Woke up this morning and the first thing that Nate said was, "mama I wanna go fishin" so I figured we could go in the evening. Nate asked to go fishing all day long. He was serious about this fishin trip. He took his nap faster then ever just with the words, "As soon as you wake up from your nap we will go fishin." He was out like a light bulb. So Bobbi and Curt and I headed to the kids catfish cove to see what Nate could snag. Nate was excited and had fun throwing rocks in the water, reeling the pole in, and walking around. We got a couple bites, but nothing to reel in. Nate had a blast though and I am sure we will do it again.
I heard from Jamie through email couple days ago. He said he is doing good and they are close to getting to their destination.
I was hesitating on the last load of his ACUs. Yea its been over due on his laundry but every time I passed the basket I kept putting off and putting it off. As I was loading his uniforms I did the all traditional Army wife thing. I smelled the collar of the last shirt I put in the washer. I never thought that diesel fuel and cologne could smell so good.
My little vet tech in the making. Nathan wanted to listen to Mr. Js heart the other day before he went to bed. Mr. J went over to snooze with Sylas and Nate wanted his picture taken. Mr. J had an episode of severe anemia but has suppliments and is back to his ol self again. Now I know what the mean with the 9 lives! HA
A customer of mine that I sent some fish to emailed me a picture of the fish to show me how big they had gotten. Its good to know they found a good home.
I am determined to finish this before Jamie gets home! I think I started this back in 2000 (mom is that right?)Once I get working on it I cant put it down. Its so old I feel like I should buy myself a congratulations balloon or something when I finish it! I remember going into the store and seeing the other part to this cross stitch. Its these foals all grown up in the same order in front of the same barn. I would not be able to do it because i KNOW I would probably get bored of doing the same theme. I must say it would look cute on the wall set up that way.
Nathan 'baby' has been with him from day one. I cant recall him ever going to bed without it. There for awhile we started loosing track of baby. I got so concerned that I washed it and put it in his keep sake box. Poor Nate could not sleep or cope without it so I decided that there would be a restriction to keep baby in the house at all times. No more trips outside with baby, no more trips to Sunday school with baby. Baby was officially grounded. Couple weeks ago baby went missing. We got so busy that I never took the time to really look for it. Now that Jamie is away I have been doing alot of what I call OCD cleaning (HAHAHA) to keep me busy. I set forth on a mission that I accepted. I was determined to find this baby. I looked EVERYWHERE in the house where Nate had hidden it in the past. Pots n pans, linen closet, drawers, you name it I looked at or in it. No baby could be found so I started to panic to the point that I thought I was going to cry. So I stopped in my tracks and did what I should have done in the first place.......I prayed.....the first thing that popped in my head was, "check the dog toy box" I argued "no no it cant be in there I just picked those up numerous times last week and baby has been missing for WEEKS." So I kept looking and prayed again......."look in the dog toy box" I argued with that 3 maybe 4 times until finally I went over and looked inside the dog toy box. There it was. I picked it up and starred at it. Nathan comes over, "I FOUND BABY" and snatches it out of my hands and runs away. I was still standing there in aw.I think everyone has had this moment where they loose something. God tells us where it is but we deny it until finally we check and there it is. Wow what an eye opener.Thank you Lord for helping me find Nates baby although I was being a little too stubborn about it. :)
