On the homefront

My hubby and I are getting closer to landing our new home. Very exciting times ahead!

The one we are very interested in is in a beautiful neighborhood and has big trees, a neighborhood park, tennis courts and is easy access to the highways and good shopping areas without being noisy.

With that being said, the budget is tighter so I couldn't buy the latest book for my book club because it was still in hardback and was pretty pricey. But I did read the free sample on Amazon and it sounds really good. When it becomes available at the library**, I'll be picking it up.


**Our local library system had only four copies (FOUR!!!!) of this book and all were checked out or reserved pretty quickly, so I didn't get the chance to read it in our allotted two week period for each book. Sad day.

And with the possibility of buying a house and moving, there could be a limited amount of blog posts in the coming months, just giving a fair warning.

I do love posting tutorials and stories for you guys so I'm not abandoning it.

I'll keep praying for my house and for you guys. I hope you're all doing well!

TTFN! :)

Where does the time go?

I had planned to make another necklace with a tutorial this week, but time has snuck up on me and that's not going to be accomplished before the weekend.
House hunting has really got me fried. Plus a plethora of things going on in our personal life and our church life really has me distracted.

I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and I thank Him everyday that He has given me the strength to not give up or give in. Which I could very easily do.
I just remember to pray to the Father and thank Him everyday and turn to Him FIRST when something seems to slide downhill. Frankly, it's comforting to know that when life gets chaotic and directionless, God is right there, looking down on it all saying "This. This is easy. I got it."

So when one of your best friends suddenly tells you she is moving to the other side of the country because God lead her there, you can take comfort in the Lord and thank the internet for keeping everyone in contact with one another. :)

I'm praying that life slows down soon. I don't get a summer vacation anymore but my life does revolve around the school calendar. With hubby being a teacher and now teaching a BSF children's class myself, I keep busy from September to May. A vacation at home would be a welcome change. I've got so many projects to try and a house to find. The weekends just aren't long enough!!

New project to come soon!!
