Home again and back on track!!

Well I am home again. Our trip to see Tawny and her family was great. The little one is not so little anymore. He was standing on the step waving at us when we got there. He is adorable (and not just because I am his Grandma either!!) His hair is quite a bit longer and has curl to it. I was surprised that Tawny was letting him have longer hair but it is very cute on him. He is a very happy little guy too. Mommy and Daddy are very good with him. He is very obviously a very loved and very gentle little soul. Tawny is doing pretty good all things considered. She has Placenta Previa so please be praying for both her and the baby. They will be checking again in a few weeks but they aren't expecting it to migrate back up, so she will probably have the baby earlier then expected. Right now she and baby are doing well. She just has to take it easy or they will put her on bed rest. Which could happen anyway toward the end of her pregnancy. Their new house is cute. I really liked the way it was set up and it has a nice back yard and porch. We really enjoyed our stay and I can't wait to go out again in August when Ellie is born.
Things are going well here too. While I was gone, James went to work on our bed again. He raised it another 6 or 8 inches, removed the headboard and moved the mattress up further on the frame so that there is a bench made from the frame at the end of the mattress. We have a waterbed frame and we have always wanted to make it a pedestal bed. When he raised it the first time it made the shelf headboard useless for us. Now the shelf is on our dresser which is really nice and he is making a hanging shelf for above the head of our bed. He is a very talented guy! Can hardly wait till it is all done. I have lots of finishing touches to do to the livingroom, boys room, kitchen, and playroom. Then maybe we will put the house for sale and see what happens. Just have to wait and see what is decided.
James has been very busy with his job, coaching Little League, and side jobs. Then add in all our other activities and it makes for a very busy schedule.
This past weekend we had our first grad party for Joy, then this Friday we have one for my niece Stephanie. And Becky will turn 30 on Monday so need to plan something for her.
Suzanne was here this weekend for Joy's party and graduation. It was so good to see her and get to talk with her. I really have missed being with her.
Mother's Day was awesome. We were in Spokane and Tawny took us to a spa. We were there for about 3 or 4 hours. We had mini facials, Mud in our hair, paraffin wax on our hands and feet, a 20 minute massage, and a foot and lower leg spa and massage. By the time they were done with us we felt pampered and totally relaxed! I loved it and hope to do it again someday.
Well, I think that about catches things up for now. Hope you all are doing well.
Please be praying for:
Tawny and her pregnancy
God's will in our lives as to moving
Levi and Becca
James and I to stay unstressed through the long summer!

Rambling On...

I'm starting to get just a tad excited. On Wednesday, Jeremiah, my mom and I are headed to see my daughter and her family in Spokane. James and Levi get to fend for themselves for a week. It is always so much fun to go see them. I just don't like the trip there sometimes. It takes so long. Oh well it is totally worth it.
On another note...Grey's Anatomy...my all time favorite show I think. I love the ins and outs of each character. Last nights show was awesome. I can't believe there are only two more episodes till reruns for the summer. I really enjoy the Meredith-Derek thing, and the Izzy-Denny thing and now George finally has someone. At first I thought she might be too much for him to handle but now I think he will be good for her. She has a soft side. Alex is actually one of my favorite characters. He acts like such a tough guy, but under it all he really is a softy and will probably be one of the best doctors in the end. I don't like Addison, but that is just because of the role she is in. I want Meredith and Derek together!! Maybe Addison could find someone else. Anyway I am rambling!! Oh yeah that is why this is Rhonda's Ramblings!! LOL
I have to get in gear now and do the shopping for the guys so they will have food in the house while I am gone. Just hope they cook some of it, instead of going out to eat!! So I will blog when I get back from Spokane. Have a great week and be safe.

What to do....

I'm sitting here at my computer wondering just what to do. There are so many options that I just can't make up my mind. Ever have one of those days? Or maybe more than one of those days? Should I work or should I play? Stick with the job I have or get a new one? Fix the home that you live in up or look for a new one? There are only a few things that I am not wondering about. I know I love the Lord and want to do His will. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I love my husband and my kids. I know I am so looking forward to spending a week with my daughter and her family. And I know that I love my life! So some things are obviously non-negotiable. But....lots of other things are!!!
We have been looking at modular homes and checking out prices and such. But it always comes back to the fact that we like where we are located and it would be much cheaper to fix what we have and then later maybe add a shop for James. We have plenty of room to do it and this house is nice, just needs some updating!!! So I guess maybe that question is resolving itself. Work or Play well obviously I am playing for the time being! I really do enjoy blogging just don't always have the time. Oh yes the job...I am currently babysitting a little girl a couple days a week, (when I actually get her) from 5:30am till 7 pm. Her mom is a nurse and only works three shifts a week, but lately it hasn't even been that much. I'm also suppose to start sitting two more girls full time but not sure when that is going to happen. In the mean time I am needing something to earn a little extra. Not sure what to do. CM just helps me pay for my hobby, and I am not into being a committed sales person that way so that won't help. So what to do!!! I've thought about giving up on the sitting and getting a job outside the home but then I would miss so much with Jeremiah. I guess I just need to be content in my circumstances! (Hmm now who in the Bible tells us that!!) If the Lord has something different for me then He will have to show me what to do.
Okay now that I have done my ranting and raving!! I will get on to other things.
I am so excited! Next Wednesday, I leave to go see Tawny and her family. My mom, Jeremiah and I will be there over Mother's Day and Tawny has planned a special day for all of us. We get to stay for a week and I am so looking forward to it. I haven't seen her since January. ( I know "boohoo" it could be a whole lot longer!!) But anyway with her being pregnant it will be fun to see how big she is getting and also Aidyn is walking now and that will be fun. She and Evan bought a new house in February, so she has been excited to show us that too. It should just be a really fun time.
I guess that about catches you up on what is going on in my life. I'm also into getting the yard looking spiffy. I love Spring and Summer. Winter can get me down but when it warms up and turns green and beautiful outside, I just can't wait to get out there and get things done. Too windy today though. Might blow me all the way to Florida or something. Wouldn't that be a trip!! (One I would dearly love to make) Well I better get my self in gear again! You know how it goes "Busy, Busy, Busy!!"
