Missing My Husband

I am so missing my husband. He has gone to New Bern, NC to pick up his parents. They have been sailing around in the Bahamas since the last week in October. I have missed them so much! We are so glad that they are coming back for awhile. Now I just miss James. He'll be back tomorrow evening though, if all goes as planned. I hope it does. I don't like being here by myself at all. =(

I know I haven't blogged in over a month. So I will get you all caught up on things here. Our fish Zebedee pasted away a few weeks ago. I believe he ate too much. Sad I know, but we have another fish now. He's really ugly so we've named him, Judas the Scariest. It just seemed to fit. LOL

Last weekend was a lot of fun for me. My five sisters and I decided to have a girls only weekend. It was so much fun! We all went to Ruston, La, my oldest sister Janel lives there in the house that we all grew up in. We went to lot of garage sales, got our nails done, and just spent time together.

It was a weekend we all needed. I just wish we didn't have to drive 12 hours to get there. I think we have decided that this is something we need to do at least every couple of years. I'm glad. I don't want to lose the closeness that we have as sisters. A sister is a special kind of friend. I wouldn't want to live my life without each and every one of them.

I know it's been awhile since I posted anything more then pictures. So lets see what I can come up with. Marriage is finally starting to sink in a little. As I said before James and I would like to build a house. A process that I thought would be a little easier, and we haven't even started yet. I know that we will get it all figured out. It'll just take time. Right now things aren't going as quickly as I would like. Maybe the Lord is trying to teach me patience. As a result, I am going to keep my eyes open for a full-time job. Right now I am working two part-time jobs. I know that I could be doing better on my part of all this. I just don't want to get stuck in a full-time job that I don't like. With my part-time jobs, one of them I like fine, and the other not so much. I just don't really know what I would like to do. I guess I probably should have gone to school a couple of years ago. But I can't change that now. I could go now, but that would slow the house thing down even more, and I really don't want to do that. So who knows what will happen.

Aside from all of that. My younger sister Lydia had just finished high school. (YaY!!!). So soon hopefully she will be moving on to bigger and better things in life. (Like School) !!!

guess that's enough for now. hopefully it won't be so long before my next post.

Lydia came over yesterday to work on her graduation invitations, and we took a few pictures.
