TOO TIRED TO BLOG............

maybe toward the end of the year I will get caught up. oh by the way all I do is work. so you are really not missing anything.

YEA!!!!!! I'M COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tomorrow after school, well actually, around 2:30, we are leaving school to come home!!!!!!! i so need to see my family and sisters. i have missed them so. it is not going to be a working weekend. yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we are going to celebrate mine and amy's birthday.and i get to see my new grand nephew. yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know this sounds crazy, but i am actually looking forward to sitting for 5 hours. it has been sooooooooooooo hectic and busy up here at my new job, i am looking forward to just sitting and listening to good music. my feet have really been hurting me, because i stand so much and have put on so much weight, it feel great to sit.

on saturday, my precious dear friends are going to meet up with me for breakfast. i can't wait to see them. it will be so much fun. i am so blessed to have these friends.

so i am so excited. i am adjusting, but i miss my home!!!!

this last monday, i went out for the second time with the ladies from the new church up here. it was alot of fun. sometimes i am so tired, that i have to force myself to go out during the week. but i went, and had a great time. i had about twenty women just laughing, when i was telling my story anbout truong to find the restaurant that night. nothing like a country bumpkin, trying to find her way around the big city. it was quite comical.

oh and also we find out tomorrow if hannah makes the all city choir. i hope she does. she sure does want to.

A Singer, A Volleyball Player, and an Author............

i am so proud. my oldest is trying out for all city choir and is starting to play on a city volleyball team. i am so glad that the move has not dampened her quest for trying new things. she tries out for choir this saturday, and her new league starts this next week. the coach has already told us that we will practice this week on tuesday.

our first game is on the 27th of september. i am so excited for her. she is so excited and is adjusting so well. she already talks about the friends she is making. THAT IS SO COOL. i can't to see all of the wonderful things God has in store for her.

our school has its school dedication is happening. hannah is going to have a performance that day also. she is loving living here.

i also discovered i have a new budding author among our family. she has blonde hair and blue/green eyes. she loves to write and will sit and make up stories all day long. she also loves to read them to us. and of course we love to hear them. she wrote the cutest one the other day and read it to us. it was so sweet. this is a move from a seven year old's perspective:

I LOVE LIVING IN MCKINNEY
by REBEKAH POYNOR

It was hard moving to McKinney.
It was hard to leave my family behind.
but at least I have my two cousins I still have fun.
We swam together and we have barbeques at my cousins home.
and we play on the wii and well the grownups.
The End

makes a mommy proud. i just love that she is so excited about writing. sign of genius don't you think? well i do.


i do feel like my head is beginning to float a little above water. maybe its because it is thursday night. i will be sure to take pictures.

A MUCH NEEDED VISIT AND A MUCH NEED MESSAGE....................

i just love the way God brings life into your old tired bones just when you think that you can't go on anymore.

what an awesome weekend it was. i truly felt rested when the weekend was over. the weekend got off to a great start when kelly and greg passed through here on their way back home. what a great time we had. it is so wonderful to see familiar faces in a new strange land. kelly and i went shopping most of the day saturday. it was so nice to hug and love on a dear sweet friend. i really enjoyed reconnecting again. her hugs and words and laughs were therapy for me.

greg and david just stayed home and watched college football all day. i know they both needed it. david goes so much, he enjoys just staying at home.

we ate great mexican food on friday night. there is nothing better than driving into your driveway only to find friends sitting on your bench outside your door.

on sunday morning they got ready to leave and we got ready for church.

the message on sunday was bracy's ( that is our new pastor) best so far. the message was to just come to Jesus and REST. how i needed to hear this. just REST. when i hear rest, think of just vegging out. bracy point out that it also means to surrender. wow. all you who are weary and heavy laden. i just played these words over in my head and heart over and over all sunday. JUST REST.

JUST REST.

JUST REST.

so Jesus, i surrender it all to You. i choose to rest in You. take all my new school worries and do what You will.

i just want to rest.
