creativity and coupons

Ah Fridays. You gotta love 'em. On Fridays this semester I only have one 11:00am class (Biology and Society)and after that I am totally free to enjoy my early start of the weekend. Although, with my many responsibilities I tend to have a few errands that have to be taken care of after classes. Nothing different today. After class I went to eat lunch with my husband. I do this most every Monday, Wednesday and Friday because he has lunch at 12:00 and it is easier for me to go eat with him and then go back to school for my next class than it is to go all the way back to the apartment. Plus it is always nice to be able to see him in the middle of my day!

After lunch I had to get some things settled for the fundraiser that we are having to raise money for the missions trip that we will be going this summer. We are taking a trip to Montana to work with youth from six different Native American tribes. We are extremely excited and know that God wants us to be on this trip. Thus we are trusting him to provide all $1700 dollars that is needed to fund the trip. Our first fundraiser is selling coupon books for different restaurants and entertainment areas around the triangle. They are definitely worth the money cause they basically pay for themselves and then some with all the deals in them. But back to what happened today...I had to gather equipment for our fundraiser. I gathered poster-board, a table, chairs, and envelopes. The poster-board is to notify people of what exactly we are doing when we are sitting outside of the Walmart. The table and chairs are from Nina (my mom's mom) and are obviously for sitting outside of Walmart. The envelopes are for the many different support letters that we are going to send out to all of our family and friends. The letter that I typed up today also!

After all of that I feel very accomplished today. To top it all off there is parmesan chicken in the oven and my husband will be home in about 15 minutes. Thus I will be signing out now. Until next time.

Hey this one is really good. I feel ya on the trusting that God will provide all the funds necessary for our missions trip, plus it says in the bible that I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me. That verse keeps me going everyday.

long lost days and couch beds

So I have not been keeping up with this in the past few days considering I have been pretty busy. Thus I am going to do some quick over-views of the past few days so that I can get myself to bed. I haven't been sleeping all that well for a while now and I need to get my beauty rest. On Sunday Matthew and I went back to Grace Assembly (our old/home church) for the late service. We wanted to go back to Grace since we are doing the mission trip through them and they were having a young adult meeting after church. The young adults meeting was pretty great. We went to Forks Cafeteria in downtown Wake Forest and had a room to ourselves reserved. I love getting everyone together. There are always great conversations. After we ate we had a little talk about getting young adults going again and about this new adopt a school program that they wanted us to get involved in. I am feeling pretty siked about the adopt a school program because it is with a middle school and we would get ...

To Start Again

Hello everyone! I know, I know, it has been a REALLY long time since I last posted anything here.  We have since been in Great Lakes, IL for a little over 2 years now and I feel like we have made ourselves a comfortable home and extended group of friends that are like family in the area.  But of course, like true Navy fashion, and God's design for life, nothing goes according to plan. I thought here in Great Lakes there would be little to no chance of Matthew ever getting deployed. God had a different plan.  Long story short, he is now deployed overseas and has been for almost 3 months.  He will be back sometime around May 2019 (that's about 10 months total). I've been having a lot of thoughts about how my days and plan are escaping me and I have trouble remembering what I've did yesterday let alone last week.  And so, I've decided to try and take back up on the blogging.  Hopefully it will be therapeutic for me and as well as help me when I want to ...

worst monday ever! (5/24/10)

So as my title says, last Monday was one of the worst Mondays that I have had in a long time. It started off early in the morning, 7:30 am, and if you know me then you know that is not a good time of morning for me to be waking anyway. But that had little to do with the bad day. I had to drive up to Louisburg to get my mom's prescription from her doctor's office because she was in SC with my Nina. Nina had been in the hospital since Thursday with complications that they could not quite pinpoint. So I set out early to get the paper that would allow me to get the prescription filled so that I could meet my Aunt at 10:30 when she was going to leave for SC. About half way through my journey to the doctor's office my car started making weird noises and shaking slightly. I called Matthew with a slight air of laughter in my voice and told him that if I broke down that he would have to call in late to work. Mind you I did not think anything of it because didn't think ...
