My new House

So I wanted to share some pics of my new house that I love soooooooo Much. The Lord blessed us with the tings that we wanted in a house. I am posting pics of the most important rooms to me. The kitchen in #1. And it is nice and big with lots of storage.

My living room. With no TV. It is absolutly wonderful. It has amazing light and is very cozy. We put the TV downstairs and so it make upstair like a little retreat :)

My laundry room. I just painted it. What do you think of the color? I even have an area for folding clothes.

Then YEAH, I finally got a big bedroom. My first time ever :D

A Man of Many Words

Have I ever shared with you that my husband is a wonderful Poet? He puts things so elegantly.
I thought I would share a poem he wrote for me many years ago.

I'd chase a thousand sunsets, it's really not that far

Just as long as I know at the end is where you are

I'd bring the moon and the stars to you and put them in your hand

I just don't think that'd be enough to make you understand

What you do to me girl, I've never felt this before

The days before you came I don't remember anymore

No matter where you run to, no matter where you go

Wherever this world takes you I just want you to know

I'd swim a thousand oceans just to give you my heart

No matter where you are baby, its really not that far

Your blue eyes could drag me through the desert on my knees

As long as I had one last look before I had to leave

If your face was the last thing that these eyes ever saw

You'd see me smiling down from heaven brighter than the sun

You take my breath away girl every time your near

I want to hold you close and whisper in your ear

No matter where you run, no matter where you go

You'll never be without me, I just want you to know

I'd climb a thousand mountains just to give you my heart

No matter where you go baby, It's really not that far

Just wanted to share what a wonderful poet he is. If you want to check out more of his poetry, go to Glory to God.

Random Thoughts

I had the opportunity to visit Tarrah at the beginning of September after she had baby Ethan. I was able to go and take care of her and her family. This is one of the precious pics I got of her and her new love :)
I just thought this one was cute. Grandpa, Daddy, and little boy all throwing rocks into the Sound.
All trying to see how far they could throw. Although you had to get out of the way of Jacob, because you never knew where his rocks were going :)

So the kids are loving our new house. They have a great yard to play in and lots of space inside. They have gotten very dirty outside lately. We have these huge rhododendrons in the back and the kids love climbing on them. Hannah is a little monkey and Jacob just wants to follow her. Although I still think he is a bit young yet.
We went for a walk yesterday and explored our new neighborhood. It is nice to go for a walk in a neighborhood. We used to live on a main street. Anyway, we found an elementary school just down the hill. So we got to play on the playground and I think they liked the swings the most. Although there were some guys playing baseball and Jacob was pretty fascinated by them.

On the way home we realized that to get to the school was all down hill, so the whole way home was up hill :) And the kids wanted us to carry them. We did not. But it was really fun. When we got home the kids got out their bikes and road them on the cul d sac. That is a new one for us also.

One more random thought. Okay, I was sitting in the living room yesterday, Jeff opened the back door and the cat came in the house, not thinking anything of it. But I looked at her and she was caring a bird in her mouth. It was so disgusting. That is the first time anything like that has happened to me. I started yelling at Jeff to get the cat out. Anyway, that was my trauma for yesterday. We have a ton of birds in our yard, so I hope it doesn't happen again.

On the Move

Okay, sorry it has been so long since I have posted a blog. We have moved. I have been really busy. I had forgot how much I dislike packing and moving and unpacking. Ugh. But we have been in our new house now for 3 weeks and we are unpacked and getting seetled.

We are really enjoying our new house. The kids love it. The Lord has blessed us. When we made a list of the things we wanted, the Lord blessed us with all of it. We have a big back yard that is fully fenced, we have a great kitchen, more that one bathroom, and a garage. And the number one thing we wanted was to be close to our church. When I left church the other night, I left at 8:45pm and got home at 8:48pm. Now that is close :) I will post pics of the house later.

Some of the other things we have been up to lately are:
We are getting more involved at church, Jeff is taking a couple of classes. Hannah is in Awana's and I am a leader in her awanas class, which has been great for both of us.

We have started a home based business. The company is called Market America. I have been very excited about it. We have several products to sell, but I am focusing on Makeup. The makeup line is called Motives and I have been using it and really like it.
Our website is www.marketamerica.com/sjsharon If you want you sould go check it out. Lots of cool stuff. But I have been learning a lot and having a good time.

Anyway, I will post more soon. I promise.
