Good Cold Water!

I have been going to the river to swim these past few days and man does it feel good!! Tomorrow I"m going to Steele Creek with my friend Kim and her family. I love where I live, b/c it's just a 5 min. or less drive and I'm at the river with my cuzin! My cousin and I both married best friends and that's great b/c we're best friends! We grew up on the same dirt road and now we live just a short drive from each other. The Lord is good! And we get to go to the same church, although we had to leave our home churches. Anyways, this swimming hole has a long dirt road that we could drive down to, but their is a gate and the lock was changed, so we can't just open it as we please anymore. So we have to go down three hills to get to the river and then climb back up those three hills on our way back. I bought some floats today at Dollar General so we blowed them up and went to floating! Steele Creek is a big campground up 181. It has a big beach area that you can lay out in the sun and two diving boards. We're not going to camp, we're just going to spend the day there!! Can't wait!

School's Out, Summer's Here

Thank goodness summer is here! Summer school is already going full force though. It was really hectic trying to get the work done for school while I still had to work. I'm starting to get a little caught up! Another thing I need to get caught up on is my garden. It has exploted! We put chicken menure on it and with all the rain and more rain that we've had, everything just keeps blooming. I went out there today with a bag...and well my bad wasn't big enough! We've planted corn, green beans, squash, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, potatoes, radishes, peas, okra, and a few other things. People don't realize how much work it is to take care of a garden. I can and freeze just about everything in it. It really saves us a lot of money by doing this and plus I love veggies!

Another thing I'm doing this summer is water aerobics. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before. I finally went on this past Monday after a month break from it. They took off the bubble on the pool, then it started raining every afternoon so it was cancelled. Then summer school started back, so not that I'm not working at the middle school I'll have time to go in the mornings and class stuff at night.

This has been my first week off of school and absolutely love it! I think I could stay at home all the time. This is one of my goals in life and something I've prayed about for a long time that I"ll be able to stay at home with my children. I know it may not work out on paper, but I think we'll be ok financially. We'll both just have to give up a lot and not eat out as much. I know if I don't stay at home I will regret it , b/c you'll never get those early stages of your kids back.

I really need to post more often so I can remember what I wrote the last time!!
