Not Much Going On

Well as everyone knows we took our vacation week to redo our one and only bathroom. Needless to say it is still a work in progress. I just want to say that I know a professional didn't do the work and I am sure if they did it would be perfect. But let me tell you my husband did an awesome job on the repairs. He worked all week and it looks amazing and he got all of that rotten wood from the leak out. I just can't get over how he knows what to do on things like that. He is a jack of all trades and he is mastering them all. LOL I love that he wants to jump on projects like that well I don't do to much but sit and watch and be his goofer. That is fine. I am always asking you need something what can I do. Stop talking I know that is what is saying in his mind. I just don't want to even imagine how much money we saved by doing the work ourselves. BIG MONEY!!! I am sure if we had it to spend we would have loved to hire someone to come in to do it but we are penny pincher's when it comes to stuff like that and we love to try to do things like that ourselves. So now I am thinking of painting the walls a different color to much beige I do believe. If I could get my lazy butt up and finish it I would be much much happier. But anyway. Will post pics when I am done hopefully it will be this year. LOL

So mom has rented her house and the people are moving in Sept 1st. It is gonna be really weird riding by the house I grew up in seeing other people live there. Amy or Heather why didn't you move back here????? The people seem really nice and very friendly. I am sure they will take good care of the house they better anyway. I still remember when Jason got a saw for Christmas one year and sawed on the corner of the wall going upstairs. He was ready to do some building or destruction one. LOL I am at work now worrying about the company and where it is headed. Our service has gone down in the one area that actually makes up money and keeps us afloat Residential. NOT GOOD. But I am here for as long as I can be.

Mom has a birthday coming up soon and it is hard to believe in 30 days I will be 40!!!! Don't feel it for sure. Jasmine starts back to school Tuesday, Aug. 25. WOW she will be in the 10th grade where has time gone??? 3 more years of high school and then off to college. I am not ready for this yet can't she go back to Sherwood. She has grown into a wonderful and beautiful lady and I am very proud of her. I took her school shopping a couple of weeks ago and bought her some clothes and I need to take her back this weekend too. She never ask for anything so when she does I know she really wants it or needs it. I love that about her she is an only child(who lives with us) but you would never know it she is down to earth and not at all ungrateful. She may be a little spoiled but you would still never know that either. I sure wish Heather and Amy lived near us so she would have her aunts around she loves them and misses them. I wish I had Matthew around I am sure he would keep me active and keep me on my toes. I love watching the videos and seeing pics they post he is growing up so fast. I look at his baby pics and now don't even look like the same person. Well I am gone back to work and try to keep my eyes open.

I would like to say that I am thankful for my family and feel blessed everyday to have such a wonderful husband and children. I don't see the other 3 that much but I do love them and care about them a lot. Without Jesus Christ our house wouldn't be a home and our hearts would be empty. I may not go to church like I should but I do follow the commandments and will always put Christ first in my life. Because without him I and we are nothing. :)!!!! Love each of you.
