Ok…so don’t I feel dumb…I didn’t even notice that Justin had made an entry on my blog. Thank you honey…I mean Mr. Administrator/Webmaster Sir 😉

Last night Brandon and Meagan came over to watch “Goonies” with us. Of course we pulled up just a tad on the late side. That shock anyone? haha I had been looking forward to watching that for some time now. It’s nice to have a break from it all sometimes and to catch up with friends. Lately I’ve been feeling pulled in so many directions. It’s not been as bad as I’m sure it will be but with work being so busy and working on wedding stuff and other things, I feel like it’s bedtime every night before I’ve had a chance to sit down and relax. Thanks guys for coming over and hanging out with us. We definitely need to do things more often!

Hey everyone! It has been a long, stressful week at work. Last Thursday we received in about 630 boxes of books. Throughout the week we received about 200 more. I am VERY happy to say that we are now down to about 50 boxes. Not bad for just 2 people at a time working on it huh? One to price and one to check in. The higher ups decided this summer that we didn’t need any help so we’ve had to man the front with campers and do the books at the same time. Looks like now they are saying we can “apply for some help”. I was so frustrated that I just laughed. Now that all the main work is done we can “try” to get some help. Oh well…that is just a little update on why I haven’t posted recently.

Now, onto a MUCH more important thing…I please ask all of you that are praying individuals and those who aren’t (I encourage you to start). I found out some news from my family late last night and I can’t really say anything right now but the good news I asked you to pray about earlier might become bad news. While I know you all would like to know what it is, I pray that you will trust me for now and please pray as hard as you can for my sister Erin and Mike (my brother in law). Thank you all so much!

Things are about as good as can be expected considering we have gotten 5 delivery trucks (4 being 18wheelers) and over 600 boxes of books this morning within a 2 hour window. Bing! Bang! Boom! they came and went one right after the other. Now we are stuck with the aftermath. Luckily for me and my sanity Physical Plant was able to bring a fork lift over and send some reinforcements to help unload the trucks. Unfortunately for me, they left after unloading and now it’s me against 600 plus boxes. Thanks to my very helpful crew, Nikki is pricing, Mike is helping check in, Jillian too, and Wayne too. I believe we have gotten around 45 boxes checked in this afternoon. Oh so much to do! I guess I’ll be living here for awhile. I’ll keep you posted.

I have a prayer request, and I can’t really say what right now, but it is definitely something good. Please pray for my family in the next few months. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to share with you. Thanks a bunch!

Justin and I are in the process of getting a new home number. For obvious reasons I”m not going to post it here but if you need to get in touch with us and the number you have isn’t working let one of us know. We should be phoneless for about a week (except cell phones)

…of my life! Ok, so it’s not that dramatic. I went to see Justin for lunch today at Sherwin Williams to get some left over pizza. I got there shortly after he did and went inside to see paint on the floor and Jackie laughing. Then Justin walked out and he had paint from head to toe. Poor guy! So from there I offered to go get him some clothes. It took forever to get there and back (lunch time rush). I got there well after my break should have been over and grabbed some pizza and a drink and left (I was happy to do it though). Then I get to the famous McDonald’s light and I’m waiting to turn left. The light turns green and the car in front of me starts going backwards, heading straight for me. Then the guy gets out of the car and forgets to put it in PARK! And the car continues to head in my direction. I had nowhere to go and just had to watch. Luckily he was able to jump back in and stop it about 2 to 3 inches from the front of my car. Then he motions for me to go around. Yeah right! I couldn’t get around him. Finally he directs me and watches for me so I could get around. What a day! Then two people at different times pulled out right in front of me in a 55 mph zone. I just was happy to get back to work and think I’ll be staying the night at this rate hehe. I guess I better get back to ordering books. It’s so nice to get to spend $500,000 at a time of money that’s not mine haha.

Justin and I signed the final papers for our house and received the keys on the 29th!!! Now comes the even harder part of moving in! The past 2 days have been spent slaving away trying to get all our junk packed up and transported to the new house. Justin’s parents and Uncle Stuart came yesterday and helped Justin move most of it over to the house (Thanks guys!!!!). Last night we just tried to make things somewhat liveable for poor Justin so he could sleep. The cats went crazy. I thought Apache was getting used to it but apparently he kept Justin up most of the night. Maybe they’ve had the day to adjust and will be better soon. I tell ya it was a long 20 minute ride with those 2 in the back seat haha.

I’m sorry this is so brief. I hope to sit down sometime and really update this. I’ve been in the middle of inventory at work and the auditor came yesterday. Things are beginning to pick up which means the wedding will come even faster.

I also went to Charleston this past weekend with some friends. I’ll try to remember to tell you about that too later.
Have a great day!
