junk for sale

So after a month of cleaning out the house of unused stuff, we had our garage sale Saturday. We started with 4 tables and quickly realized "are you kidding!" So we had to get 4 more. But we made double of our hopes. It was cold, and we closed early when it started sleeting. But God was good and provided well. Today I took what was left to Goodwill. We still have a small chest freezer and a nice table saw. 

Saturday night our cat nearly ate our hamster. He's still alive, but is wounded, he can't run on his wheel. His days are numbered. 

Oh, an update on college. Jeremy has met with the community college. Their schedule won't be out for a while yet. So plans are on hold for the move. There are goods and bads about moving or staying. We really can't make any decisions or plans till we know what a school year would look for him. 

That is what our house is like, I'm relishing my dwindling days as a stay at home mom.

Blessings!

working

So, I have a little mini ity bitty job right now. I'm cleaning up a house, not mine, and getting it ready for sale. It's preparing me for the prepping of our house for sale. I'm doing some painting, washing windows, and general scrubbing. I'm tired, but it feels good to be doing something, and helping at the same time.

Next week Anora has spring break. No big plans, but she'll spend a few days with grandma & grandpa while we clean out the house for a garage sale. I'm ready to purge!

Well, Anora is home and demanding attention. God Bless you.

My week

Well, I've spent a lot of my time on two things maily this week. Painting the stairs in preperation for selling the house.

And quilting and binding a quilt.  Mom had embroidered the deer, and gave them, and some material to me for Christmas. I think it turned out real well. I think it will go to a good friend, but I'm not sure if it's good enough to give yet. It was a big experiment. I tried hand quilting, I realized in a hurry, I'm not a hand quilter. It's also the first time I used my darning/embroidery foot, and that is a little weird in some places. 

This week I have no idea what to do.

Nothing is new on the moving front. The local community college isn't returning Jeremy's calls, so they don't seem be wanting/ or needing us. I also worked on my resume and references this week.They're ready if I should need them. 

Hope you all have a good week. Please pray for my friend Sarah and her son Micah. He's having medicle problems. 

update & clarification

So, we had a pretty normal weekend. 

Saturday, we went to the church and put out the music for Sunday and spent some time talking with a friend. It was really nice. 

Then we went shopping for Mp3 players and paint for in the house.I have always like my iPod, and thought I'd have to try to get a cheep iPod. But instead I picked out an Mp3 player that shows video and pictures and holds a ton of photos. We changed all our purchased music into mp3's so I didn't even lose any of my music! I doubts but it worked. Jeremy is real happy with the one he got too. His was 5$ cheaper, but doesn't do as much. 

Then yesterday Jeremy was attached to computers all day. The church computer doing his weekly recordings, his to explain how to do all the weekly recordings, and then ours to get it to network with his. Yikes. He wasn't much company for the day. 

This week we look forward to trying to meet with the local community college, and our 'money' guy, to see how to pay for it all!

I may not have been clear last time I posted about our speed bump. We know Jeremy will need something like 32 credits of community college. So, though we don't know where yet, he'll go to college full time for a year, while I work. Then after that year (2 semesters) he'll go to seminary full time. Jeremy looks forward to working part time during school, but I think we'll need him to stay with Anora after school to avoid daycare. But I suppose that all depends on our jobs, I may be getting a head of myself. But we're undaunted, and still looking forward to him going to school.  We have reasons for staying in DeWitt (several really), but several for moving too. As long as God is with us, we can't go wrong.
