Not much time...

for blogging these days. Dylan's last day of school is tomorrow. The girls have been done and I began packing up the Discovery Room today. No sniffles here, though. I am VERY excited about the summer and the upcoming school year as a 4K teacher! God just confirms every morning to me that that is exactly what He wants me to do! I love it when He makes the path so clear! I just thank Him for the opportunity to work with such fabulous people, especially my boss. She is just so awesome--there are no words!

Summer work schedule begins next week but there will still be time for what I make time for and that includes Brooke's 11th birthday and Jeff's 40th birthday coming up in the same weekend. Also looking forward to the Nielsen's weekly pool parties and just everyday summer fun.

Jeff got great news today--his company got a contract to build a bridge in Massachusettes which means two years worth of work for the company and some significant overtime for him. We are not sure when that will start. It could be next week, it could be a few months. But it is definite. God provides! And He sustains and that's basically what we're doing right now.

We are starting to feel like it's time to move again. We are just outgrowing that ltitle house. But we want to be very careful and prayerful about when and where. The house we're in now--it was a total God thing, the location, the timing and everything and I'll have to share that sometime. And we have been so blessed to have wonderful landlords. In fact, sometimes I'm overwhelmed by God's blessings in the people he surrounds us with--landlords, bosses, friends, dance teachers, family, etc. And I have been feeling for awhile now that it's time to move but the urgency lately is just impressing upon me that I know I must remain faithful in prayer that God will lead us to the house he has picked out for us. Until then, please pray that He will sustain us where we are and help us maintain the space! LOL

My van is another thing that's been worrying me lately. It's still going good and that's yet another testimony that I need to type up and share sometime--another God thing! But it DOES have over 300,000 miles on it, is 16 years old and the wear and tear is really, I mean REALLY starting to show. I have really enjoyed it and I have really enjoyed not having a car payment for the last 5 years (we got the van 3 years ago--about ready to go into debt for a car again when it was practically dumped in our laps by some more wonderful friends!) I am so not looking forward to more debt (sorry Dave Ramsey, I've tried and continue to try and stick to your plan but it just aint for normal folks like us! Maybe when I get my first book deal! lol) but I'm afraid the time is quickly coming upon us. I would love for the van to hold out until God puts us in our next home but honestly, I'll be grateful if it makes it through the summer! And what a hot summer it will be--did I mention it has no air? No big deal, throw my hat on and roll down the windows. I've done it before!

Nonetheless, Lord, I will STILL praise you! You are awesome and wonderful and all those words that I just don't have right now. I am so thankful and so humbled for all that you do not just in my life but in the lives of those around me.

And to all my lurky-lous out there that NEVER comment---I love you, too and hope you find God's blessings this week!
