to go. From there, I folded down the…

    From the Mouth of the 4 year old

    On the way to Atlanta tonight, from the 4 year olds: Alex: Mom, squirrels climb trees. Alex: Do squirrels pee? Me: Yes, all animals pee. Alex: Do dogs pee? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee! Alex: Do bears pee? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee! Alex: Do bears pooh? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee and poop! The conversation continued on and on! It started off really funny, but it got old after awhile.

    Valentine’s Day

    So this year Rob and I decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day on Valentine’s Day. We usually celebrate later on in the year. He went all out this year, from the concert, to the 3 bouquets of flowers, and candy. It was great. And yah, I know that was like months ago. Give me a break. I’m just trying to update you on all the things that have been going on since I’ve been MIA!

    We bought a house!!

    Finally! We bought a house this week. Well, we signed a contract and came to terms with the sellers. We’re set to have our closing May 15th, back to back with the sell of our house. We’re moving in the weekend before that if all goes as planned. We’re in a mad rush packing, cleaning, scheduling this and that. Home inspection is Monday. Pray that all goes well with that. Thanks for all the prayers. Keep them coming! Still a few hurdles to get through in the next 2 weeks! Wow! Only 2 more weeks in this house…

    Quiet lately…

    I guess I’ve been pretty quiet here lately. You should be thanking me though, because if I was writing here every day you wouldn’t want to come back. I’m just not real happy right now. I’m upset, because we’ve had 3 houses that we would live in and all 3…poof…gone! We’re running out of time, so we’re having to concentrate on renting. Since we’re in a college town there’s hardly any place that does short term leases. And that’s all we need is to get stuck in a long lease and then not be able to get out. I found…
