Things are good

I thought it was about time for me to let you all know how things are going. It is looking up. We haven't been doing a whole lot, but it is still good. I have made a friend and she is also my work out partner. I am so glad to have her. Her name is Angel. Truly God has blessed me with my new friend. I really enjoy our time together. She makes me laugh and she encourages me too. We have been working out for about 2 weeks, this is our 3rd week. I am feeling pretty good. It really helps me to know that she will be at the gym, definitely keeps me accountable. We have started hanging out quit a bit. We had her, her husband and kids over last Friday night for dinner. It was really fun. Ben had a chance to meet her husband. I made enchiladas, and can I just say they were amazing. I used to be able to buy this pureed chili stuff to make great enchilada sauce when we lived in Albuquerque and hadn't found it again until we moved here. Let me just tell you I was so excited when I found it. I could go on and on about it. They were soooo good. Even the kids loved it, and the enchiladas were spicy. Okay, well, moving right along. Ben is still enjoying his new job and really liking the company he is working for. It is nice to see him happy and not stressed out. The kids are still doing good. Megan is having a bit of a rough time right now. The friends she made are not so nice lately. It is really sad. Megan is not sure what is going on, but she still keeps her chin up. She is becoming friends with a girl from school. I am hoping that works out good. I have been praying that they both find good friends. Jacob seems to be doing good. I haven't heard any complaining yet. That is good. They both are doing good in school, which is very nice. Jacob was slacking a little bit, but is back in shape. Here what is cool is that they have what is called "Parent Portal" I can go and check his attendance, his grades on papers and for missing assignments. It is so wonderful. I am checking almost everyday. He had 2 C's at one point and brought them up to B's. Megan's school is getting the Parent Portal too, but just not yet. She is doing pretty good though.



Well, it is becoming easier for me to be a stay at home mom lately. Maybe I am just really starting to adjust. It has been nice, because I actually have someone I can call to do stuff with. I believe that is making a huge difference. My friend, Angel is a stay at home mom too. Oh, and what is funny is she grew up in California, actually in Ceres and Modesto area. How cool is that! I have been working on some projects at home. I am tackling sanding and re staining my coffee table and 2 end tables. I am almost done with the coffee table. I have only been working on it for about 3 or 4 weeks. LOL It is a slow process what can I say. Hehe! It has been fun. I need to get a move on it before winter starts. I am hoping to finish the coffee table this week. Hopefully they will all come out good. Well, I guess that is all I have for today. I hope I didn't lose any of you in this blog of babble.



I still missing my family and friends. Know I think of you all often. Miss you bunches!

Love you all!
