A quick update

This is going to be a short and quick update.

Not much has been happening right now. I did have an interview for a teaching position for 1st grade in Osnaburg (East Canton) but i did not get it and I am fine with that. It was my first official teaching interview and i was please with how it went and am glad I had the opportunity to do so. I know with God's timing something will come about. I just have to remember to stop and thanks God for all the things I have at this time.

It's been a stressful week at work, but we have managed and we are getting through it.

Matthew had a softball game last night and he was the catcher and he did really well. They did lose but it was fun to watch them. This Saturday he is playing in a tourney in Massillon and we of course are all going to the game. But before going to the game, I am getting my hair done way to early in the morning, then going with mom and Grandma to a card making get together where we are going to learn new folds and then off to the ball game. Saturday night is also the balloon lift off in Louisville and if the wind is blowing the right way they will come over the house and farm here. They usually do and we have the neatest pictures from that too.

That's about it. Told you it was a quick one. Till next time......

Christmas in July with a corn roast

I know that it is August 2nd and the title of this entry is "Christmas in July", but that is what the last week of July consisted of for us. Mom and I kicked it off on July 25th is a Christmas Card morning at friends where we made 12 Christmas cards to add to our collection that we make. That then intrigued me to get my Christmas card planned, cut, stamped and completed, which is what happened over this last weekend of July/Aug. It was fun. We even got Grandma involved and she is half way through hers. Mom and I enjoyed a day of create what you want day with 7 other friends and family members! It was a great day, it started at 9:30 and we worked till about 7:30 and completed lots. Made cards for friends, Christmas cards were being created as well, laughter and stories shared too. It was a great day.

Last night we had a corn roast up at the "barn". It was the first of the sweet corn this year and lets just say between the 6 of us we polished off 16 ears of corn in no time. Grandma sure knows how to make the evening eventful and full of laughter though. She was at the fire ring with dad turning the corn and she stepped back, tripped over a piece of wood and nearly fell in the bucket where the corn was soaking. It was a good thing the pitch fork was there, because she would have been soaked....It took it all out of us not to laugh, but as you can imagine dad and I lost it.

Today we enjoyed just being together as a family. Today we went to church, and then gathered at my parents where we created more cards, the guys played corn hole and rested in the open under God's creation!!

This week is back to the grind and work. Matthew started softball, dad is coaching, i have tennis, church meetings, and who knows what else.

Till next time.....Remember God loves you!
