Small Town Girl, In a Big City Whirl.....

This weekend Kelly so generously drove me to Frisco Texas for a job fair on Saturday. It so much fun. Frisco is not the little city I remembered. I had many emotions as we were stuck in traffic on Friday afternoon. I felt excited, amazed, awed, intimidated and many other emotions. I do have to admit that I was excited. We got into Frisco around six in the evening. Kelly has a fantastic sense of direction. She was like super woman in that car just whipping it around to anywhere she wanted to go.

We got there and found our hotel. Then we went to eat at the best mexican restaurant. La Hacinda's. Man did they have the best chicken fajitas. We actually ate there twice. It was that good. After we ate, we found where the high school where i was to go for the job fair. Kelly mentioned that night that maybe i could find my way back to the high school in the morning so she could rest a while. You could have felt the panic rise in the car. But I was determined to do this with the Lord's help.

So in the morning I set out on my own. It was a massive high school. Beautiful and new. I saw my old principal and ran to give her hugs. She just hugged me back. The job fair went very well. I had four interviews (minor) with four different principals. My old principal told me she had my resume on her desk, and that she looked at it every morning. She also said that when all of the letters of intent had been turned in and that all of the internal shuffling had been done, she would be giving me a call. I left feeling pretty confident that I had a really good chance to get a job in about 3 weeks to a month.

I have to say that I did not like selling myself to these principals over and over again. It made me feel awkward. Imagine that, I love to talk. But that was weird. Even though they were very nice. It felt like a cattle sale. So many people, so many tables, so many teachers old and new vying for the same positions. Oh well, God's will be done.

We are close to placing our house on the market. Time is really whizzing by. Wow can you believe that it is already March? Where does the time go?

THANK YOU SO MUCH KELLY FOR TAKING THIS SMALL TOWN GIRL TO THE BIG CITY.
Love ya girl.

I will keep you posted.

BUSY BUSY BUSY.........

we have been so busy lately. sometimes i feel like a., do i have nothing to say, or do i just want to say nothing. but it has been such a long time since i have posted, i feel like i have a lot to say tonight.

david has just recently left, today. he has been home for about two full weeks and weekends. that was really nice. we had fun. he left today, and flies tomorrow. he will be back the following friday.

we have been getting ready to place our house on the market. we are going to put it on the market around the middle or end of march. our realtor told us that we had better wait so that we do not have to move our things twice. i don't know about you, but i don't like packing. who does, right?

we are getting our master bathroom ready. it needs some updating. we already have painted it a pretty creamy brown color. we are also going to paint the cabinets and change out all of the hardware and the light fixtures. i am also going to frame the mirror. it is one of those old mirrors, that covers the whole wall, above the sink.

after we do that we are going to change all the hard ware in the kitchen and update the lights. i was going to paint the wood cabinets, but decided instead to clean then really good and coat them with some formbees wood stain on them. i think since so much of the living room has wood in it, that will look better. for those of you who do not know, my living room has wood cabinet shelves in them and our mantle over our fireplace is a pretty wood color. i think this is the best and quickest and easiest solution for the time we have left to get the house ready.

we are also going to do some curb appeal to the front and back yard. we are also going to have the house painted on the outside. so we have ALOT of work to do. maybe this will be our last move. i kind of like being in the same place.

the girls are doing fine. hannah is going to get contacts for her birthday. she turns ten in one month. can you believe it. we are going to let her get her contacts early. so tomorrow, we are going to the eye doctor to get fitted for them. she is so excited. she sure is growing up fast. she is also playing rec. b-ball. she loves it. and i love watching her.

bekah is doing fine. she has really become a reader. that is so fascinating to watch. i can't wait for her to play sports. she will get to play softball in the spring. she loves to play sports.

the girls are getting excited about the move. we have been looking online at different houses on the internet.

time sure is passing fast. the weekends go so fast.

i am getting ready for TAKS. doing lots of tutoring. i have sent off several applications and resumes. i have a job fair for frisco on the 23rd of february.


i am just continually trying to put everything in the Lord's hands. i know He will take care of everything.

here is one of my favorite new scriptures i have learned, and am learning to live by:

If a man's way delights the Lord, He will make his feet sure, even though he stumbles, he will not utterly fall. He will uphold him with His hand. I was young and now I am old, and I have never seen the righteous forsaken, or their children begging for bread.

Psalms 37:3-8

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will counsel you with my eyes upon you. Do not be as the mule or the horse who are unwise and are controlled by a bit.
Psalm 33:8-9

and one of my favorite

REJOICE IN THE LORD, AGAIN I SAY REJOICE. LET YOUR GENTLENESS BE KNOWN TO ALL MAN. BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING! BUT BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION MAKE YOUR REQUESTS KNOWN TO GOD. AND THE PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING WILL GAURD YOUR HEARTS AND MIND. WHAT SO EVER THINGS ARE LOVELY, WHAT SO EVER THINGS ARE TRUE....... THINK ON THESE THINGS.
Philippians 4: 2-9
