Snowy weekend...

Hello my lovey doves. I have been desperately wanting to start writing more often again and have not been able to find the time or energy. But, I promised my lovely and beautiful friend Chrissy that I would try to blog more often. ;)

So... it is Friday afternoon and I am watching last season's Project Runway re-runs as the snow keeps falling outside my window. My dad and step-mom drove 2 hours here this morning to get the boys for the weekend. We had made plans before we knew there was a snowstorm coming, so at first they drove halfway here and called to say they should maybe turn around and head back. The boys were SO disappointed, but then much to their happiness, my dad called back to say that they had already made it halfway and were just going to try to make it the rest of the way. I just got off the phone with them, the road is slick and they are having to drive very slowly, so I pray they make it home safely. Ugh, it's making me a nervous wreck!



Aside from that... the snow is so beautiful coming down and sticking to the row of pine trees alongside our house. We're supposed to get 6-10 inches this weekend. Thankfully I don't have any plans for the next couple of days other than going to church on Sunday to witness my close friend Kacy get baptized. :) For now though, I am happy to be warm and safe inside, curled up next to the space heater, under a throw blanket. I feel so very soft, sleepy, and day dreamy... I was thinking of taking a nap, but am worried it might disrupt my already messed up sleeping schedule. Or lack of it, I should say...

I have only been getting about 3-5 hours of sleep recently, as it seems in the evening after I lay down that my mind begins racing the most. So many changes are happening in my life and I have been really busy preparing. A lot of my time recently has gone to hours and hours of filling out online applications, as my desperate search for a job continues. Honestly, it is beginning to seem like a job itself. I am also continuing to finish homeschooling this year, as we thought it would be easier on the boys, compared to putting them in school here for half the year and then moving and having to put them through the process of changing schools yet again. But I have been trying for the past month or two to find a part-time weekend job, with hopes that I can transition back into full-time this summer/fall. Unfortunately, nobody seems to be hiring right now, so it is becoming a bit frustrating. I know that there has to be something out there for me, so I just keep on keeping on and having faith that God will open a door for me soon. :)

Besides that, I have been going through all of my stuff... trying to purge and organize and begin packing... once again! I still have several more months before moving, but time seems to be flying by and the more I can get done now, the less I have to worry about later. I am going to be downsizing quite a bit, so I am trying to figure out what to do with everything. I realized while going through all my belongings that I could practically open a small shabby chic boutique! It is going to be difficult to part with any of it, as it has taken me quite awhile to build up my Vintage-y collection. It all fits beautifully into my Victorian style home, but not sure how it's going to work in an apartment again... or how it's going to mesh with my new love's style, which is a bit more modern. Hmmm...



Oops, did I just accidentally spill a few beans? ;)

Ha, that's all I'm hinting at for now... but speaking of my magnificent man, I think a Las Vegas post is WAY overdue. Since I have a bit more time to myself this weekend, hopefully there will be more writing and photos to come very soon! I am also hoping to get caught up on reading some of your blog posts as well.

Btw, my dad just called and said they finally made it to their house. Whew, thank God... sigh of relief...

I pray that you are all healthy and happy.

Much love and hugs,

Erin



I have been listening to this song over and over...

While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve

Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Did I imagine they held us hypnotized
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes

Life in slow motion somehow it don’t feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don’t feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don’t feel real
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling now you’re my long lost friend
