Flower Garden - A Blessing

I am so blessed. There have been many people that have helped us get into our new house. The lastest being the flower bed in front in our house. My Pastor's wife and friend, Laural and her sister-in-law, Kathy planted it today in the rain. Pictures follow. Makes me smile every time I drive into my yard. Thank you so much Laural and Kathy!

Best compliment ever!

Recently, I signed up at emealz.com. Emealz creates 7 meals per week based on the grocery sale papers. I chose Publix Portion Control. I've enjoyed not having to think about dinner. My family is enjoying dinner too.

Tonight, I made Mexican Potatoes and served them with meat loaf. Jonathan watched Lee prepare his potato with the sour cream/corn/cheese mixture and top with salsa. Then wanted his fixed the same way. While eating his potato, he said "This is a good meal. It's better than spaghetti!"

Since spagetti is his favorite meal, I know I just got the best compliment ever!

This is Debby

My dear sister, Debby, is my child care provider this summer. What a blessing she has been to me. The boys are enjoying her too.

If you are friends with her on facebook, you can see her pictures here. They've had quite the adventures.

I don't think I'll ever be able to put into words how much I appreciate her. I hope that she knows that I love her.

5 things that I like about my new house...

1. The laundry room - I now have a room dedicated to laundry. And a new washer. In the past, I've done laundry in a college dorm, a laundry mat, my mother-in-law's house and in my bathroom.

2. Two bathrooms - no longer will I share a bathroom with my boys. If you have boys, you know what I mean.

3. Closets - there are closets in each of the three bedrooms. There is a linen closet in the hall. There is closet space in the laundry room, which I love, by the way. Each of us will have our own closet. No more sharing space.

4. Neighbors - we have good neighbors. One has already mowed the lawn just to be nice (we have since hired him to take care of the lawn).

5. The Lake - we have fishing rights. Now to learn how to fish so that I

can teach the boys.

One thing that we do not like about our move - we will be leaving Nana

and Granddaddy's neighborhood. The boys, especially Jonathan, think

that they'll never see Nana again. I am having trouble convincing him

otherwise, but I hope that this works itself out.

My mother-in-law has been instrumental in getting every thing done

and painted so that we can move. I do not think I will ever be able to

express my thanks to her sufficiently. But I hope that she knows

how much I appreciate her!

So here's to tomorrow and getting everything moved before the
