It's already going to be mid-april already. I cannot believe how fast this year is going, but i'm loving it thus far. This year has been good to me. I'm really excited for everything. Work has been well and i'm really comfortable with my part time hours. I think they work great with kids. We have been pre-approved for a loan so I'm very excited. We're hoping to start looking soon this month and have contact with a Realtor already.

Last night all four of us were up late. I was gathering up some old toys, accessories, and junk that just sits around for this year's garage sale. I'm planning on pulling out all of my daughter's baby clothes and selling half of that stuff b/c there's so many and i know i'll buy new stuff if we happen to have a baby girl again. Bobby put together Thomas's high chair and Emmy's bed once again.
Thomas is getting heavy for the play pin so we ask that she sleeps in her bed b/c she's the big sister and guess what, she made it through the night on her bed w/ no complains. I'm proud of her! It was so much easier w/ Thomas on our bed w/ us. He started nagging for milk at 7 and i made it and gave it to him and he laid there, held his bottle until he was done. I'm so proud of him as well.

I've decided to make more use of my life by volunteering some of my time to help out non-profit organizations. I joined Redeemer's Planning Committee again in preparation of the Neighborhood Festival. I also want to reach out to "Feeding the Starving Children" organization. What I do at work does not make me feel useful an anyway to my community so I feel like this way, I'll be able to connect and feel like I'm doing something good in my life and for my community.

May is a pretty busy month. We'll see what happens once I get my work schedule. I want to do quite a bit. God has been working my family's hearts this year. I'm happy to see everyone be productive and wanting to put action to his work. God is Good. I wouldn't know how I'd be if it wasn't for him. Thank you Lord!

Spring Fever!!!

Tomorrow Bob and I go and see how much we are approved for. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time but it's time. It's been too long. I've longed for a home for a long long time. Can't wait to start the hunt-down for my first home w/ my hub for my children.
This weekend brings a nonstop busy weekend again. Working in the morning and then church stuff. I've decided to make my life more meaningful so I joined the Planning Committe at Reddeemer again this summer. Plans for the Neighborhood Festival is on the way. I'm also planning on putting some of my time into volunteering at "Starving the Feeding Children". I'm excited to make life more exciting, fun, and worth while.
This month is busy. I start full time training in a few weeks in richfield. Work has been fine. Usual banking stuff. I do miss my co-workers and the ways of TCF everytime I pass by my old branch though.
Thomas will be 6months soon. We need to take family pictures. Soon!!! Spring is almost here. Can't wait!
