Just Doing Some Laundry...

Yes I'm in the laundry room right now. I just put in my 5th load. I have 3 dryers going. There is one dude who just filled the 3 remaining washers so he'll need the dryers soon. Hope I get done fast. Just chatted with an older lady who's traveling. She is from Canada. Was going to head down so some places in California but the weather was too bad. Tomorrow they are making their way to Silver Creek Falls then the gorge. How fun for them.

And so I am slavin away doing laundry but I'm actually using it as kind of a break. Which will be coming to end here shortly. I have been in the whole time just checking email and such.

I have one friend who is in Thailand right now and she sent tons of pics. Super cool. I love to travel like that. The two times I have went overseas I was very excited. I always get a bit nervous...but I love coming home with the experience of getting a taste of another culture. I think that is why I'm open to moving to California...a bit anxious but excited for the taking home the experience.

Well my hubby and kids came to visit me so off I go. Until next time.

And Life Goes On

So let us see.?.? What has been going on in my life lately. Hmm it seems like something has gone on. Well our propane went out again in the middle of the night again. That was fun. My poor hubbie went to four places in the middle of the night to fill the tanks to no avail.

So then we were both really grumpy the next night because we had no sleep. But we both went to bed early and feel much better today.

My auntie Wanda has come to visit with my mom (where I am at right now) while my dad and one of his employees are off on their motorcycles off to Phoenix Az...

So...I see something on the horizon but not quite sure of what it's forming...will keep you updated.

Chasing The Wind

Went to the play tonight with just my husband. What a treat. I was beginning to forget what is was like to just be with him and noone else. It was a Christian play put on by a ministry called His Acts. They are a group of very talented people and this is the third one I've been to but the first without my kids. So this year we actually could watch it.

It was moving. It was about priorities. It was about the important things in life like family. When we go after money, power, things...it's like chasing after the wind. It's based on Ecclesiates in the Bible. If anyone is in the Corvallis Oregon area it's playing one more time tomorrow night at 7pm at the LaSalles Stewart Center and it's free. It has good acting and a very inspirational message.

I was challenged in a few areas. For one I left there with a sense that God wants to do more with my life but I hold myself back. Another is that I am a Christian but so much, especially lately, I feel defeated and oppressed. It shouldn't be that way. Jesus came that we may have life and have it to the full and if I'm not experiencing the abundant life than I'm getting ripped off. This would be my own fault but also the enemy himself. He only comes to steel, kill, and destroy and I've let him lately. After leaving there I felt that I need to stop living for my selfish desires that leave me feeling empty and live for God. Sounds so basic but how easy it is as a Christian to get off track. But we know we are when we feel like crud and have lost that joy that we get only from HIM!!

I have got myself in a miry pit lately. A battle in my mind has gotten me quite down. But tonight was very encouraging and helped. I thanked God that I got to go. Tonight also renewed my strength somewhat.

So tomorrow nothing during the day is planned except hubby is working (fulfilling his end of the bargain on a trading work thing). Tomorrow night are babysitting neice and nephew so brother in law and wife can go watch play. Should be exciting.

Also one of my little neices had a seizure today. At this moment she is fine. She's going in for some testing tomorrow morning. Be praying for her. Hopefully we'll know soon what is going on and hopefully it's nuthin big.

What in the world???

So I'm just wondering what has gotten into me since I entered RV world? I'm gettinerdun!! I have been doing this and that running here and there and AND at the same time staying in a decent mood and staying positive. I'm dotting the i's and crossing the t's!!

Well there is this one thing I haven't done yet...just one!! It's hangin over my head like a big black cloud. Ugh...yet again I shove it back in the dark dusty closet spot in my brain. I'll do it tomorrow. Sure.

What's everyone doing this Resurrection Sunday? I don't know what we're doing yet. We'll go to church and then I don't know.

So my man just got home. He has just a half a month left of school left. May 2nd I think is when he takes his test. After 4 long years of two nights a week after work, homework and finals he'll finally be a journeyman electrician. I'm very proud of him. He works very hard to support his family. Because of him I can stay home and be my kids' mom!! He has put a lot of his own hopes and dreams to the side to be a man and provide for us. And I'll just add that before this apprenticeship program he went 3 years to Community college right after highschool and then three years to OSU. Out of those 6 years he wrestled five of them for both the colleges. After he graduated he needed a decent paying job so back to school he went.

Funny about college. Four year state colleges aren't all that in ways that I used to think they were. Just because you graduate from one doesn't mean you'll bring home the big bucks. But they DO mean 4 or 5 (or more) years of some pretty fun memories and experiences that neither of us would trade for the world. Neither of us really use our degrees directly now but I cherish my 5 years at OSU. I met Jesus, many special friends, and grew as a person in knowledge of life and myself, and so many things.

Anyways...I can still remember my first day of college. My dad and my now husband then boyfriend moved me into my dorm that I roomed with a good friend from highschool. (I miss her..haven't seen her in long time) My daddy was so sad when he left. And then I had my man walk me around campus so I could figure out where everything was...I like remembering those days.

I should blog about that some more someday. As for now...I'm outta here.
Peace out!

Oh Gosh I have to hurry...

It's so stinking late. Anyway I just had to post though...Why? It's an obsession really. Ha. Anyways...

So signed up at myspace tonight just to check on people that I went to highschool with. Very interesting to say the least.

You know off topic but I was thinking about the reactions I get from people when I say I'm living in a RV...

There's the eyeballs-pop-out-of-the-head look and the following "wow really?"
Then there's the glad-it's-you-and-not-me look followed by "have fun"
There's the what-in-the-world-are-you-thinking-you're-going-to-be-miserable-i-would-never-oh-my-gosh-with-two-kids???-and-a-dog???-are-you-crazy not just look but thoughts vocalized, brought out in the open and spewed all over me..
There's the slight chuckle followed by nothing then the i-feel-so-sorry-for-you look

But then on the more positive side usally after we've explained why we're doing what we're doing (if I even bother...dh usually does but i don't always)
it usually changes to something along the lines of...

"well what an adventure for you guys and the kids are young it's the perfect time to do such a thing...wow it'll be tough but so worth it"

But my fave was from Great Grandma Whis...and this was her first reaction!!

"I'm so proud of you guys!!"
