Pardon the interruption

We are at Mimi & Peepaw's house and will be home tomorrow.

Now, back to my donut.

The big 2-1

Happy Birthday to my baby sister!

We love you so much George!

Your Hands

I so needed to hear this today

Mileage

Stuart has 3 interviews in 3 days

That's right.

Hallelujah.

His first one was yesterday in Houston.

Since I had to work this weekend, he and the boys loaded up on Sunday and drove to Conroe so that my SIL could watch the boys for us yesterday while Stu went into Houston.

Day 1: Houston

They all headed home yesterday evening, just in time for me to unpack ad start some laundry.

Today Stuart has an interview in Midland.

Though it's not for a job in Midland.

It's for a job in Carrizo Springs.

(or chorizo springs as I call it)

The manager is in Midland (along with Stu's brother) for some sort of conference/gathering.

Day 2: Midland

Stuart then has an interview with the Midland manager tomorrow morning.

After his interview, he's going to rush home so that I can get some sleep before working Wed and Thu nights.

Friday we are setting off for San Antonio for some family time.

And to celebrate Stuart's grandparent's anniversary.

And an early Labor Day.

Weekend: San Antonio

Roundtrip: 2109.2 miles

We finally celebrated

just a few months late

more pictures to come

{Let me give a GIANT shout out to my SIL for watching my kiddos, being so flexible, kind, hospitable, watching my girl dog, listening to my husband complain about me (probably), and for all her overall help during our job hunting process. Love you!}

And for your listening pleasure

Five Things Friday

1. In the last two weeks, I have managed to break the under wire in all but one bra. Interesting.
2. We got our electric bill yesterday and let's just say we could power a small country with the amount we were billed.
3. While driving home from Dallas, I found myself pointing out combines and trains to no one.
4. Stuart has another interview on Monday.
5. My newest nephew is the most delicious little thing ever.

Home

And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy.

Under One Roof

All my boys are home and under one roof

I am so happy to have them back

Even if it means lots and lots of noise

and laundry

and dishes

and choas

Five Things Friday

1. Never mind on Centerville. Who wants to live there anyway? *more on this later
2. Stuart ended up staying in Conroe (with his brother) Thursday night too and as of right now (8:06 pm Friday), he and the boys still aren't back home.
3. I'm C-R-I-P-P-L-E-D with anxiety about our future.
4. I'm ready to just be a SAHM again. This working nights thing is for the birds. Or at least the insane.
5. We get to meet baby Joshua on Monday!

You alone are the LORD. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you.
