fancy meeting you here...

wow...its been so very long. i can't believe how long its been since i blogged last. things have been busy since we got home from christmas. the additional body in our home has been somewhat of a challenge but we're working through it the best way we know how.



tyler has been working now for about a month (thank goodness). he found a job at a family owned barbeque joint that just happened to be opening a new location less than 5 miles from our house. coincidence? i think not. :) so he's here to stay...at least for now. haha (just kidding).



my grandparents came to visit a couple of weeks ago and we had a fantastic time together. they always wear me out during their visits. we did an incredible amount of shopping (which i didn't mind in the least). we ate a lot and walked alot...which of course, cancelled out all the eating we did. unfortunately it was cold and rainy the majority of the time they were here so we weren't able to make it out to the beach. we managed one sunny, nice day to traipse around downtown and see the sights. this friday my mom and dad will be arriving. i'll be keeping my fingers crossed and be muttering many a prayer for nice weather while they're here.

other than that, things have just been normal. between work, church, the gym and trying to keep the house clean i find myself feeling overwhelmed sometimes. it seems as though things pile up on me all at the same time all in the same day. funny how that works, huh? and i feel like i leave such a boring life...

we did experience a loss at work rather unexpectedly this week. my friend and co-worker's husband died sunday morning. he was a cancer survivor and had been in remission for over 5 years but came down with pneumonia that his weakened heart just couldn't fight off. his family is so very sweet and it breaks my heart to see them hurt. the funeral is tomorrow and most definitely won't be easy so would you please keep this sweet family in your prayers as they grieve and heal?

thank you.

sorry this post has been so random...its just been so long since i posted last. i'll try to be better about posting once the visiting and such dies down. :)

until next time, be blessed.
