Lazy Days

Today is such a lazy day!  It's raining and actually pretty cold.  It's a perfect day to snuggle on the couch and watch a sappy movie.  Who knows?  I might just watch the Notebook. (My #1 favorite movie.  I know typical.)
I will have to clean my house first though.  I mean for not working, my house should be looking a lot better than what it is now.  I should be ashamed.
I have been incredibly tired lately.  It's almost like I can't catch up on my sleep even though it's not like I am going to bed late or anything.  I was talking to my sister and I told her that and she asked if I was pregnant.  I think that is going to be all of my family's first question until I am.  Not that we are even trying but I do have a feeling it's going to happen soon.  I don't know why and I could be wrong but...it's just a feeling.  
Speaking of that, funny story;  there is a family that is very close to my family.  Their names are the Tim and Jodi Hines.  Tim is an evangelist and they live in south Florida but when they vacation, they visit here.  They go to our church that sunday morning and their family and all of mine get lunch together after church.  Well, since at least one of my sisters gets pregnant each year, Jodi turns to my mom and asked if anyone was pregnant.  
Backing up, one of my sisters just found out she was pregnant right before they came in town.
So, my mom just gave her the look like "yes".   I didn't hear their conversation and as soon as my mom gave her the look she pointed at me and shouted, "I knew it!"  Well I was a bit confused because I didn't know what she was talking about.  She went on to say that she knew when she first saw me that morning.   My mom was trying to tell her "no!  It's not her".  But Jodi just kept saying that she knew it over and over.  Well, finally she heard my mom and then they told me the story.  It was so funny!  I think we woke the dead with all of our laughing, plus Jodi's shouting when she thought I was pregnant.   Of course, I raised my hands and said "I will receive it!"  while Kyle is shaking his head.  
Well, I wasn't last month so it wasn't a prophecy or anything. :)   I know it will all happen on God's timing.
Well, I need to go clean my house.
Hope everyone is having a good day!

Old Late Promises


So, when I got back from the cruise I promised some pictures and it's been almost two months.  But better late than never right? .....

Missing Person Alert

OK, so the title is a little exaggerated but I can not believe I have not posted on here in almost a month! I am not even sure how many readers I have but still!  Well, there is a lot to update you all on.
  • The job interview.  It went well and I was pretty sure that I got the job.  But it's been a month and I haven't even heard from the place.  I was so bummed for the longest time but I went and applied at other places and again, either don't hear back or they tell me that they are not hiring at this time.  I applied at American Eagle Outfitters and they are hiring either this week or next for the holidays.  I am pretty sure that I will have that job.  I swear I go there like everyday to see if they have gone through all the applications.  I guess I am nagging but the manager was pretty pleased that I was so consistent.  It's crazy because I was so stuck on my monday-friday, 8-5 jobs that I couldn't even imagine working retail but since I don't really have weekends since I am not working at all, I don't mind so much.  But I guess we will know what happens when they finally start hiring.   It has been pretty tough though.  We get stressed with how are we going to be able to pay some bills but God has been there and provided for us every time.  There is no way that I could/ would deny Him.  He has proven Himself real to me way too many times.  Plus, I know that we are not the only ones struggling.  We actually have it made to some people out there who have been laid off their jobs.  They have lost their house, maybe even their families.  It's  a tough time but I try to just focus on the positive and not on the negative.  Thanks for all of those who have been praying for us.  I have no words to even describe how much that means to me.  And again, a special thanks to Emily. :)
  • Family.  Well, one of my sisters just announced a week ago that they are expecting another baby!  I am so happy for them!  This is their fifth!  Ha, I guess my family just likes having big families.  And I love watching them all have big families. :)  I don't think I could have that many but I love having a million nephew and nieces.   It's awesome!  The other 8 are doing good too.  It looks like my younger brother will be getting married next year.  Him and his girlfriend aren't engaged yet but it looks like that will happen very soon.  I am so  happy for him.  Amanda, his girlfriend, is just a wonderful girl and she just loves him for who he is and I couldn't be happier.  The other day I was thinking about it and I teared up, (I am for sure the emotional one in the family).  It's just so great.    
Ok, it's getting late and I have a busy day tomorrow.  I hope everyone is doing great!  And I promise to not disappear for so long!  :)
