Weekend

I'm here again in Basic Skills, and while my kids do their assignment, I'm updating my classroom and personal blog. This weekend was a blast. Friday night we cleaned up the house. Saturday morning Daniel got up and went door knocking for the Hispanic work in the area. After door knocking we went yard salin'. We had a blast. We spent less than 20 dollars - CAN'T BEAT THAT. We also got lost looking for a restaurant in the middle of no where Ball Play, AL called Beans 'n Greens. We found it after ending up in Piedmont/Centre. Go figure. We also went to the Spanish worship services at 3:00 PM Saturday. (They had the services at Glencoe.) I didn't understand a word they said except I caught "loco" once. I cracked up; I couldn't help but laugh. We worked on the nursery some Saturday and got some stuff for it at the yard sales. Yesterday, I went house looking with Mom just for the fun of it. (It's my favorite past time.) Overall, we had a great weekend! Oh, we also ate lunch with our preacher and his wife on Sunday. That's was a sweet treat! Much love to all!!

Interview and Dinner

I'm sitting here with my Basic Skills reviewing for the graduation exam. Life is pretty good. Daniel has another interview today. As a matter of fact, it just started! It's with Amedisys. I hope we find out something soon. I'm starting fret over finances. I know we'll be fine without him working; I just don't like change or adjustments. We're planning on setting up our nursery this weekend so we can get Levi one weekend soon. I'm excited. I went to eat with Sharon last night (the preacher's wife). She's soo sweet. I didn't realize how much I miss female interaction until last night. I guess it's something you can definitely live without but is a definite luxury. It's always nice to spend time with christian brethern. Well... that's our life in review. I'll update soon. Should be updating more often because I've started my classroom blog which I'll update daily. Love to all. Miss you lots!!

Life in Glencoe...

  • Well, life has been pretty simplistic around here.
  • We've been able to spend a good bit of time with the Courington side of the family lately. I always enjoy seeing them.
  • School is good. The drive is getting old though.
  • Daniel got to go to the Auburn opening game with Alex. They both had a blast.
  • We've starting spending time with our preacher and his family. They have a 5 year old little boy and a 4 month old little girl.
  • Daniel thinks he's landed a job with New Beacon Hospice here in town. We hope it all works out. They gave him a drug test and a background check before they even interviewed him, and from what we heard from a previous employee of the company, they only do tha if they know they are going to hire you.
  • Hm... we've been working on our house. I need to post pictures. Some of you have never seen it. We're in the process of setting up a guest bedroom and a nursery (no, not for us) but for nieces and nephews when they come visit. We have entirely too big of a house. I guess that's a good problem though! :)
  • We officially have no friends. It's hard to find good Christian friends to do things with. Thus, the spending time with the preacher's family. They are still a good bit older than us, but it works out well!
