Fishies!

I forgot to tell everyone that the other day one of my fish passed away. It was the one that had been sick for awhile now and we tried everything but it just didn't seem to respond to anything. We are now down to 7 lonely fish, but are planning our next "Big Tank" when we have more casualties. The new tank will be a salt water tank and have some seahorses and some really colorful fish and some beautiful bright coral. I am super stoked but I also know that it won't be for a while down the road.

Haven't been here in awhile!

So where do I start, I have actually been quite busy since my last post. Last Saturday my church had a community help out and a bunch of us did so much for the community and hopefully helped change some lives. There were 3 different places to help out: A senior living house, pick up road side trash and my favorite the ABBA House. I helped out at the ABBA House in Cumming, GA which is a place for women and children who have addiction problems or have been abused. We worked on two different houses at the location and did some light yard work in the rain. We worked quickly and revamped the houses for some wonderfully strong and beautiful women and their kids. I am no longer a painting virgin. It was really life changing and eye opening. I just wish I could do stuff like that full time. Then Sunday we had church and then at 12:00 our church catered Five Guys. HHHMMMM.........hhhhmmmm......delicious!!!! Then Monday night we had a meeting at church again for mission trips (or World Care) as they are calling it now. I have been struggling ever since then with a tough decision. I really want to do a mission trip this year and had narrowed it down to 2 different places. I called and spoke to my husband and we decided that Cinncinatti would be the best place for my first mission trip. Then throughout the night they were handing out prizes and long story short, I wound up with a coupon for 50% off of the Jamaica Fall trip (which had been my other option). Once I got the coupon I thought that I was obligated to go to Jamaica. I went home and discussed it some more with my husband and we leaned back to Cincinnati. With me going to Ohio for a mission trip, I could also get a chance to see my dad, step mom and sick grandfather and because it is at the beginning of December, we could even celebrate and early Christmas together, right? This way I am serving God and Family because my work schedule does not really allow me to take a whole lot of time off, I can only do one trip. So here it is: Cincinnati, Ohio December 4-7.
A week later I am now on another dog sitting trip for my 3 little Chihuahuas in Cumming until the 18th. Then I will be home for a week to celebrate Memorial Day and my husband's birthday and then I will be back here for another week of dog sitting on May 30-June 6th. I love my life as it stands and feel that God has placed these special people in my life and has "given me options" as a great friend has put to me. I love all of you and hope that you pray for me that no one will get upset that I have chosen Ohio over Jamaica because it is still a mission trip to help serve God and serve those in need of God in their lives. Thank you.

Help in the community

Well the time has come and tomorrow I will be helping out in the community and trying to be a good civilian. My church is hosting this and a group of us will spend the day at the ABBA House in Cumming, GA just fixing it up and painting and yard work and cleaning. Surprisingly I am super stoked about it! I am bringing some cleaning products so I am assuming I will be doing the cleaning part but I will see when I get there. Pray for us and these poor abused women living in the house! Love ya'll!

Help?

Ok so I need some help! The other day I saw the cutest thing and have just been dying to get one. Well, we've all seen the "Baby on Board" diamonds on cars, right? I saw one that said, "4 legged baby on board"! Is that not the cutest thing? For all of you that know me, my car is the doggie (Chip) mobile, I need this to add to it! Can anyone help me? I have been googling it all night!
