Nerves cause me to cook with butter...

So I grilled pork chops in garlic herb butter and made mashed potatoes... All good comfort food. Prayers needed that everything went ok this evening. I need someone to call me back!!!!!

Happy 4th!

Well I spent all day yesterday at my friend Jennifer's house. We had a wonderful time! Watching all the fast and the furious movies and cooking! Well actually she cooked, I ate it! Her husband and I were her taste testers! I had so much fun hanging out with their sweet girl Charlotte. It was fun to have some little girl time. I even got to put one of my famous princess braids in her hair.

Then this morning instead of leaving right away. I hung around. Had some wonderful egg frittata. Scrumptious coffee. And of course Jennifer and I had to finish watching our last movie out of the six. By the time I left it was almost lunchtime! Then I made the dreaded mistake of going to Walmart. But I was patient and got what I needed. I chose to go there on the fourth. So what should I expect? LOL

Then once I got groceries put away. And I was finally home putting up my feet. I got a call from my friend Cassandra. We essentially kidnapped me for my home. Andrade me to fireworks. And I am so glad she did! We had a blast.  She and her husband have three boys. And we are all crazy!

I am anxious for Sunday to arrive to have my two little pipsqueaks here. 

I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful fourth of July!

Jenny

Fun day with friends!

Well I got loads of sleep that felt absolutely amazing.  Woke up, coffee and then off for a fun day. Movie, lunch, fast and the furious movies, dinner and of course wine! I had some fun time with this cute girl! 

Now time for bed! I'm tired! 

Churching...

Has to be one of the hardest things to do. Find a church where you feel like you belong. Thought i had found that with mission. But the ex and his fiancé go there too. At first it didn't bother me becAuse we would end up in different services. But it's come to a point where I have not been going because quite frankly I dont want to run into them. 

So today I headed back to the old spring of life campus which was taken over by Christ church if the valley. Or CCV.  I was pleasantly surprised that it felt good. Even though I may have aged a few tears, it was till good. Sometimes you just need to unload your worries on God. And know that he's got this. Even though you don't understand people, friends, men and kids. God knows that in the end he will take care of you. 

Let's hope that next week is as promising as this week. Church wise! Otherwise I just want clarity about my future. That's what I'm praying for. 

Karate belt test time!!!!

What a great day!! Boys did awesome at their belt tests!!  I am one proud mama!!! 

Jackson's turn!!!

Legos, tutoring, errands, pedi, oil change

Well it's 3 and I feel like I've accomplished nothing. Even though I have several items crossed off my list. I'm currently awaiting my oil change and to see howuch new break pads in the front are going to set me back. Yuck!!

Well the biggest part of my day was connecting with Jodi. So glad I can save the money on a hotel And stay with her and Chris in San deigo! I plan on just taking the kids to the beach for the whole weekend. I wanted to FIRM up a trip out there. The kids need some beach time and so do I! I will cross my fingers and hope the Robert will make some iem for us. But who knows. I will never understand men and their ways of thinking. 

Here is Jackson's revised NAVY ship. He's so proud of it! He's a master Lego builder!!
