Lovin' Life!

"As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man" Prov. 27:19

I hope I am reflecting good things. Like Christ in me and the love I feel for Him and the people around me. This verse just stood out at me this morning. What is my heart reflecting? What am I showing other people? Hmmm....

Things are starting to get into a good routine now. Jeremiah has been in school for 2 weeks and we are getting in the swing of things. My hours at Lowe's are much better than before and I am loving the job. It is so much fun to wait on people and have them smiling when they leave your line. You even get to know the ones that come in often. It really is a great job. The one draw back would be that I am getting ideas about doing some fun things to the house and yard. I have been buying perennials for 25% or their original price or less. And I got some cool border stones for free as they have water stains on them from being used as displays. Now just have to get out there and put them up where I want them.
I've been looking at kitchens too. I think I have decided on Hickory cabinets, wood flooring and one new appliance....a dishwasher. Also will get new counter tops after cabinets are in. May have to watch for a fridge too. We will see. Not planning the remodel till next year. The cupboards that are now in the kitchen will go in the wash room which also needs repair and it will be first. Just need some sheetrock up and then can put the cupboards in there. I think I know what I want it to be like but need to take some measurements and then do a little designing.
James is going hunting for Elk. He is so excited that he can hardly see straight. I hope he gets one this time. He has been bowhunting for about 3 or 4 years now and usually just sees them or calls them in but doesn't get a good shot off. So I'm praying that he will be safe, have fun and get that Elk he wants so bad!!! He is going with a group of Christian men so should be fun for him.
Jeremiah is loving school. He rides the bus to and from school and thinks he is big stuff. He brings home lots of papers everyday that he has done. He is such a smart little cookie. He can write his name properly, and is writing his letters and numbers. Also loves Science because of the water tables. And loves to get snake books at the library. He gets to see his Grandma J when he has computer lab so that is fun too.
I hope he keeps on loving it. He is such a sweet boy.
I've pretty much decided to quit selling Creative Memories. I'm still scrapbooking but I just don't have time to do much more. Hopefully I'll be able to have some crops just for fun with the ladies. They have all been so much fun to scrap with.
Well I suppose I better get in gear. I want to finish my devotions and pickup a little before going to do the grocery shopping for the week. You all have a wonder day and remember to let your heart reflect the joy within!!! Love you all!
