Stepping out of my box...

So sorry for not having written since new years day.  I have been busy with some things and will hopefully talk about that at another time when I am more ready to talk about them.  Husband has been traveling quite a bit since the start of the new year which makes my life a bit more busy and not busy at the same time if that makes any sense.  Anyway, on to the title of this blog post.  Last school year, Ainsley had her favorite little friend from school.  We have had her over several times throughout the summer and the current school year with both girls constantly asking for a sleepover.  At the end of school year picnic, we actually sat with her family and had a really good time.  We talked about getting the families together and have just never gotten around to it.  If anyone has a crazier schedule than my husband it is the head of this household.  He is in law enforcement.  Enough said.  Well, I finally invited them to dinner and they have accepted!  Please say some prayers for some much needed fellowship and openness on my part.  Hopefully we can continue to develop a good relationship with this family especially since our girls seem to get along so famously.

 Hope everyone in the midwest is surviving this cold snap.  I was out shoveling snow this morning and felt completely underdressed.  I was lacking a hat and had my lighter gloves on as I shoveled after the morning drop off.  Definitely needed that hat and a scarf and thicker gloves.  I believe more snow is expected tomorrow as well.  At least the hubby will be coming home so hopefully he will clear snow for me!  Take care everyone and I will let you know how dinner went next week!

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone has a blessed new year!  Above I have the photo of a previously unfinished project that I have since finished to display this holiday.  I have started another rather large project as well.  I will keep my posted of my progress.  The hubby is home from the store and I must get off of this computer. Working on a home improvement project as well.  More shelving for the boy's legos and lights for the bathroom as I am preparing to paint.  Have a great day, week, month, year.  Many blessings to you all.
