New Flooring and Such


Brr!  So the week started off very cold and a dusting of snow!  I am sure glad that didn't last.  


We were so happy to have our flooring put down on Wednesday! Yay!!  I really, really, really like it. :)  I already swept the vinyl floor and it really hides the dirt well.  So nice!!


One of my favorite places...the sunny dining area.  :)


Of course, it always makes your week when you see this!


We have been enjoying McDonald's small smoothies for only $1.25!  Love the mango pineapple!

Thursday, I had a photo inspection job of 13 houses.  Thankful for the extra money for our camp fund. :)


Friday, I did a second photo inspection job for this week - 11 houses.  Stopped by our house and did a few things.  Dropped Sierra off to go to a birthday party.  Grocery shopping.  Did four loads of laundry, grilled some hot dogs and cheddar brats for dinner and took the girls swimming - all at the same time.  Now that is fun multi-tasking!

We also had our old bathtub refinished today - so excited!  Next step is to paint and install the extra updates.


The girls enjoying the beautiful afternoon out back.

Lunches all packed, showers done and ready for a full day tomorrow of softball and home work.  Have a great Saturday!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27
