I am so ready for Spring time and WARM weather! I am ready to be able to get the kiddos out of the house and get FRESH air. I am ready to hear the birds chirping and for light earlier in the day. I am ready for the buds to be on the trees, and the grass to be green. I am ready to open my windows and let the house air out. I am ready to spring clean my house! I am ready to put coats away and get out the jackets! I am ready for cold/flu season to be OVER!
I am very thankful that the winter season is ALMOST over! I do not enjoy the bitter cold weather, but I do appreciate that the season does not last forever! I am thankful for a home that is warm during the cold months too. I know God has a purpose for winter and I try to remember to not complain!
God has blessed me with 6 beautiful girls, and I have the privilege of homeschooling them!

Eventful Weekend
On Friday Rob flew home for the weekend, and our truck was finished being worked on!! I am so thankful that only the last 2 weeks of the truck being out of commission was the only time we had no transportation!! God provided and when we really wanted it back it was done:-) Friday night we went to dinner and the mall. Hannah had birthday money to spend. She left the mall with 2 pairs of tennis shoes and a t-shirt that says I am a Brilliant Sister! HA!
Saturday we filed taxes, and grocery shopped. At 3 we went to Camby and got to help with the McKamey's concert with Conner Promotions! It was such a blessing to hear good Gospel music. The 3 oldest girls went with us. It was Rachel's first time going to a concert and she LOVED it! I love that my girls enjoy good music.
Sunday we got to go to church as a WHOLE family! What a blessing to sit with my husband in Sunday school and church! Sunday night Elizabeth followed the Lord's command and got baptized. My heart is overflowing with greatfulness to God's blessings and love to me and my family! My 3 oldest have all asked Jesus into their hearts and I am ever thankful knowing they know where they will spend eternity! Julia (5.5) has been asking a lot of questions about Salvation so I know it is a matter of time before she is ready too!
Yesterday we had to take Daddy back to the airport :-( It made me sad, but I know he is where he is supposed to be right now, and before long he won't have to be gone away from us. I am extremely greatful for the opportunity he was given by his employer. I love my husband more than I can ever put into words! God gave me a special gift when He gave me Rob! He is my best friend, and I know I can always tell him what is bothering me! When I screw up he is always loving and forgiving:-) and YES, I screw up often!

Wednesday Check-In!
Middle of the week and all is well! On Saturday I got my bedroom totally clean and rearranged! I am amazed at the room we now have in there! Hannah rearranged her room again, and thankfully it wasn't in the middle of the night! On Sunday we were home due to the truck being fixed so we studied I Corinthians 13. The 3 older girls are now memorizing the chapter. I want them to have God's love deep in their hearts and i want them to understand WHY we treat others with charity! Our next set of verses will be Ephesians 6. I want them to KNOW how and why we need to stand against the devil. I am in the middle of week 4 with the www.goodmorninggirls.org Bible study and I am humbled by all I have learned! I am so thankful that my sister-in-law Rachel showed it to me! I have a new outlook on how I should be living for Christ.
I started my 90 Day Health Challenge on Saturday and have already lost a pound! I am excited to continue on with this and see what happens! Right now I am working towards getting my next month for free! Please contact me if you would be interested in learning more!
Last night the I helped the girls make a tent! After the tent was made I allowed them to stay up later and watch movies! They LOVED it. I love doing little things like that to make them happy. That is one of the joys of homeschooling! I get to do special things during the week and not worry about the time because we can adjust our day accordingly! Rachel finished her last Reading light unit today and that made her so excited. She even got a 100%!! I am very proud of my girls.
We now have 2 more sleeps until Rob flies home for the weekend!! We made a chart to mark off the days. We are using heart stickers to cover our days and Friday is marked with a heart sticker with the picture of a girl kissing a boy! I can't wait to see him and spend some time with him:-) I am so blessed with a husband that works so hard and is willing to travel to help us financially. We are not perfect, but we love each other and strive to have a good marriage. We have to work at it daily and at times overlook each others faults! I am thankful for a Godly husband!
