I forgot to write about our exciting news. On July 15th, Michael was offered a new job. He started today. He loved the 5 mile drive, as opposed to the 63 miles, one way!! He said he really enjoyed his day. No more sitting behind a desk. He said he must have walked 20 miles, which he greatly enjoyed. He is the Director of Enviornmental Services for three nursing homes here in our town. He is a supervisor over 11 other employees. He'll be the head of all the maintence done there. He loves this type of work, as it is always something new and challenging. He also loves visiting with the elderly people who live there as well. I am so thankful the Lord provided him with this job. It's a lot more pay, better work enviornment, a Christian company, and best of all, CLOSE TO HOME!!
Speaking of home, lately, it seems I have been running here and there, rather than staying at home taking care of the many things that need my attention. Especially now with Kelli's wedding quickly approaching, I am gone more than ever. LOTS of shopping and LOTS of driving! But, I know this is only for a season, so I am enjoying it all, and making memories with my family along the way.
Today, we had my dress fitting, and the girls and I got our hair cut. That was a 2 1/2 hour round trip! We also met with the girls new piano and voice teacher. What a wonderful lady. The girls are really excited about starting lessons with her. She's very experienced, doesn't charge a lot, and is only 6 miles from us! YAY :o)
Tuesday we are off for another trip to St. Cloud to have my hair colored, pick up some more things for the wedding and then back home again. Four hour round trip!
Wednesday is another long day of driving. This time it's to my parents home to help them with some personal things and some house cleaning. They always take the girls and I out for lunch, which is always nice. Four hour round trip!
Thursday, I'm taking my best friend, Anna, out to breakfast to celebrate her birthday. Short trip.......40 minutes one way :o) I always enjoy time with my favorite girlfriend. She is more like a sister to me than a friend. Then, later in the evening, we take one of the dogs to obedience class. That's a three hour round trip!!
Friday.......I AM STAYING HOME!!!!! I have laundry to do, a garden to weed, and pick produce from, and then a house to clean from top to bottom.
Saturday, we are also staying home. There are many projects to be worked on here. We are hoping to get several of them *crossed off our list*
Sunday, is church, and then a nice relaxing day at home with my family. I love the times when we are out and about, but I really treasure the quiet times at home with my husband and my girls.
