LIFE

What can I say, life has been a roller coaster lately. I have so many things going on that I don't even know where to start. We are settled back into the house in Drumright. The house in Sapulpa is a done deal. We did the closing yesterday. I must say that God surely worked that one out. It was such a smooth transaction. The couple who bought our house was amazed how all there furniture seemed to fit so perfectly. And I must say it looks amazing with all her stuff in it. I so love just having one house payment again. It is so nice and less stressful. Why we had two, still not quite sure at times. It was nice living up there for last 6 months though. So we are back to living by ourselves again. I must say time has flown by and I will be ready to move on when the good Lord sees fit. He has a lot to work out for us. But I have all confidence in him.

On another note I have had a really bad day last night and today. The devil is tormenting my mind and I know it is him. I just need to have a little more faith in God. So if you think about me just say a little prayer I am needing it. I don't want to go into to much detail on here but those of you who I am close to know what I am talking about. This is my trial right know that I must bear I just hope I can do it accordingly. I will post some on the house soon I just haven't felt up to down loading the pictures yet. I am sorry hopefully soon though.

I'M BACK!!

Yes I have finally moved and my internet is up and running. I will be posting some pictures as soon as I can. We are still working on this house and getting things organized. I didn't get to take all the pictures I wanted to because I simply got busy and forgot. Thanks to Chantel we got a lot done and moved. She was a life saver.

I am still having some problems so life has felt as if it is on hold. But I feel good and Elisha is finally better. We have been very blessed lately.

Clutter be gone!

Lately it has felt as if my life has been one long trial. Every time I think things are getting better something else happens. I must say normally we are a very healthy family. But this last month and a half has been a different story. I keep telling myself what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger. And so far we are all still alive. On a good note my Elisha is doing much better and I am so thankful for this. I sometimes don't appreciate him enough and lately I have realized how much this little man does for me. He is such a good boy who wants to please his momma. He helps me out so much with the house and Samuel.

I am going to "will" myself to feel better. And get things done today. So wish me luck! I will take a picture of all the work I must do. Lets just say we never finished setting things up in the house when we moved here. We were waiting on the shop to get empty. So the garage has slowly gotten full. With stuff!!!

Thursday Get Here!

I am so excited to see my sister in law Chantel. She is a lifesaver, she is coming out on thursday to help me with this move. We have so much to do. I am hoping to have some of it done before she gets here. But there is so much to do. I am so glad she agreed to come and help. I hope she knows how much I appreciate it. So I just thought I would say THANK YOU!!! And oh ya thanks to Dale for parting with her for just a week. I promise I will let her return...hehehe.......

They are starting to move some stuff out of the shop today and I am so glad. We have lived in this house for almost 7 months and during that time we have not been using the shop. The previous owners asked to use it for about 3 months and we agreed. And know the next thing we know it has been almost 7 months and they are still not out. I am hoping they will be all out by monday but that might be wishful thinking. I sure hope not. Mind you they are real sweet people with good excuses for the delay. And we have been very patient but our time of owning it is limited.

Hurry up thursday I want Chantel here!

God sent a Angel!

I was reflecting on the past month and all the trials that has come our way. At the end of August Lee got sick. And soon after that Elisha got the same bug Lee had. It seemed to last forever at least to me it did. When my men started to feel better I got sick with the same thing. Lee's cousin Tiffany had planned for awhile to come up and spend a week with me. So I prayed that I would feel good while she was here. She got here on a Tuesday evening and the next day on Wednesday I had my miscarriage. As I reflect back I believe God sent her here to help me. She was amazing to help fix things to eat, help take care of the kids, run them some where if needed. And help clean the house when needed. She was my angel that I needed.

On another note in between this time Lee got poison sumac. That stuff is a mess it is just miserable to have. He suffered with it for awhile. When he felt better and hunting season got here. Of course he couldn't resist the urge to go back into the woods. But as we all know he is a wonderful father who wants to share this experience with his oldest son. So on monday evening (opening day) my two men suited up to out in the woods. They saw nothing but had a good time together. Well on wednesday morning when Elisha woke up I noticed he had a rash on his face. Nothing to big but I just knew he got into something out in the woods. By thursday his face was swollen. Of course we know what it is since daddy just had this a few weeks ago. He has poison sumac also. It is friday morning and he looks my little monster (ogar). He is not to fond of that word. I tease him it is just in time for Halloween. No need in buying him a costume. hehehe..... But seriously my heart goes out to him. This is miserable to have. He is such a good boy who does not complain. He just must wait for the process to leave his body.

This is just another reason I am so glad to sell the land and move back to Oregon. Lee gets poison Ivy almost every year since he has decided to be a hunter. And it is a trial for me to have the patience with it. I might not have the pain of it but it hinders so many things in our life when he gets it.

But on a happy note we are on the mend of all this sickness. We are about to move back to Drumright and hopefully the house will get done sooner with us there and sell fast.

Praying Helps

I was getting a little sad the other day so I said a little prayer to the Lord in my head. I have known for a long time that we were going to move to Oregon. Well now I know for sure God gave us that confirmation that we were wanting. But now we have this waiting game going on. Every now and then I will doubt myself about this move. Why is it taking so long? Is the house in Drumright ever going to get done? When is things going to fall in place? When is our family going to be well? Like I said so many questions to myself. So I said this little prayer to the Lord. And guess what happened today? I got a phone call telling us that the house should be ready to close in 1-2 weeks. So know we have to get in gear. This was a sign from God to motivate us and get things done sooner.

I am so excited yet so overwhelmed at the same time. But who can be picky. I am ready to see some progress. So starting tomorrow I will start going thru things and packing what I can. So just say a prayer for me that I have the strength to get things done. And yes I will have some help. My wonderful Sister-in-law Julie is coming to help tomorrow. Thanks Julie! I will try to remember to take pictures of our mess to show you what I have gathered over the years.

The sum of this post is that this little prayer put much peace in my heart. One house almost gone, just one more to go.

Things we buy!

My husband saw a commercial the other day on the new monopoly game. So he of course had to buy it. I must say it is pretty cool. They do it with a credit card. No money mess! I hate how you have all this money everywhere. The kids and Lee played the other day and had so much fun. So maybe now I can sell some of our old monopoly games (monopoly jr., reg. monopoly, star wars monopoly). This is a pick of my family having a fun game night.

Hunting Season/ Anniversary

It is official it is Hunting Season here in Oklahoma. And yes my husband is hunter. I am praying I have the patience with him this year. We have so much to do and the time is getting close for things to be getting done. He decided to go out in our woods with Elisha this evening. So hopefully they will at least see something. Praying they bring a dear home for dinner.

On another note yesterday was my 12th anniversary. We didn't do anything but spend the day together. Lee went out and bought us some dinner and brought it home to me and he brought me some beautiful flowers. I must say despite his hunting he is a good husband who spoils me rotten. So maybe I should have some patience with him. Besides I love the deer meat. It is my favorite so maybe I shouldn't complain. I am just used to him always being with me. This is what happens when your spoiled, your wife complains when she doesn't get her way.



These are the beautiful flowers my honey bought me.

Sooo Tired of being down!

If any of you really know me, then you know I can't stand to be cooped up. But I still am, every time I get out I come home so wore out. I went to Sam's with my husband to pick up a few grocery items. Mind you Lee did almost everything. I just walked around and I felt like I ran a marathon. I can't seem to get my energy back. Then all the sudden my body decided to get a head cold on top of everything else. I plan on staying in as much as possible this week. But I better be feeling good by next week I have a house to pack up. And a yard sale to get ready for. Thank you for all your prayers and I am sure I will be better soon.
