somewhere across the universe...

Tonight I'm watching Across the Universe with my sister and Josh. It makes me want to live in a musical. I want to have my life have a kick ass soundtrack. It would be amazing to have my day be narrated by the Beatles or any other such amazing band.

My week is looking like it is going to be a good one. Today Lisa came over and spent time with me. She helped me out folding clothes and playing with Cole too. Gracie helped out too. She kept Jenna occupied and happy which was amazing!

Wednesday I start work again at the church. Josh and I also start back working Sunday nights this week. Yay! Extra money on top of a REAL paycheck this month! We won't know what to do with ourselves. Being able to pay all of our bills AND buy groceries and gas! Woohoo!

Thursday I am starting a Bible study that I am super excited about. Lisa is doing it as well, so at least I will know someone there.

For now I'm looking forward to the week. I suppose we'll see how it unfolds. But I am blissfully optimistic at this point.

mom and dad's new house...

Today Josh and I drove to Weiser to see my mom and dad and their new house. On the drive over and back we listened to Eldest, the sequel to Eragon, which was great and made the trip really quick. My parents both seem really happy with the place they are renting, and my mom has already been hard at work making it feel like home. The house itself is great. There is a lot of space and it is really cute. However, what makes the place amazing are the yards. The front yard has amazing trees, and the backyard has a ton of grass. The backyard also has a great climbing tree, a tree that is perfect for a tire swing, and an amazing garden to keep my mom busy in her free time. I think it is going to be a great place for them, and it is going to be nice to have them closer to visit.

My mom starts her new job at the hospital (which is right across the alley from their house) on Monday and I think she is excited. My mom is a great nurse, and I'm glad she is going to be using her talents on more than just family. It is nice having her to take care of me when I need her, but I know there are a lot of people out there that are in much greater need of her love and caring.
