GIVING

I just read an article about giving..this stuck out to me "Giving what is in greatest need is an excellent way to make a huge difference with just a little as it has the largest impact. In most circumstances, giving anything is helpful and always appreciated." http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Generous-on-a-Limited-Budget

pictures to come

so i did rearrange our living room and i tried to post pictures but they wouldnt work. so i will try to do it again today! i dont know which way i like it better. but its just nice to have a change. the new way the longer couch is directly facing the tv so more people can have a better view. but we rarely watch tv. it will be good for movie nights !

Tuesday, September 02, 2008

Before

change

do you ever just feel like you need a change? i think my unrest or unease goes back to when i was a kid and we moved around a lot. so now every 6 months or so i start to get a itch to change something in my house. i dont want to move, even though i do look at realtor.com a lot! (cause i want to buy a house some day) so i am sitting in my living room thinking how i can change stuff around. i am working so i wont be able to do anything now. but maybe this week...then i can vaccum the couches and the area where they sit. the only bummer is our cable cord is short so i cant move the tv unless i put it in front of the window and behind the door. so i probably will just switch the couches. i will post before and after pictures once i actually change stuff around. maybe i will move the art work too! it drives david crazy but he always loves the end result!

i make phone calls

all day long i make phone calls and after 6 hours of making phone calls i think i am starting to go crazy! the last call of the day i reached a man named george all i needed to know was if a check was received for records. he told me he had to go to another place to find out and placed the call on hold. i was on hold for 15 minutes. nothing like the last call of the day lasting forever!!

verse of the day

proverbs 31:5 - She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at days to come.

i am blessed with friends who are amazing! i am so glad that i have friends who love the Lord and love me too!! whatever is in our future God is in control and that is pretty cool.

last campground

i went to seashore campground for the last time this summer. i take pottery to 4 local camp grounds and this is one of the best campgrounds around. it is always bittersweet to see summer come to an end. but i am so glad that i got to meet Nancy through Art & Soul and bringing pottery to the campground. she is such a great lady and wonderful friend. i am already looking forward to coming back to seashore next summer. thanks nancy!!

hope

1 corinthians 13:13b (message version) Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

i have loved "s" and i know God loves me and her.

there is HOPE in that!

sad

just got a call that our little "s" might be going tomorrow. please pray for us and her. thank you.

circus

so we went to the cole brothers circus last night. little "s" loved the cotton candy and the popcorn and especially the motorcycles which she pronouces "moto kykles". or course the motor cycles were first so after that she kept asking for them. the elephants were last and she could have cared less. she just wanted to see the motorcycles one more time. the circus is over priced and cheesy but she loved it!! the $5 cotton candy and the $5 popcorn were a big hit!!

Monday, August 11, 2008

monday

i have a case of the mondays!! i dont feel like doing anything. our little friend "s" called me into her room at 7. then we snuggled for an hour and finally got up at 8. i wish we were still snugglin'.

501 posts

pretty cool. i just saw that the last post i did was my 500th thats pretty cool. so today we went to the beach and our little friend had a great day. she loved every part of the beach and was so tired when it was time to go home she didnt seem too upset to have to be leaving. she fell asleep on the way home and was a little grumpy due to all the sand in her pull up. she loved the water and she even made sand angels. both david and i missed out on our naps but it was worth it. maybe next week she will take a nap! fat chance.

playground

so tonight i took pottery to a camp ground and david came along with our friend and they played on the really big playground. i just heard this story from david sorry its not first hand but it was so funny i had to share. they were waiting patiently for the big slide while two french canadian boys were playing and david kindly asked them "ok boys go down so the little girl can go" the just blankly stared at him. so he asked them nicely again, "ok go down boys so the little girl can go." they still just stared at him. finally he put on his mean face and harshly shouted "get off the slide" and pointed where they needed to go. (he says north) they took off down the slide and ran away. as they were sliding down david nicely said "merci". he has already become quite the over protective father. the fact that she was soaked from playing in the lake and i thought was pee also made me laugh. we are having a good time even though its hard we are also setting boundaries. please continue to pray for us as we continue to figure out this whole parenting thing.

Anne Hathaway in Cape May

People says Anne warbled Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" during a karaoke outing with friends and family at a Cape May, N.J., restaurant on Monday night. (If it's any consolation, the song is now stuck in our head, too.)

Our electric bill was 0 Because we are on budget pay and we used less electricity then last year.

sunshine

i am sitting in my living room working on my computer and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. i am working until 1 today and then going swimming with my mom and melissa joy. last night we had a chance to spend some time with davids cousin colleen and her daughter claudia. claudia is 22 months and so beautiful. it took her a little to warm up to everyone, but she already knew melissa joy from when melissa joy went to italy. claudia kept calling her doy because when she met her she was 17 months and that is about all she could say. well by the end of the night i was mel-it-ta-la and she has the cutest little voice. we had a pretty awesome dance party in melissa joy's room because she has big mirrors!!

irresistible revolution by shane claiborne

fun.

went to the beach today and the water was soo cold. i was not going to go under but i got pretty hot on the beach so i was brave and went on in. checked on some water temp web site and it was 66 degrees today in the ole atlantic ocean. crazy! i got a little bit of a tan!! but not too much since i had on some sunscreen so i wouldnt get burned. it is so nice to have visitors cause it makes you do the cool stuff your own town has to offer. we went to wildwood last night and then today to cape may and had hot dog tommy's. i had a hot dog with bacon, bbq sauce and cheddar cheese and one with mashed taters, sour cream and cheddar cheese. yum! oh and a frozen coke. then tonight we went back to cape may and walked around the stores then headed to the light house and sunset beach and the sunken ship! pretty fun day! thanks to laura and emily coming to visit! they are driving cross country (there and back) they started in CA and have made it to Jersey!

slacking a bit but here are some fun pics

april photos

enjoy! this was an all church football game day. 2 games - guys played then girls. and the girls game was a lot more competitive. we had 5 people taken to Urgent Care the worst injury was our Childrens pastor he was on crutches for 6 weeks because of a broken leg. and one of the girls broke her wrist and was in a cast for 6 weeks. crazy! i think we are going to play again in the fall!

my dad and his pet

fun

so we have been having lots of fun around our own town. bike rides, swimming, playing and of course getting ice cream from the ice cream truck. today mr. dave and our little buddy are going on a bike ride through cape may and doing some errands while i work. we are also going to vbs at church again tonight and i think our little guy is having fun. when the skits take place he is mesmerized, to see Jesus heal a man who was paralyzed was amazing. it is so cool to see Jesus and God through the eyes of a child. he made up a song last night with david and one of the lines he wrote is God likes my song because he likes everything. so cute! anyway sorry for the cheesy update but hey this is my life and my blog! enjoy! happy summer.

a kid for 2 weeks

david and i took a foster child placement for a vacation placement for another foster family that went on vacation but was not able to take him along. he is 8 years old and he came to stay with us on june 17 and he will go back to his permanent foster home on july 1. we are having a fun vacation with him, since he didnt get to go on his camping vacation we are making sure he has a great time with us. it is crazy to be incharge of a child and they really dont even know you. but so far our friend is a very well behaved child even though he told us he cant have too much sugar because it makes him wild and he told us he is allergic to strawberries and milk but his worker didnt tell us that. he is running errands with mr. dave and then we are going to go for a bike ride when i get done with work. he is looking forward to monday when he gets to go on a boat for the first time. we are going on a ferry ride and big dave will be the captain. if you have kids or are planning on having kids remember how excited the little things in life make them and teach them things they will be better people because of you. i can already see it with our friend and we have only had him a few days when we let him do things instead of doing it for him he has a sense of accomplishment. he took his training wheels off his new bike all by himself and mr dave taught him how to use the wrench and how to know which direction to go. righty tighty and lefty loosey. haha! anyway hope everyone is well and we will keep you updated on our process.

we did it!

so it only took 10 months but david and i are licensed foster parents for the state of NJ. we had our final inspection today and it was about an hour (much shorter then we expected) and the person who did the inspection was very very nice i was alone because david had to work and i was so nervous that the inspector would be mean. But when he showed up 15 min early he was very nice and he told me not to worry about anything he isnt looking to fail us, he wants to see us pass. So needless to say 1 hour later and after he looked in every closet, cupboard (he had to test the child safety locks) and he turned on every facet, checked that the toilet flushed and then looked around outside. then he had to interview me about what we are going to do for punishment and for rewards. and i explained that we want to be positive not negative and we want out child to be safe so they will have rules that keep them safe. they have a no corporal punishment rule (duh!) so time outs or loss of priviledges is our choice. and then we are going to do reward charts and a big reward like a picnic, going to the zoo and such. the inspector seemed happy with my answers and he sia that we are going to be great parents and he can tell we have a loving home already and he congratulated us on our decision to become foster parents then he said YOU PASSED with no violations!! Hooray!! So we could be parents any day now!!! So crazy how we have waited for this final inspection and now it doesnt seem real that we could get a call and be asked to foster a child even today! keep us in your prayers. we will keep you all updated (sorry no pics on the net b/c of rules but we can snail mail them or email)

rain

so we have had the best weather and today it is rainy...it is still semi warm. but yesterday i picked out capris for today. and david and i are going on a date tonight we have a gift certificate to a seasonal restaurant that reopened last weekend. they have an awesome early bird special but they call it first seating. it is you choice of 10 meals, salad, bread, dessert, beverage for $20! it is such a great deal. we went last year for our anniversary and still have $ left!! i am pretty excited and then we are going to come home and watch a movie or maybe we will watch old seasons of lost we have one season on dvd. we watched lost last night and i am so sad if claire is really dead. what a bummer. i love lost but i hate it all at the same time.

i learned something new today

i mowed the grass today. i learned that lawnmowers can propel themselves or you can choose to push with your own strength. i learned that you are supposed to "double back" so as not to miss sections. and i learned that it is really really hard to start a lawnmower. thank goodness for my husband to start it every time i stalled out. our grass was a little long and i am a little not strong.

happy earth day

hug a tree today! or if you live in the desert hug a cactus! or if you live at the beach hug a sand dune? i dont know bear with me folks. i have been researching hybrid vehicles lately not that we are going to be getting a new car anytime soon, but some day i will get a new car and it will be a hybrid or an all electric vehicle. we had an earth day celebration in our county on saturday i had to miss it but melissa joy and megan went. so what can we do to make our earth a better place? recycle? but cool recycled goods - i bought some shirts as presents for babies in my life that were made of recycled cotton and printed with bio degradable ink.
- Drink more water from reusable glassware. It's great for your bank account, your health, and your planet. The average American consumed more than 400 beverage bottles and cans in 2006, leaving behind wasted glass, plastic, steel, and aluminum. That adds up to excessive amounts of fossil fuels and hydropower for mining, processing, refining, shaping, shipping, storing, refrigerating, and disposing of those materials. Of course, changing your drinking habits both at home and at work is applicable to just about every other habit, as well. You've heard it before and you'll hear it again: Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
-Walk, bike, and carpool. In the United States, the car represents one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, you don't have to give up your car for a healthier planet, just expand your transportation options. You can significantly reduce your emissions by commuting to work. Try combining trips to minimize emissions, which are greatest at the beginning of a journey before the engine has reached optimum temperature and efficiency. When purchasing your next car, make it a fuel-efficient one. Hybrid cars can get twice the fuel efficiency of the average new car, cut greenhouse gas emissions by half or more, and reduce urban air pollutants. Carpooling saves energy, cuts on additional pollution, and allows you to take a turn as a passenger instead of driving everyday. Car-sharing (not pooling) is available in numerous U.S. cities. Car-sharing enables you to rent a car just when you need it. Each car-share vehicle displaces four to eight privately held cars, requiring less parking area and creating less road congestion. If you live within an hour's bicycle ride to the office (~10 miles), consider biking to work one or more days a week.
- Inflate your car tires. When walking or biking isn't feasible, you can do something to better protect the Earth while driving. Take a step in the right direction by inflating your car tires. Pumping them up can improve your gas mileage by about 3.3 percent -- a savings of about 7 cents per gallon. It's the right thing to do for your wallet and the right thing to do for the Earth.

these are just from one website. there are lots of different websites for keeping our earth clean.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hope you are wearing green today or else you will probably get pinched today. When i was little my mom always made green eggs and ham for st. patty's day and cornbeef and potatoes. i never really like either but my mom tried so hard. i think eventually we all were too picky for the green eggs and ham, but my brother still likes cornbeef and potatoes. i think it is too fatty. anyway this just reminds me that when i have kids i want to have fun traditions for them on holidays because even though i dont like eggs or ham now, i felt so special that my mom did this for me. if anyone has any traditions they want to share let me know. thanks.

old pictures are fun

why is it so much fun to look at old pictures? i was helping mary last night with a collage for melissa joy for her yearbook since she is a senior. we had such a great time looking at davids pictures and melissa joys from when they were little. it is so fun. so when i got home i pulled out my scrapbook from 2001 the first year david and i were married. i love looking at pictures and i love my scrapbooks...it is a lot of work but so worth it. i went on snapfish and decided to post some old pics for others to enjoy also.

life

so i have been a slacker. mostly life is routine we have been busy with church and work. we got two days of snow which was so nice i love when everything is all covered and pretty. i have had the chance to hang out with megan and baby connor a lot which is very nice! in caravan we learned about owls and my kids loved the song i brought i think we sang it 100 times. we had a meeting with the foster care agency today and they did an indepth home study and measured our rooms and asked us a lot of questions. we still have to give them copies of every important document and then get physicals. then we have one more meeting where we have to do a timed paper at the same time...i guess no cheating. somewhere in there we will start classes. other then that how about the oscars i am rooting for juno but i havent seen a lot of the other movies. you can vote for who you want to win on msn.

dropping a lap top

hmmm. this is probably not a good idea but i have done it twice in one week. i got this cool new desk and i sit at the couch and the desk is called an air desk it is perfect height for working on the couch but then my phone rings and i trip over the wires of my computer to try to answer it and boom down goes my lap top. the first time it closed and turned off but the second time it landed just right. poor computer.

hi friends. i am back in nj and i am so tired! it is so cold! other then that i am happy to be back! church was great today and it is nice to see friends and family. i got my christmas presents that i had opened but i forgot what i had gotten. i got a cute purse i had forgotten about and bath towels. oh and i got a feather comforter from big dave that is soooo nice and warm. i guess that is a big bonus since it is sooo cold. i have some gift cards that i am looking forward to using. hope everyone had a great december and a fantastic january! i enjoyed visiting friends and family in CA!! missed seeing the smiths though. ok so if you feel like checking out an awesome blog go to wearethegoing.com. enjoy!
