Life's Journey

Life takes you on many journeys. What you once thought you were going to do doesn't always end up what you actually do. The people you meet along the way all have some sort of meaning in your life. They were meant to be there for some reason or another. Had you not met someone who knows how different your life would be. Everyone you meet in life has a reason. Cherish those people.

What Do You Do All Day?

I haven't heard this question asked, but then this is only my fourth day of being home. But what do I do all day?! I am so used to working 8-10 hours a day, being gone from the house and spending the evenings cleaning or whatever that this is almost annoying to me. I can't stand sitting around! So far this week I have worked out for almost an hour 2 days this week, more to come of course, I've cleaned the back bedroom, I've been working on laundry, I've applied for jobs, I've gone to an interview, I've got one more scheduled for today, I've gone grocery shopping, I shopped Target clearance and picked up a pair of pants for Troy and found 3 Christmas presents, I've gotten the oil changed in the Camaro, I've been to the bank, I picked up the house, it needs more work, but I wouldn't be completely embarrassed if someone showed up unexpectedly, I went to the pet store and bought dog food and throw in a few other random errands and that's what I've done the past three days. The dogs don't know what to do with me at home either! They're used to sleeping all day!

Such is Life

I haven't blogged in over a month. I've taken pictures, but I haven't blogged them. Life hasn't been fun lately that I will admit. The basement flooded this summer, we put drain tile in, there went $4500, I had Lasik, not that I had to have it, but it was worth it. There went $3200. My car was overheating, there went $420. Troy's truck broker, there was $500. We both lost our jobs! Our main sewer line is broken and they want $6200 to fix it... like I said, Life hasn't been fun lately. Troy got a new job and has been there almost 3 weeks. He really likes it. I am still looking. I've had a bunch of interviews, but nothing yet. My last day at work was last Friday. I've been spending this week cleaning up the house and doing laundry. I'd never be able to do this on a regular basis. I'm going stir crazy sitting at home. I would also like to find a job before my severance pay runs out! Somethings out there for me I know it is! I'll find it! Hopefully it's the job I interviewed for today! If not, I'll keep applying and interviewing, it's all I can do! Here's a sampling of some of the photos I've taken lately.

!My neice, Sophia, has been performing in this awesome play, Corey's Way. I'm so proud of her!


We took Isaoo up to Troy's Mom and Dad's a few weeks ago. The dog is afraid of the water!

Amy, Mikayla, Cindy, Courtney and I went up to Mora to check out the Crazy Ladies House.

I got to see the Ghostbusters!

We got new drain tile put in.


I met some new friends!

A Summer of Fun

Summer comes to a close next week. This summer went by fast and it's been busy. It seems like every weekend there was something going on. Most of my favorite weekends involved a fire. Tonight's fire involved a cabinet from the basement.

Grilling

We've done a lot of grilling this summer and by a lot I mean I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've turned my stove on since June. We've made chicken, fish, pork chops, burgers, brats, hot dogs, ribs, roast, breakfast, meat loaf, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese and even apple crisp. Who knows what we'll try next!

Just Me & the Dogs

Troy went out with Russ for his birthday tonight. Before he left he predicted that Isaboo would be laying in his spot tonight. He was right. It didn't take long for her to climb up and take a nap.
