Stuff on my mind, so thought I'd just blog to you about it! lol. So, Ben needs a job! We're making it, but barely. Granted, he does EVERYTHING around the house, but we just need some extra income. He needs something part time so he can still be home Tues and Thurs with the kiddies. He was going to join his friend's landscaping business, which would have been perfect, but apparently something fell through with that, so here we are! If you know of anything.....let me know! :) We're still going to Crossview and loving it. Even Ben is, so that's a HUGE blessing! Keep praying for him, please! The kids also love it, so it's great! Also love seeing Missy again! :) I joined Curves a few weeks ago. I did a free trial and liked it, so I officially joined and can go on my lunch, which works perfectly for me! It's literally less than 5 minutes from my work. Now if only I could control my eating better! I'm pretty disciplined through the week, but the weekends are tough! They said I'll notice inches before pounds and seems like maybe that's the way it's going. I'll get measured again here in a week or two. Had a MINOR pregnancy scare....I say minor b/c the likelihood of it happening is slim to none, considering we're both fixed, but I was 3 weeks late! LOL. Guess my body decided all of a sudden to just delay TOM! Strange! Anyway, Abby has her kindergarten testing today. Hoping she does well and wishing I had prepared her a little better first. Ugh! Oh, well.....still can't believe my little Abbster is starting school this year!!!!!! Brian would be so proud of her! :) Nothing new on the homestead. Things have been pretty tame.....well, tame for a family of 8! :) There are definitely nights I want to tear my hair out, but other nights when all seems just normal. lol. Ok, that's my update! Love you all! :)

YAY!! :) So glad you posted!! :) FB hasn't been enough!! haha :)

Praying for you & your 'new' family! I can't believe it's been 2 years... And, Abby will be A-OK in the Kindergarten department!! ;) I know, it's easy for me to say that! ;)

I'll be praying for Ben :) I actually just got done reading/reviewing Max Lucado's new book "Max on Life." There are some pretty deep questions in there, that I've either dealt with or have had problems answering when asked by others! Maybe you could have it *conveniently* hanging around... I found a lot of comfort & reassurance in it myself, and not because of Max, necessarily, but because of the scripture he references... just sayin ;)

And, sorry for hijacking your comments... Bad blogging form ;) But I had a lot to say!! :)

Love ya!! :)

love you Sara girl! It was great to see you at Crossview... you should have went to Women of Faith with us! So much fun... there's a lot of great girlfriends at that church! I missed going with my cousins but it was neat to get to know some of the Crossview crowd.

anyways... I finally put a link to your blog on my blog so I'll read you more often whenever you post... I'm lazy like that and if the link isn't right there I forget to keep up with my blog sisters...

also I just want to say that you are amazing what with the whole family of 8 thing going on... I'm in awe of God's blessings on you and how you have handled them! just saying... you go girl!
