Catch up, again!!!

Well I have been busy trying to get last minute details just in case our interview at the end of the month does not get postponed. Today I was ready to shoot a Bee-Bee at a doctor. I asked for my medical records and a letter stating a condition that I had. I wouldn't have asked for a letter if he hadn't of treated me for it. He said no and that this other doctor should write the letter. I inform in that I already have a letter from that doctor but would like a letter from him to further prove my point. Actually this was the Office Manager and I broke down crying...got off the phone with no letter...went to the bathroom and noticed that I was late for the production meeting..as I was going to the bathroom I heard my phone ringing...I ignored because I knew who it was. Our PM always hunts me down, if I don't answer then he comes to my cube asking if I am coming...never does that to anyone else. So this morning I got a little short with him....but he apologized and said that he realized that I was in the middle of something. Least to say a 30 minute meeting I might have said 5 words...kind of pointless for my side. Anyways....I went and met the cutest boy ever and spent my lunch break with him...Aydan. He has been a few weeks since he has been over at his primo's house...he didn't cry either time I left and he is getting to be a big boy.
Tonight I wanted spaghetti. Hubby was to meet a guy across town to look at his truck. Hubby still has truck...but I am praying the Lord's will be done...I don't want to sell it. When Aydan hears daddy coming he takes off running to the door...but anyways I tell Hubby that since he is on that side of town to go to a certain grocery store b/c they sell our favorite kind of Ragu Sauce. He calls stating he is in another grocery store closer to home. I am disappointed because we haven't had this sauce in over 2 years, but I give him the list (one more time): hamburger meat, Ragu Sauce, tossed salad, and garlic bread...here's what he came home with: meat, Laura Lynn Sauce, tossed salad, two packs of Ranch dressing (where did that come from), bananas (where did that come from) . So I told him when he called asking for the list a 2nd time, I gave specifics on what to buy...least to say I wanted to cry...why I wanted to cry? I don't know....supper turned out good anyways.
We have company going to stay with us this weekend. I am excited and shocked all at the same time. B/c if you had told me a few years ago this was going to come to past, I would have laughed in your face and turned and walked away. Not bad towards this couple but because I never thought that we be sort of good friends. But there is a reason for this and I am laughing because the two hubbies are really on two different levels (more than one way) but the Lord knows what is in store.
Tomorrow night we have to go and buy some bathroom accessories. Our spare bathroom set was sold and is currently empty, in need of something. So since we are going to have company, I think they would appreciate at least a shower curtain. Aydan needs some Sunday dress clothes, he has out grown them all. Hubby thinks I will bring home something horrible so he is missing class (against my will) to go shopping. Hubby offered to by me an outfit, I haven't put it out of the question just yet, because I might find something I like but I did tell Hubby that Aydan needs it more than I do.
Hubby's primo wrote a letter on his behalf for our interview. Primo recently got permanent status so that is another plus on our side. Medical records are coming in from every where, Thank the Lord. I got my Immunizations up to date....painful...painful for a few days...but we are threw with them until 2 months and then I go for the 2nd dose. Poor Aydan, he still has too many to get....I am off of here.. we are down to 2 ladies at work and we are splitting the load. Do not know when a replacement will arrive. Love being off the phones and in my new cube...feels like I have a real office job. I told Mariano it would really be a bummer for me to go in after our interview and say I am quitting...if permanent status is applied....but I don't have my hands on that one God does. But I told Mariano it is nice to think that in December we could make an announcement that we are going to have a baby...if permanent status is permitted!!!! So this brings me to a sign at a church I saw. Love it....The task ahead of you is NEVER too greater than the power behind you....it meant alot to me Saturday to read that....I told Mariano and then I felt like preaching to him Saturday night in which I did...he fell asleep. Such an encouragement my hubby...Oh AAAANNNNDDD...Sunday night he put his arm around me (can't really remember if I put it there or he did it freely, but anykawho) we had pray over at our Pastor's house and he left it there until we were threw. Yea I know majority of people had their eyes close but that is like the first time ever.....are we getting somewhere...praise the Lord after 5 years I believe so!!! Lord help the next 5!!!

Trials...

Kind of like men, can't live with them and can't live without them. But I know that without trials then I will not be able to see God's goodness, glory, mercy, faithfulness, love, strength, power and the list goes on and on. Today I was hit with a trial that eventually will come out but for now I wish for it to remain anonomous, (maybe not the word I was looking for, but will do for now). But low down Satan tried hitting me with a blow. I will admit it sent me swaying and rocked my feet back and forth a little but then MY GOD came and brought memories to me!!! I serve God for several reasons one being his faithfulness. Sometimes trials will hit you in the back and you never saw them coming but not every trial happens that way. God can give you the 'heads up' on when you have a trial coming your way. God is SO faithful that after he has given you the 'heads up,' that he will began to deliver grace, strength and encouragement to get through trials. Trials have reasons and some we will never know the reason behind until we cross the border. But to every trial we need to desire to find the reason why? For our spiritual growth or others spiritual growth? or for God to be glorified. I feel that this trial might be the worse I ever face but God has known what he was doing in my life all long. For 25 years he has watched over me so I don't have a reason to doubt him now. He has been watching for longer than 25 and history has never gave a reason to doubt him. God has always had the final and winning say. Soon he will take his "Victory Lap" and claim those who have worshipped him. So Devil this Dark Cloud that you have put in my way is several things. A mountain for no coward, a victory without defeat, a trial to strengthen me for the next one, a way to bring me closer to God, a testimony and at last, to bring God Glory!!! To him it is due!!! Keep encouraged....we haven't crossed the river but think of all the victories we will live tell and hear about.....And all the praises, should be given to my saviour, for he's the one who picked me up, when I was down all the way, And all the praises, should be given to my Jesus, for he's the one who made me what I am today....love you God and I love you Jesus!!!

1. Do you pass gas in front of your spouse/partner? Why Hello YES!!! I am not living in pain. Everyone knows my family...enough said...but I don't go around purposefully doing it, but if he is around and it is an 'appropriate place' then yes. He does it too!!! BTW - Mariano just did it. This brings another question...how many think the word 'fart' is bad word?

2. Do you make your bed everyday? Nope, only on Saturdays. I get up, get ready for work and get Aydan out because he is still sleeping and take him to whomever is watching him that day.

3. Do you floss everyday? No, really don't know of anyone that is faithful to that. But I do floss every now and then.

4. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? No, as long as I have by body pillow, Mariano and Aydan I sleep just fine.

5. Do you eat when you are not hungry? Who doesn't get the munchies??? Have you looked at me lately???

6. Is your car always messy? No, if you knew my husband then you know about this compulsive disorder to keep things clean. Our marriage is alot better when then car is clean.

7. How often do you clean your bathtub and shower? When it needs it!!!

8. When is your quiet time with the Lord? Mostly driving....singing songs gives me a lot on inspiration to get through the day. This weeks song on my mind has been "I bless your name, I bless your name. We give you honor, give you praise. You are the light, the truth, the way. I bless your name, I bless your name."

9. Do you cry when you get angry? With my temper, usually there's not time for crying with I have all that hot air coming out of my mouth...nope just kidding. No, I do not cry when I am angry.


Okay, sheets, mattress',carpet, curtains, showers, clothes, and whatever else you could think of has been washed and sprayed. As for the last question, I was angry today because a grandmother had been negligence on taking care of an issue and spreading it around and I did feel like crying. But thank the Lord, my household is free of infestation!!!

Back to my book, I am on the last part. Wonderful book, that is where I get my romance because my hubby didn't stand in line for that when God was handing that out.

Catching UP

Well I hope to have some pictures for you guys later on. But Aydan did something to day for the first time....he peed in the potty!!! I sat him yesterday in the potty and waited, and waited, and waited and no pee-pee. But he knows what his pee-pee is...so we went straight to his room to get a diaper and change his clothes. He peed in the kitchen floor!!! Mariano mopped it up but Aydan was starting to cry like he knew that he had done bad. Which is bad but that hasn't been something that we have corrected him before on. This morning I woke up, after going to bed after 1:00 in the morning. The Rose Legacy has got my attention!!! I am PATIENTLY waiting for book #2 & 3. Hopefully will get to tonight, in that case, I probably won't be posting anytime soon. But anyways, got dressed and got Aydan up. Went to the potty, sat and waited, listening...nothing. So I decided to brush his teeth thinking that maybe that would change. But then Aydan pointed to the big potty, ours. So I took up his seat and put in the the big potty. He sat and we brushed his teeth. The funny thing is that Aydan doesn't know how to get down from that one so he had to stay put. After we brushed his teeth I rinsed the brush, turned around and saw him pee-peeing. Least to say, his look on his face was like nothing was going on. So I was applauding him for what he did and he just stopped mid-way. Like he was scared. So he didn't' finish, at least I don't think so. But that was a first for me. Still a long way ahead to go.
Yesterday was my company's pick-nick. Really nice and not to crowded. We played two sessions of bingo, didn't win nothing. Then the Scavenger Hunt game!!!! We had teams of 10 but some of the players didn't come so we had to split up to 5 people per team, eight teams total. The winners got $50 gas cards and since we broke the teams up to 5 people then the winning team actually got $100 gas cards. Do the math....and guess who was on the winning team??? ME!!! Yep they will come in handy, I was excited. Aydan got to play in the family games and his team one as well. He picked side walk chalk. I had a good time, Mariano came and was excited.
Well today is Grandparents Day. A few Saturdays ago, I had a yard sale and Mom and Dad asked could they take Aydan. I don't like for them to have him on Saturdays because they have him 4 other days during the week, but I let him go. Well some guy at the flea market was taking pictures and they were developed in less than 5 minutes. So Dad, Mom & Aydan had a quick picture. So I took the picture and took it to the News Herald because they had and add in the paper. Mariano bought a Sunday paper today and I told him that Mom would probably read the paper this evening and maybe she will see their picture. I thought that the page would be full but there is only one other one there. It is in the Gab Green section, which I feel like Mom won't even bother to look...so we will have to, more than likely, have to tell her that it is in the paper.
Work is good, since I have part time help now with the phones, for some reason or another I really feel like I have an office job. Love being off of the phones!!!
