check it out!!


i hate bugs...but this one was pretty cool! i know it's a walking stick, but i don't think i've ever seen one in real life. i know, most people probably have...? it was large, so i thought i'd take a pic to share! :)

FINALLY!!!





















hi all!
it's about time!! we moved into our new house on June 20th, and now, exactly a month later, we have FINALLY connected to this cool thing called the internet! amazing, huh?! so, a few news items...we LOVE our new home! i started teaching swim lessons (see my friend Jill's blog) and i'm getting a promotion! so, first things first, yep, we love the house! it's 2 miles from the highway, but it feels pretty secluded and safe and serene! it's over twice as big as our other (tiny, tiny, tiny) house and we love it! (did i say that already?!) we've painted 3 rooms and will eventually paint a few more. justin's been working hard on the landscaping (there was already plenty of landscaping, but he wanted to re-do it all.) and so he's been working hard here at home and i've been working hard at work. cause i'm getting a promotion on Aug 8th. i will be the Director of Foodservice at the hospital i work at. my boss resigned and i'll be taking over. exciting, but it will be a lot of work for the next few months as i try to learn his job, find someone to take my place and then train them to do my job :) all while maintaining sanity! (you all should pray for my husband...and pray that he doesn't get neglected :) and i've also started teaching swim lessons to 2 adorable kiddos! kate and ethan...mommies Jill and Cat have been having fun watching and sometimes participating! it's been an adventure! we've only had 3 lessons and we're looking forward to more! they are so cute (even when they cry) and i have a blast w/them! so...that's it for now...i will be posting pictures sometime soon!
