MISS MY LITTLE ANGELS!

Boy I sure am missing these two little girls! Thank goodness we live in a time where all I have to do is have their mommy send me pictures via the internet and I can see them within minutes of the pictures being taken! I have always said I would have loved to live in the days of "Little House on the Prairie" but now maybe not so much!

Here are a few scrapblogs I did of them with the most recent pics Heather has sent to me!

Enjoy....

Time for reflection, decisions to be made..... blah, blah, blah....

Well, I know it has been a while since I have posted. I have been busy making some major decisions for my life and preparing to carry them out!

This economy, high rent (house too big by myself), high electricity, driving 68 miles a day to and from work and on and on and on... I have decided to make a move into my parents for a couple months, pay off some bills, save some $$$$ and move into Springfield.

Rent is cheaper (even if I have to move into an apartment). I believe I need to downsize right now! Another big plus is cutting my driving time by like 90%! I am excited about that one.

So I hope to make my move into Springfield around March or April. My parents offered this after finding out how hard I was struggling so I thought long and hard about it and it was my only recourse at this time. Thank God they offered!

So I plan on moving in on Christmas day and be totally moved out of the farm house by then. My landlords really don't want me to leave, but they also understand the situation.

Needless to say without Heather and the girls here and all that has transpired since they left I am totally NOT in the Christmas spirit. Not one little bit. I just can't wrap myself around it this year at all. Oh well, It will be here and gone in 3 weeks from today. I have everything bought (glad I started early) and wrapped, mailed off to Germany and am waiting for Christmas eve with my family. Then it will be over for another year.

Next year will be better! Brian and Codie will be back in the states and in Missouri and Heather and David will hopefully be moving about that time to Leavonworth, KS, so all my kids will be alot closer to me!

Update....

Heather and the girls arrived in Texas on Monday a.m. and were moved in by that afternoon. They ended up getting a 4 bedroom, 2 full bath home. She really likes the house, but not all the congestion of Killeen, TX. I think she misses Eudora area! LOL

She is going to get her internet set up fairly soon and will be back online shortly!

I took a few days off and cleaned and cleaned. The silence is deafening though... I really miss them all but I have alot of things coming up to keep me busy in the next few weeks. Lots of travel for work, I am doing another bible study right now, so I plan on keeping myself busy!

Go out and Vote. I voted and was # 17 in Eudora today. Normally I am either #1 or #2... but the parking area was full and there was a line! It is great to see so many people out voting and making their voices heard!

Sunday was hard!

One of the ladies from church got up after the invitation and asked Heather and the girls to come forward. So I went off to go get the girls out of the nursery. Valerie Killingsworth was telling everyone how Heather was heading back to Texas this week to get their housing set up and ready for when David comes home in Jan. So alot of people lined up to tell them goodbye and to come by and console "grandma". I guess it really really hit me that they are leaving and it is soon. I cried all the way home ( 1 whole mile!) and then had to have a talk with myself as I was fixing my lunch. I AM excited for them to all be a family again, but sure am going to miss all three of them. The day they leave is going to be a hard one at my little home.

Me and My Girls!

24 Days left!

Well we found out that Heather and the girls will be leaving for Ft. Hood, TX on Nov. 9th. She is beside herself with excitement. I know she wants to get it all started because that just means David will be home sooner! On the other hand, (I thought I was looking forward to this day) but it is hitting me that I won't have anyone at home when I get home to greet me, have those hugs and kisses from the girls whenever I want one (and they are willing! LOL), sitting and the sofa and having them come sit by grandma, seeing all the new things they are doing or saying each day. I am sooooooooooooo going to miss all three of them so much!

I went to the movie and dinner with a lady from my church and she is also single and living on her own and was seeking advice on how to keep from getting depressed and mired down in the loneliness. She was very helpful with her advice and we have decided that when we both get lonely we will just call each other and go out to eat, movies or just get together to talk. It is great having a good Christian friend I can talk to and be open with. Thanks Miss Shirley!

Oh, and I HIGHLY recommend the movie: Fireproof... It is very moving Christian movie.
