Oh my goodness! I am so freaking tired! It just hit me. Almost 1.5 hours ago Jessica took Anabel with her while she went out to eat and to a store, so i could have time to pack up the house. Well I've got a ton done, basically out of boxes.

I got a bad sore throat which isn't helping the matter. I think i got it from helping mom today in a very dusty and dog hair filled room. It started getting sore there, and i think that is what did it. It's not fun! My back is killing me! LOL Heh I'm complaining but really i am happy that i am able to do all this stuff. I've been so stressed that things weren't getting done, and now today I've got a lot done. Thanks to Jessica!

But there is still ton more to do, so i better get to it! Oh I'm so tired.....

There is so much that needs to be done it isn't funny. And my energy is really low. It's hard for me to have to 'want too', and i hate it. So many things that only I am amble to do at the moment.

We have to be moved out and the apartment cleaned in a week. And i haven't been able to manage getting the apartment half packed. I keep telling myself that I'm going to clean the apartment but not freak over it. The managers come and do a final 'walk thru' and it's as though the put a magnifying glass over everything and they always find something to complain about and take out of your deposit. I asked if if i could miss the 'walk thru' and just let him handle it, because it makes me to stressed out.

Tomorrow we are going to try and get the storage unit and then we can start bring boxes and stuff over there. Tomorrow also we are suppose to go over to mom and dads to help him and also hopefully we can get the room we will be staying in, more in order.

And amongst all of this Thanksgiving is also next week, and we have two. One with the Risch family and one with the Brown family.

Haaa it's crazy! I can only pray for God to give us stamina and keep us in good spirits!

My favorite things this week:

• Teething Tablets
• Decaf Pepsi
• Oversized Shirts
• Sewing
• Netflix
• Burgers
• Funny faces
• Giggles
• Fall leaves
• Johnny Jumper

Oh the business of life!

Man so many things are going on in our lives it's crazy!

• Anabel is growing and changing every day.
• Bob does full time schooling and work.
• I am in the process of packing the house up because we have to be moved out by Dec. 1st. We still don't know for sure were we will go. We are on a waiting list for another apartment. If we don't get it then we will be moving out to Mom and Dads until we can find a place.
• Then me and Bob are now Youth Leaders along with Sherri at church and switch back and forth teaching every Sunday morning.
• I head up sending care packages every month to a missionary family in Africa, and along with that i have to talk about the family on every 1st Sunday service of the month.
• And now there is a very big opportunity for me, involving the coffee shop.

So much going on! Goodness! And so much to pray about as well. God has truly blessed us though and i see his hand in our in a great way. I'm excited about what the future has in store for us!

I'm also excited about the holidays and little stressed at the time. Since Bob is the manager of the stock room (at Wal-Mart) it's going to be very hard for him to get time off for the holidays! You know coming from the family i did, holidays are huge and very important. I always want Bob to have the holiday off along with the surrounding days so he can join in the festivities. Seeing how spread out the family is, and now that i have two families, things get even more difficult. But I know God will work things out though.

I'm excited about gifts!!! I plan on making homemade gifts and I'll probably make them a 'couples' gift like before.

I've let some of family know that as far as Anabel goes, i want all her gifts hand made. That makes them more special and usual keeps the quantity down as well, LOL. So far most weren't all that thrilled at my wishes. See i don't want Anna to have a ton of tons and i really want to weed out store bought stuff. I gave dad ideas like wooden animals or block... wooden puzzles, those sorts of thing. Grandpa is handy at that sort of stuff, I'm sure he can come up with something.

I've got patterns for stuffed animals and sock dolls and those sorts of things.

Bob is going to be in charge of making the kid toys. Heidi already gave one idea of wooden swords.... i thought that was a neat idea.

I just hope i will have enough time.

And i really worry about were i will live for the holidays. I hope to be settled, were every I'll bee... but of course i hope it's in my own place!

Things I Did Today:

1. Went to a Funeral

2. Shopped at a Natural Goods Store

3. Cleaned my house

4. Made Homemade Baby Wipes

5. Made Homemade Shower Gel

6. Started growing indoors a mix of sprouts that is called ‘Sandwich Mix’

I also did numerous loads of dishes and laundry. Trying to get caught up and back into my ‘groove’ from being away from my home for a week.

Oh it’s good to be home! But there is so much cleaning and putting things up that were packed! My hubby spent a lot of time here while i was house sitting for the week, so i had a bit of cleaning and picking up after him when i got back.

It’s nice to be here with my own things around me, feels so homey! And Anabel seems to really be happy to be back.

His Last Pottery

My 22nd Birthday Get Together

The 15th my Mom, my Brother along with his wife and their two kids came down to my house for my birthday. It was great!

We went out to eat, then came back to my house and played games for awhile. Then both the guys were so tired that they ended up crashing for an hour while us girls talked and played with the kids.

Later  Bob grilled for everyone. We had T-Bone and Sirloin steak along with avocado salad, baked potatoes, and corn on the cob. It was delicious!

Jessica came over after she got off of work and ate with us. We also played Phase 10 until midnight LOL

I had more fun that night then i have in a LONG time. I am really glad Jess came over to party with us, she always makes things fun :D

We ended up eating steak sandwiches for three days afterwards. And talk about good sandwiches! Steak, tomatoes, some cheddar cheese and mayo… awesome! I don’t think I've had a better sandwich actually!

I hope we all can get together again and play and eat. It was so much fun it makes me want to do it every night… Dad gum it that all my siblings live so far away!
