Holy Busy, Busy, Busy

Hello! Seems like forever since Ive been on my blog.  I dont think I have that many readers so I'm sure the disappointment isnt much.  :-) 
Went out in service, long day today.  I ran out of gas on my way to the service meeting.  Never a good way to start the day.  Especially when its 90 degrees and humid outside and I have a little boy in the back seat who decided to be cranky.  Dad saved the day however.   Brought us gas in time for me to be very late to the meeting.  So late in fact that they were gone.  But, I ran into them at the gas station.  A group wouldn't have worked anyway with me and my kiddos and them in their car.  Someone would have had to ride on the roof.   ( I know....I thought that would be fun to)   So I got a group together and we did calls and territory.  Had a pretty successful day.....well, successful if you count the roads we scouted out in my new territory.  My new territory mind you that is 80% ACTUAL ATV trails.  Anybody up for ATV witnessing??? Heck yeah!  Oh my that would be so fun wouldn't it??   We did ice house witnessing in Rice Lake, why not trails around here??   Anyhow, I digress....  Sarah got a good call.  Thats always exciting.  After- we worked out....  hahahahahaha... It was terrible.  We sucked.  But we did it.  We both felt so good and motivated when we worked out together regularly so we are starting again.  6:30am Mon, Wed and Fri.  I am fully prepared to be the work out nazi again.  Ive decided to train for a long run coming up in October.  So between working out with Sarah and my own running we will see what happens....  In all my spare time that is. 

Went to Sarah and Mikes for dinner and than some friends stopped over at my house and chatted for awhile.  

The kiddos are in bed and Im off to finish my bible reading.  Love and miss everyone!!!!!  
Erin I hope your new house is perfect, I cant wait to come see it on Wed.!!!  
 

Im home!!!

Just got home a bit ago.  Picking up my babies, I didnt realize how much I missed them until they came running out to see me.  I swear they have grown up in just a week.  Linkons talking about everything and Purdee seems like a nine year old.  I see them and realize that they arent babies anymore.  They are little people who are growing up way to fast.  I couldnt be more proud of them. 
 
I had such an amazing weekend.  It ended to soon.  The convention was breath taking.  The best one i have e...

Elijah

June 27, 2011
So this morning after I read my day text, I was reading a magazine.  Theres the article in the July 1st mag called "He took comfort in His God"  Everybody must read it.  It was so wonderful my heart welled up as I read it.  A few days ago a friend and I were talking about the great tribulation and what we can expect.  She stated she was afraid.  I agreed. After all, we all have our moments.  But after reading this article there is no fear.  Not a trace of it.   Here Elijah had the wicked quee...

Arachnophobia

June 27, 2011
I was sick this morning, woke up with a headache and a lovely cold.  After stumbling out of bed to go to the bathroom....mind you, not yet fully awake I looked ahead...only to see the biggest spider I have ever seen outside of the zoo or a horror movie.... I can handle the normal large spider.  I often kill them for my mother or before Sarah sees them so she wont freak out.  But this one stopped my breath.  I called up to my dad to come here.  Now, dad is also sick and his RA is terrible.  So...

What a silly day.  Brought my kids to their father in Esko and than went to meet the group for service.  I was told to head out to Foxboro and meet a group there.  Got there, met them, laughed, talked, it was lovely- only to drive twenty minutes away and realize we were headed back to town forty five minutes away from my jeep and wouldnt be heading back anytime soon.  SO we drove all the way back to my jeep and I was sent on a lone mission to my studies house while the group went their own wa...

Anyone else need a beer???

Been busy the past few days.  Went to my study yesterday and she forgot she had doctor appointments so she wasn't home. bummer!  I was excited and nervous!  I spent the morning doing a lot of research on bible studies and trusting in Jehovah and what is truly required of a teacher....especially one who is still learning so many new thinks herself.  Even though I didnt have the study I felt so close to Jehovah.  Every day is feeling His love in my life and being so undeservedly blessed for it....

crazy weather

June 21, 2011
Ok its insane outside today.  The wind is blowing so hard the trees are practically bending all the way over.  And as soon as they stand back up, they fly back the other way.  Im enjoying the storm.  If its going to be anything but sunny outside at least make it a great storm.  
We are going to Jason and Pattis house tonight.  My darling nephew has his first talk.  To be honest a bit nervous about going, not to see Henry.  Goodness, I adore him.  But those kids look so much like Leah all I can...

service

Its freezing outside!!!  I think summer forgot to come this year.  
Headed out in service today.  Looking forward to it.  We had a talk yesterday about keepin awake in the ministry.  So I've decided to make a bolder attempt at my return visits.  Im always afraid of coming on to strong with them, but what if I'm not pushing it enough?  Thats why I like listening to some of the regular pioneers at the door.  They are so good at it.  What they say flows and is polite but gets their point across. ...

Just got back from a get together in our hall.  A bunch of others came to.  It was so perfect.  I LOVE how close knit this hall is. You know how in big halls, you dont always get a chance to talk to everyone?  Theres so many people to say hi to.  Sometimes it feels like your just making the rounds.  But here everyone is so involved.  You have time to stop and talk with everyone.  And you actually want to.  I hung out with Bill Nelson today.  A fabulous older brother in our hall.  He is quickl...
