I Will Get Better!

My dear IRL friend, Jenna, made a point to tell me tonight at church that I was seriously slacking on my blogging lately. She's not the first to make this point! The fact is, I'm having trouble finding time to blog. I drive over to my parents house during the week to work and lately we've stayed there during some weekends for various reasons and have been out of town during the rest! Due to all the stuff going on in our life, when I can sit down to blog, my mind goes blank. I will get better, I promise. I'm still in a blogging slump! Don't forget about me! I will be back--posting and commenting soon!

Blogging Slump

I just haven't been in the blogging mood lately. I'm sure I will come out of it soon, but until then, I thought I could at least post some recent pics.

My youngest-showing off for the camera!

Stuffing her face full of fetticine alfredo

Vacation Pictures

We had a wonderful time at the beach! We were blessed to be asked by Jenny's family to go with them to Orange Beach, AL! We had the best time! Here are a few pics:

Here's my oldest and Jenny's youngest being buried in the sand.

We were definetly not ready to come back to "real life"!

Weekend Reflection

We've been blessed with a good week! However, our next week is looking even more promising because we're heading to the beach!!!! YEEEAAAHHHH!

• Monday--Enjoyed the day at home with my daughters!
• Tuesday--Work day! Not a lot going on at work....just seeing patients in the hospital and in outpatient.
• Wednesday--Work day! I met a friend for lunch that I went to college with. She and her husband are in the military. They just moved back here from California and are about to have their first baby...a girl! It was so nice to get to visit with her! We went to church after work!
• Thursday--Work day! Drove home after work! By this time in the week, my oldest is saying, "I want to go to my house" and "I love my house". It's hard on the girls to be away from home during the week but we don't have much longer! My husband's graduation is just around the corner!
• Friday--Spent the day playing outside, watching Veggie Tales with the girls and cooking dinner...hamburger steak with gravy, creamed corn and rolls! YUM!
• Saturday--My mom came over around lunch time and played with us! My dad came over around supper time. We grilled hamburgers and enjoyed time together the rest of the night.
• Sunday--My dad is flying out on a business trip today and my husband is studying for a mid-term. My mom, the girls and I are going to hang out at home a little while and then go to town!

I hope everyone else had a great weekend! We're heading to the beach this week! I'll have pictures to post when we get back!!
