What an awesome day…

28 07 2009

Today I went with my daughter for a 3D sonogram to see the baby.  I’m just amazed how the technology is today.  The detail alone was just amazing.  Not too much to say today, I’m just still in awe.

Still looking for a job.  Haven’t heard anything from the Drs. office that I had the interviewed with.  But just praying something comes along.

Here’s Isabelle’s 3D pictures so you can see what she looks like in the womb.  Pretty cool.





Whew…

This has been busy and crazy these last few days.  Brian and I are counseling 2 more couples in their marriages and that alone takes a lot of time and energy.  We love to do it though.

I had my interview this morning at the Urology office and I think it went quite well.  I was told that I am one of the top candidates for the position.  She was thrilled about my office experiences, and that I worked for a Doctors office before, plus I’m only about 10 minutes away from the office, and that I don’t have small children to take away from they busy schedule that they have at the office.  So, just pray that this is the job I am supposed to have.

I’m working on Amanda’s baby shower.  We’re going to have it on August 30th.  She isn’t due until September 23rd, but I really wanted to have it quite a bit before the baby get’s here.

Anyway, I’m going to go to bed.  See everyone later.

At my apartment complex…

9 07 2009

Why is it that there always has to be a few that have to ruin things for others?  For instance, last night I went to bed probably around 10:30 pm or so.  I could still hear people out by the pool.  They are supposed to be out of there by 10 pm.  This morning after I got home from group, I took the dog out on his little walk we do, and all the chairs and a couple of the loungers are in the pool.  I was so irritated by this.  It just ruins things for everyone around here.  I wound up calling the office before they opened and let them know what I saw.  I left the message anonymously.  But here lately, we’ve been hearing a lot going on out by the pool.  I guess they are just going to have to lock it up at 10 pm and reopen it at 10 am everyday.  It sucks that they would have to do that, but maybe people would learn.  Maybe not, but you never know.

Anyway, that’s just my vent for today.  It just really irritated me.  Have a great rest of the day.  I think I’m going to go watch my son play softball tonight.  Maybe I can talk to Melissa to see what’s going on with the job too.  That would be nice to know if they are really going to hire or not.

Encouraging Word

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Nothing yet…

8 07 2009

Well, I still haven’t heard anything from Melissa’s office.  I’m sure it’ll be a couple days, but I would really like to get in there and at least have an interview.  It would be nice to hear from someone that I’ve put resumes into.  Brian’s unemployment still isn’t coming in, it still says pending information.  It’s been 5 weeks.  I know it can take longer, but I’m wondering if Comet is being jerks and not sending in the information that Missouri is wanting.  That wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Well, Amanda is doing very well with her pregnancy.  She’s now at 29 weeks and getting big.  I’ll put a picture of her on here.  We know for sure that the baby’s name will be Isabelle Marie.  I just hope that Amanda and Brandon get married.  They really are cute together and you can really see that they love each other and the baby very much.  July 4th 7 months

Anyway, have things to do, talk to y’all later.

Encouraging Word

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Ok, I slacked last week…

7 07 2009

Hopefully this week will be better.  Today is a totally freakin awesome day.  I got on facebook the other night and thought about looking up old friends from school.  I found an old girlfriend of mine that I haven’t seen or talked to in probably 25 years.  We just exchanged numbers and talked on the phone, it was so good to hear her voice.  She’s living outside of Chicago and has 3 kids ages 5, 4, and 2.  Here I’m gonna be a grandma and she’s just starting her life as a mother.  Crazy.  Anyway, she was telling me that they are having a girls weekend here in MO at Big Lake.  I haven’t been there since I was 16.  It’s 40 north of St. Joe.  She was telling me that I need to come out there this weekend.  I would love to, but I don’t know if I will be able to.  Maybe next year for the girls weekend.  She said they do this every July.  It would be a great time for me to share with her and her sisters about my life and how Jesus has changed me.  Wouldn’t that be awesome.  But I’m getting the feeling that I shouldn’t go this year.  Fleshly, I would love to go, but I feel in my heart that I shouldn’t, that it’s just not the right time.

OK, so then last night I get a call from my son telling me that his best friend’s step mom’s place of employment is looking for a new receptionist, which is a Drs. office.  Melissa, Justin’s step mom, asked me to email her my resume.  I did.  Not only did I email my resume, I sent a cover letter and references.  I guess they were noticing that I worked for a Cardiologist at one point and she said to Brian that, that is my shoe in, well and along with all my other experience.  But they liked the fact that I worked in a Drs. office before.  So pray that I at least get an interview and everything goes well.

Gotta run, have stuff to do.

Encouraging Word

Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.

Life…

1 07 2009

Siblings…How do you deal with them?  I have one sister that is my half sister from my biological mother.  I feel as though she is really pissed at me.  Then I have my brother who I grew up with, we’re not close, but I’ve always wanted to be.  How can I change these relationships?  I’ve tried.  I think my sister’s pissed at me cause we basically kicked her out and told her she needed to find a place of her own.  I think if we didn’t she was planning on bringing her 3 boys up here and going to have them live in my small 2 bedroom apartment with us also.  I don’t think that would have been good at all. 

Anyway, let me give you a run down on what’s going on.  She moved up here from Louisiana to do her clinic’s at one of our local colleges.  I let her stay with me under the impression that she was only going to be here for about 2 weeks and she was going to move into her own apartment.  Well, the apartment that she wanted fell through and she just didn’t look anymore and just planned on staying here.  I kept “encouraging” her to keep looking.  Everything she saw was too small.  But for her price range, she wasn’t going to get any better.  So now she is paying almost double and living in a ritzy area and I don’t know how she’s going to pay the rent, but I can’t worry about that.  But we haven’t talked since she left my place so I have a feeling that she is pissed at me.  And that’s fine.  She’ll see that what we did was for her own good, but I hope she sees that what she did in the apartment area was stupid too.

Encouraging Word

Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
