2 yrs later LOL

Well, just ran across this blog I started nearly 2 years ago. A lot has happened since then. It has been interesting.

I took about 6 months "off" for myself after Dad died and then in January 2008 I started as a nanny for my neighbor's baby girl, Abby. I watched her for just over a year until January 2009.

Since January I focused my attention on redecorating our home. We've lived in our "new" house now for over 12 years. It was TIME !

We repainted almost all the rooms, added new flooring (tile & carpet) and redid the kitchen. Granite counter tops - yahoo !! We hired a decorator, a dear friend from church, who had all the good ideas and a great sense of color. We basically supplied the cash LOL We just finished the final touches (at least all we can afford to make right now) We didn't buy any new furniture, but we certainly need to.

Now our focus is on FINDING EMPLOYMENT @! Duane lost his job about 6 weeks ago. Although the market is very soft right now, he is finding jobs to apply for and has made a lot of good contacts. We're praying he will find something soon ! If so, then I don't have to look for work - which I'd rather not do. I wouldn't mind something part-time but I'd really hate to have to go back to 40 hours a week plus a commute in Dallas.

To quote from a preacher I heard this week: "I'm Happy - God has everything under control"
