Wow! It’s been forever!!

 

Life has defiantly gotten in the way of my blogging hobby, lol! So much has happened in the last month! Tim lost his job…and has a new career! We continue to see Maddie, it is a very complicated situation, to say the least, and unfortunatly we do not see her very often at this time because of that.  But, I hope that it will all change with some time! We all miss her so very much when she is not here! But our relationship with her has become so deep, with all of us! It is amazing- she is a very unique little lady! God sent her with a purpose, there is no doubt about that! ;)  She is as computer savvy as I am – if not more, so we email back and forth too!  Mads is amazing at gymnastics, se makes me hurt just watching some of the things she can do.  She just started up Gymnastics this week and moved up to the next step.  So she is doing 2 hrs a week.  I am excited to watch her!  The boys are getting so big! Gavyn’s vocabulary has gotten so big in the past few weeks, he just cracks me up everyday.  And, I do believe that he is moving out of terrible 2’s.  I realize that he is almost 4, but his have lasted this long!!!!! :)  Teagyn on the other hand, my sweet innocent little boy…..has just begun his “terrible 2’s” look out! This boy can throw a fit.  And is just as rough and tumble as his brother! Those 2 fight like nobody’s business! It drives me nuts! Some days I get so sick of hearing my own voice yelling at them all day, I could put them to bed at 6! Haha, not really but there are days!! ;) 

What else….I have started yet another semester of school as of last Monday! I studied all summer to try and test out of chemistry, with no luck! The test was so much more in depth than my capabilities, even with the countless hours I spent studying! UGH! I was very frustrated!!! To the point where I was wondering if this is really what God has planned for me! But, I am back on track now…..I am taking Chemistry Lab @ MCC, and the Lecture on line, and a Yoga class as well (required for my major-dumb, I know)! So between all of that and my little man (Gav) starting preschool next week.  We are going to have a very busy fall! Not to mention Tim!!

Ahhh, Tim! About a month ago Tim lost his job- co. went bankrupt! It was somewhat of a shock, we knew that they were not doing good, but did not expect it so soon! So Tim being the most determined man I know- went out and found a job, not only a job – he bought a semi, and is now an owner- operator for a company out of Hastings!  He will mostly be doing runs south for pick ups and then into Canada! Gone Monday through Friday most weeks! But, he will be home every weekend! That is a plus!! It is going to be a major change for all of us.  I my self will be fine, I think….I am going to be so busy this fall with work, school, the boys, Gavyn and his school stuff! But I worry about the boys!! They are going to miss their Daddy especially at bed time! We are going to have to set up a new routine! It is manageable- just a sacrifice! He just has to do this over the road type thing for a yr or two, to get some experience and then hopefully he can find something a little more local!  Life, is good! A friend of mine just said to me the other day “life is an up hill battle” and that is so true! But, there is always a good side to it too! For me having lost my brother….I just know that I CANNOT focus on the bad side of something/things it can be so consuming! You never know how long you have here on this connecting path to a much richer life! So, you have to just take it a day at a time, have fun, and enjoy it!!!

So, this weekend we are taking the boys up to Pentwater camping! I have the camper all packed, homework all done, and the we are all so excited! Kari (Maddie’s Mom) is bringing Maddie up on Saturday to spend the rest of the weekend with us too! I am looking forward to a relaxing beautiful weekend!

K! Book done! LOL!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I will be back with camping pics soon!
