So much has changed

SO much has changed since I left using blogger. Facebook seems to keep my hooked in its clutches. My mom passed away in May 2014 2 days after her birthday. It has been life changing. Then there is the children changing, adult children changing, hurts, some happiness along the way. I have realized I have only now, I am not promised my next breath, and I need to focus on my children at home and do all I can to help them to become responsible adults. Nothing else matters anymore. Things that seemed important are not. SO with that, I move on....

Our current family at home consists of DH and I, 3 children, and 3 cats. No dogs for now. Life is fast paced lately. We have a used appliance store, that sells reconditioned appliances. it takes so much of our time.  When not working we try to spend quality time with the children. Rebecca is now 12, Carl 7, and Cassia turns 4 in just a few days. Time is moving at such a fast rate.

Since we have such huge expenses with having a store we have decided to cut expenses and either sell or rent our home. This will enable us to move to the loft above the store. We have so much we need to do, but I am so ready to do it. I need that change of scenery. A fresh start.

With that I will end this note and do another post on Cassia. Ugh she is my one!!!

Redo of the old

So, I have started on my projects, Finally! Yesterday I did Carl's dresser. He is into Thomas The Train, so yep, that is what we did.

It came out reall nice, and he loves it. I went and got green and yellow to do his shelves! I can't wait! His room will look so cute!

Yesterday Here and Now

The last time I posted here I had announced we were opening an Appliance store. We did and struggled to get through December. It's been stressful at times but overall fun. We have met so many people and made a friend as well. It's been quite an experience. It's hard work for me. I work, Homeschool, and run a home. But God has blessed us.

Our house expansion has come to a halt. I wish we could do some more on it but right now we have to focus on the store. We are hoping to be able to eventually hire someone to help us with renovations. I will be so glad to have that happen. We need that living room!

We have a new granddaughter. Amelia Ruth! She is a doll. Bella Grace is suffering the usual new sibling blues. Belli turned 4 in January! Where does the time go!

The rest of the Kiddo's are doing good. In May, Rebecca will be 11. Now that just seems crazy. Carl 6, and Cassia 2. But the one that gets me is Samuel. He is 17 now. How did that happen? Not fair I tell ya!

Over all everyone is fine. The enemy fights us, but God! If you think of us, please take a moment to say a prayer for us. Thank you! God bless!
