The Journey Home
Jun. 22, 2007
And then there was one

My oldest two kids, Summer (7yr) and JD (4yr) are visiting their dad in Nashville, Tennessee until July 6th.  So, I only have Baby Colton (7mo) to hang out with.  I haven't blogged much this week because there hasn't been much to say, my house has been fairly quiet and I get REALLY sad when Summer and JD are gone.  Summertime use to be such a joyful time for me, but for the past three summers I've just gotten so down.  I know that they have a super-great time while they are with him, and I try not to let them know how much I miss them - because nothing would break my heart more than if I knew they were home sick and wanted to come home.  This is the first year that I've had Baby Colton to entertain me while my big kids are away.  I know that I'm not nearly as much fun to play with as Summer and JD, but I'll guess I'll have to do until they get home. 

I will say it is really nice to have Baby Colton around to keep me busy, also...me and Jeff are BIG cuddle-ers, and Colton loves to cuddle too, just like his brother and sister do.  You know, Colton was a "surprise", and I was thinking last night that maybe God knew that Jeff and I needed someone else around to keep us from missing the big kids so much.

His Will update:

The job I talked about previously that my husband had applied for was a No-Go.  It was the same $, more traveling, and third shift.  However, even that was in God's plan.  Jeff has not had a formal job interview in...years, so this was great practice for him. 

Just as that decision came to a close, literally, hours later another opportunity came up.  So, we called a friend and asked some important questions.   This gentleman has been with this company for 20 years and had all good things to say.  It sounds promising because Jeff has all of the qualifications that are needed for this job, but I want to do a lot of praying this weekend and see what God moves us to do.  

Waiting patiently,
