spring has sprung

it is beyond me how we are already in april. where is the time going!?!?!?! the sun is shining again in kentucky, and i am so thankful for the warmth it has brought. i am officially two weekends away from my last working weekend at bridal warehouse. so excited to have some free time again! however, i will really miss the gals i have grown to know and love while spending the last few months working alongside them. my job at necole's place continues to thrive, and i love the work i am doing there. my kids mean the world to me. God has shown me i have a greater threshold for patience than i ever knew was in me. glad to know i won't be that screaming parent who can't hold it together. lol. we'll see :)

will is coming to the close of another semester pretty soon, and is working hard all the while. he has been racking up a's on his papers, and i have to say i am super proud of him. although, i'm pretty sure it is my mad proofreading skills that bring those a's home in the first place ;) i'm trying to get him to take over on some of this blogging business, but he isn't being too cooperative. he is on spring break this week so perhaps he will make a guest appearance in here.
i am sure you all get tired of my ramblings and would appreciate the change in writing.

recently, my parents were able to make a trip to louisville and spend a few days. we had such a nice time, and found some new places to eat and shop while they were here. mom helped me make my spring wreath, and "Easter-ized" the apartment :) i will have to post some pics, but our camera battery is dead :(

this past friday will and i were both off, and it was just a great day. due to no air conditioning yet, we have had the windows open at nearly all hours. the constant incoming breeze makes for very good sleeping conditions, and sleep i did until 2 pm. when i got up, there was a beautiful flower arrangement on my nightstand from mr.bill and mrs.nebbie! again, i wish i could post pics, but it will have to wait. needless to say, my day started great with such a sweet surprise. will and i lounged around and watched tv, then went out walking for about an hour. when we got home i fixed us dinner, and we watched my favorite friday night show, ghost whisperer. we didn't do anything majorly special, but it was just a really wonderful day. mostly because we didn't have to work and we got to just hang out and be together. i told will i want to go back to hawaii and do that for a week again. he laughed in my face. i'm guessing that's a "yeah right" in boy language.

this week begins another 13 day work week for me, so say some prayers for me! will is hopefully going to get some down time, and rest up during his spring break, and i'm looking forward to him being around a little more :)

today was a great Easter service at our church, and we were able to have a little time together for lunch this afternoon before work. we both agreed that it isn't the same though. we miss our families so much, and long to be nearer. however, we fully trust where God has placed us, and know He is in control, and knows best. it's not easy to claim that everyday though. (i've had lots of hard days lately, and ask for your prayers for me personally. loneliness isn't a friend of mine, and it has a tendency to drag me under at times.)

love and blessings to you all!
