Shower is today... already!

I fell down yesterday and it hurt! I was asked to watch our baby neighbor, and she dashed off into the parking lot. Wyatt was on his trike right in front of me, and I tried to jump and clear him (I cleared him, but not the side of his bike) and fell on the pavement. OUCH. I have a scrape on my knee, elbows, and bruises all over, but we got the girl out of the parking lot that she didn't belong in, so... mission accomplished!
Ben and I are going to try and be out of the apartment a couple days early so we can have it all cleaned up and set to go. I am excited at the progress that we made yesterday with the help of Adam. Man I am so thankful. Today is Emily's shower. I am so excited. I can't wait to see her.
Oooohhh I get to go grocery shopping now and prepare. So, have a wonderful rest of your weekend! <3

Packing is going along. Today we are going to take the kids over to Grams and work on packing a bit. (ugh and paying the bills!) Ben got the Jeep fixed. I can't tell you what amazement I have at that man. I am so impressed with the fact that something sounds like it is knocking... he jacks the blue baby up, to find that it is an inner tie rod thingy that is VERY vital to the safety of our vehicle, I get all concerned and worried and he is pretty much like, "No problem, I know how to fix it!" Hallelujah! Makes me sad I didn't pay more attention to my parents when I was younger, I could have walked away with something great like he did (his dad taught him all he knows about cars. Man I could have learned a lot about cooking from my mom. SNAP)
My final paper is due next week Tuesday for Perspectives. I think that it will be OK, but it is causing quite a bit of anxiety that I haven't completed that. Depending on how far we get with moving today, I might have to spend some time during my normal bedtime hours to work this out. It is just a stress that it hasn't been looked at much in the last couple days. Want to do a bang up job on it!
I am coming to the realization that we are in our last week in the place we have lived for the last 6 years as a married couple. It is wierd. Just plain wierd. I am not really sad about it (though I will miss our neighbors quite a bit) but instead I am relieved and excited for what we are onto next. My friend, Rae asked me yesterday if I think we will end up staying in PA. Gosh I don't know. I have had many people ask me that, and right now I feel like the answer is no. I am going to pray that God just shows us the way He wants it. It is kind of difficult in the position I am in now with relationships and friendships to leave that, but I am pretty good at keeping up those things from a distance. I have done it before w/ other friends, and look forward to getting to know the people that I have baby friendships with and watching that grow from afar. So, typically that thought would make me really sad, but I am just more then excited for our future right now!
Anyhow, my babies are waking up now, and I could use another cup of Joe, so have a blessed day!

Dinner at Dads!

What are you doing for Earth Day?

I am sure you know this already, but moving accumulates a ton and a half of garbage. I am trying hard to set aside burnables to put in fires that we have in our backyard.

I am getting more used to drinking water, and working hard to always drink out of re-useable containers (although I bought a pack each of Fiji, and SmartWater to offer people that help us move)

We are trying always to save energy

We are probably going to leave the CFL's that we have purchsed here for the next people so the energy keeps on getting saved.

In truth we aren't doing (yet) as much as I would love to do on this earth day. I am aware of all of the things that we are NOT doing though so, that is helpful, but bummin me out a bit.

Anyhow, Happy Earth Day!

We got to spend some lovely time with friends the other day, and it was so much fun. This is AdoraNora and her mother. One of my BFF's... ;)

Jesse was here last night and the guys made some major progress w/ moving some pretty big pieces of furnature, so I am really excited about that. It made me sad upon walking in from class last night, actually to see this place emptying, but I am praying about it and setting everything at God's feet. I feel peaceful.

How are you today?
