My Last Day (of Being 38)

Happy Valentine's Day!  OR as the Princess informed me this morning.... "Happy Singles Awareness Day!!"

Either way, I hope your day is happy!!

Today is my last day to be 38 years old. At 2:45am tomorrow morning, I will be 39! I will be starting my final year of my 30s!  OH MY!  Where did the time go?

This year has been interesting! 

At home, I have been able to do more.
I've cooked more (and everyone survived!)!!
I've gotten outside more--and consequently sneezed more!
I even coached the Princess's rec league softball team last Spring! 
I've been happier, mostly!

At church, I've been more active.
I'm working in Children's church.
I'm singing on the Praise Team (in rotation). :)
I'm heading up VBS this year. (That will technically be when I'm 39,  but I've started plans already.)
I'm helping head up the 500 stockings for families this year. (That will also be when I'm 39.... but still!)

At work, I'm probably doing less.
I am not full time, so I work fewer days than I would with a "real" job. However, I have covered a couple of long term sub things. I'm still hopeful for a full time job.

I'm reading more.

I'm writing more.

I'm planning more.

I'm thinking more.

But, on this final day of being 38, I'm hoping that 39 will be my best year yet. (Of course, I say that EVERY year!  Sometimes, it actually works out that way.)

38 was great in some ways, but in others, like being sick all summer, it was horrible. I'm planning to remember the good..... and I'm not going to focus on the bad.

39 is going to be great! I can just tell!

Here's to today being the best LAST day of being 38!! 

Make today great!

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi

My Strange Collection--But Not Strange to Me!

Recently (just a minute ago) I visited Avr over at Just to Write . Today she is talking about things we collect. She collects unicorns. So in her comments today, I added my comment: Well... I collect Salt & Pepper shakers. I have been collecting them as long as I can remember. The rule is that they have to be unusual AND I don't buy them for myself! They have to come from other people....My Grandmother has the beginnings of my collection at her house. Some of them date back to WWII. Her uncle sent them here from overseas when he was fighting in WWII. So that is why I started collecting.... HOWEVER... I too have a collection of unicorn stuff. It has been packed up for a couple years now. I have seriously thought about putting it on eBay just to get rid of it. I started collecting those on my 7th bday. A friend gave me one for my bday and I loved it. Then I would see them everywhere. Then it became an obsession for a while! lol Now I think I'm just going to stic
