Today's list

I picked up my room this morning, made my bed, made a cup of tea, showered, packed up my computer and went to the church to do some client work on my computer in Jerry's office. I enjoy working in there it is nice and warm, (struggled with a headache most of the day) and he gets his work done while I'm in there...It works out great! I made 2 video slideshows, called a few clients for scheduling pick-ups for their sr. pics, Jerry and I took Josh to Goodwill to buy a pair of black pants for work..we found a pair that looked brand new, it's hard to beat $3 for pants. They looked great on him. Then we dropped him off at work. I made coleslaw, cleaned out a closet, did dinner dishes, swept kitchen floor, made a pot of coffee and gave Jerry a cup of it while he was relaxing on his comfy chair. My favorite part of the day was making a cup of coffee for Jer. I love him so much. I love my life!
This week already is filling up so quickly. I would really love to take a solid 5 days off to just arrange my house the way I want it. I feel guilty for saying that because I have so many friends and relatives who want to get together. This weekend we are having Evan, Garrett, and Grant over. I get so obsessed with wanting my house to be organized, as I get older the hatred for clutter grows. I just want everything in it's place. And if it doesn't have a place I want to give it to someone who could use it or sell it .
When Josh came home from work tonight he asked me if I would start jogging with him in the morning. 8:00am is when he said he'd like to start. I said sure. We both want to be healthy. He thinks this will help him want to quit smoking too. I'm glad to hear he is motivated (no matter how long it lasts) I love spending time with him. We really missed a lot of time when he was younger. I feel like this is an awesome second chance.. I also feel like our family relationship is good for Amanda (daughter in-law) because I think she has always longed for a mother who was stable and in a healthy marriage. I love her like a daughter! I really enjoy being with her and Zion! I think we get closer everyday..
Ok, I think I'm done rambling on.

Life

This morning I woke up at 7:30 am showered... gave my hubby a smooch, grabbed a cup of tea and drove to Muskegon for a bit of shopping, errands and some time at B&N, and filled out a few Valentine Cards. I had to be back to Holton for Tim Kobera's funeral at 1:00pm. It was a beautiful funeral. Jerry did a lovely service, as usual! And Amanda Selleck was a wonderful help in the kitchen..Amanda still amazes me! Tim was such a loving, caring man. He will be very missed! But we know we will someday see each other again. Yahoo.
After the funeral and lunch, Jerry and I went to visit with the family of Bonnie Ingram (Bonnie's funeral is tomorrow, ok today because it is after midnite.) The family was a joy to be with, and they had much to share about Bonnie. Bonnie was such a blessing to all who knew her. Please pray for Bonnie's family as well as Tim's. So hard to loose a loved one. After the visit with Bonnie's family we went grocery shopping. Then we came home, Jerry went to his computer, and I took care of groceries, and began to make Vegie soup, and pasta salad. The vegie soup is a fund raiser for the New Community Center in Holton..(where clothes and food will be given out to help those in need in our area.) And the Pasta salad is for Bonnie's funeral...I also made deviled eggs for part of our Valentines Day meal tomorrow..(today) Now it is 2:30am and I am going to bed!!! Life if full of joy, I'm where I want to be in my life...very happy and content. God is good all the time..All the time..

Home

We are home from vacation now, Jerry and I went down south for 3 weeks...Georgia and Florida. We had such a great time relaxing and taking in the perfect sun. (not too hot or cold)
While it is true that we had a great time, it sure is nice to be home now too. I have so many personal projects I want to dive into, as well as setting up dates to see my grandkids/adult kids. On the way home from our vacation, we stopped in to see Charly and Aydan...and of course Mark and Kari. I sure did miss them all. Charly is talking like crazy now, and we shared several belly laughs together. We kept making faces at each other which started when Kari and I got together with our video cams from our computers, while I was on vacation in Florida. Neither one of us had sound.. so all we could do was make silly faces. I also hid from the camera and played peek a boo! Way too much fun! As for Aydan, he is just amazing! Sweet as ever! I got to feed him his bottle, snuggle and tickle him and look at books with him. Pure Joy! Leaving is always so hard. I just love being with them all. So glad I will soon be seeing them all more often.
