20 years

Well Charles and I celebrated out 20th Wedding Anniversary a couple of days ago I can't believe it has been 20 years. Charles said "I've been married as long as I was ever single" So now on to the next part of our married lives the next 20. We had a strange day we both worked, then we helped our friends move into their new home, we grabbed broasted chicken from Albertsons on our way, met our friends at the new house and helped them un-pack the boxes from the U-haul. My God children now have a really big house to live in and a back yard to play in and explore, The house was built in 1904 and has some of the most beautiful things about it 12' ceilings and some leaded glass windows that are absoutely beautiful, it was truly a gift from God. We haven't done anything for our anniversary but we plan to go out to dinner or something I dont know it was just kind of another day. We will just have to find something different to do. I'll let you know.

Block Party

Well again it is that time of year again... I hosted our 6th annual block party, where everyone comes out to enjoy an evening of food and friends. This year was no exception, almost everyone came out to enjoy the bbq and as always more food than we could consume. We had some new additions this year to our shin-dig this year with 2 new families Micah & Kim a young couple who are wonderful and have a heart for God, Praise God! Then there is Vincent & Martha another wonderful young couple with 2 small children, he has an afinity for the cars and works where he can get parts for his cars cheap. We sat while the sun set eating steaks, ribs, chicken, burgers, hotdogs, pork, salads of all kinds and lots of desserts.
The kids played and rode bikes in a cirlce around us to our displeasure (we were set up in the middle of our culde-sac) we were worried someone would get hurt. We had a firepit in the middle of everything flaming away burning all of Doug's misfit creatures it was sad seeing and eagle and bear becoming dust. The kids when it got dark got to break out the marshmallows and then we had several torches of flaming, toasting, charring bites of goodness. Yum! We all sat around talking and laughing having a wonderful time, I can't wait till next year!

How Observant Are You?

Update!

Well I thought I would give and update sense I haven't done that lately. Everyone here is fine, very healthy and all doing well at this moment, (as you know anything can happen in the next moment) LOL
Two weeks ago I was released from my Job and told "I am sorry you just aren't a good fit for what we need" How frustrating is that? I did get a few bills payed off though. I did start a new job today however and am looking forward to something different until I can find a better paying job. This is telemarketing for the automotive industry (Something I know a little bit about). They don't pay a whole lot $3.00 less than what I was just making but hey it is more than what unemployment pays and I dont have any of that left either. So on to the next phase of my life.
I have given the children in my Sunday School class a summer challenge they are to learn the books of the bible and then help the others to learn them as well. We have been studing about families and what it means to be part of a family and helping each other, when they all learn the books they will get a pizza party and movie night. Nic and Joe were learning them today to get started although only Joseph is in my class Nicholas wants to learn also, I am so excited. Joshua's class is working on getting care packages to send to our troops in Iraq, one of our members has a son over there and has written that need the basic necessities because they run out and it is expensive to replace.
Joshua is working hard he just got his first paycheck on Friday and quickly learned some lessons He had over $400.00 and wanted to take us to the movies we had a wonderful time seeing "The Fantastic Four" but it cost $40.00 for all of us to see the movie. Then he bought a couple of games and Bam he is already down $100. LOL so here we go: 16 year old son gets first Job and has to get new clothing $45.00, 16 year old son has received 1st paycheck $400, 16 year old son learning about life and how much things actually cost? Priceless!! Heehee
