New Job

Robert has a new job. What a relief. It is for a new company that is starting up. They will be doing landscaping and also have their own nursery. He will be working year round, which will be good. The job is a little farther away, but the location has all sorts of conveniences. He will be closer to a lot of family, closer to Costco, closer to the library. His commute may end up taking twice as long simply because I may end up giving him a list of "honey-dos". This will be a new adventure for us and I hope that we are up to the challenge :)

It's Tuesday!

Life, life, life. The snow is just about all gone, which is good. It also meant that we had a LOT of mud. Most of that is now dried, thank goodness. I was feeling like I could never keep my entry ways clean from all the mud everyone was dragging in. I decided to make a rug to put in the front entryway to maybe help with the mud. So, I am making a braided rag rug. It is turning out pretty cute so far. I did have to take a bunch of it out and re-do it because I was sewing it too tightly and it wouldn't lay flat. I think I am about half way done.

In walking outside we realized that our peach tree was attacked by mice and they ate all the bark around it for about 3 inches high. No peaches for us. Some of the other trees had small bits of bark taken off, but they should be okay. I love when the flowers start opening, it smells so good. It's still too cold for that, but soon......

We also discovered once the snow was gone, how much of a mess our dogs made. They got into some garbage sacks and now we have trash all over the back yard. It's time to break out the rakes and gloves and get it all cleaned up. I am super excited to see what changes we will be making to our yard this year. It is so much fun to see the before and after pictures.

I am doing okay. Life has been a little crazy this winter and we've had a lot of ups and downs, but we have been so blessed! Somehow we have made things work when we weren't sure how we were going to do it. We have had guardian angels watching over us and some great family standing beside us and supporting us. We have some more changes that are going to be affecting our family here soon. Robert is heading up right now to quit his job. He has had some other offers and will not be going back to the company he has been working for. Now we have to decide which of the offers will be best for our family. That means a lot of prayer for us in the next little while as to what decision would be better.
