What would we do without...

So I got to thinking... scary I know. 
What would we do without certain people in our lives. Just as a example. I have a friend April, whose husband Shawn, is a mechanic. She has been wanting me to have him look at my car for awhile. Because of a couple things she noticed while driving my car, back in December. So yeah, I kept saying "NO" just because I knew he was busy. Well Wednesday a week ago my car took it out of my hands. I had gone by their house to drop off some stuff after our Bible study that night. As we were outside talking, I kept seeing this little puff of smoke. The more we talked the bigger that puff got. Well needless to say, it didn't go away. So I turned my car off and April went and got Shawn. It was a coolant hose. Great! So he's already looking at fixing my breaks, and now I have a hose that split right in front of his house!! I have the best luck! Well... it ended up being a good thing he started working on it. When Shawn got working on my breaks he saw that my break line had a leak. SO needless to say, something that was going to be a small job turned into something a little bigger. I'm sooo glad he caught it though!! I don't want to think what would have happened, if I had been going down the freeway and all of a sudden didn't have breaks. Sooo yes I can now say I should have asked him sooner but, it wouldn't have been so much fun if I had of. :) Thanks Shawn, and April. ;)
I don't know what I would do without you guys. 


So hope you all have had a good week. On Monday I went with Shawn, April, and the boys to the Ft. Worth Stock Yards. Just to hang out and take a couple family pics. We also took Flat Stanley along with us for their cousins school project. I had a good time as always. If I may say so we got some cute shots. Then today I went to April's Pampered Chef party and had a blast!! I had never been to one before so it was something new. I decided to book a Catalog party off of hers so, now I get to have some fun! One more day left to this work week and I can't wait! I'll be doing a Pre-K class tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. Well I better get going.

Update

Okay so I said on my last post I would let you know what the surprise was for my parents. Well I got busy and forgot until a friend asked what they were. Surprise 1 was a new dryer for my mom. We got a washer that you could stack a few years ago, and have wanted to get the dryer to. So one day Parker & I ran all over TX it felt like trying to get the dryer. Needless to say we finally got it home and set up. I must say I like how it looks.
Next we got a shed for the lawn mower, weed whip, edger, and all other lawn cutting things.
The shed was a pain because we got one size thinking it would work... and then it was too small. By that point the trash service had already taken the box so, we weren't sure if Lowe's was going to take it back. Needless to say we ended up taking it back and after LOTS of problems, we got a bigger shed. It looks nice having the garage empty of all that stuff.
Another exciting thing... I PASSED MY FINALS!!!! I'm soooo happy about that. Now on to the second semester. :) 

Goals For The Week

Well with my parents being gone this week, I had a few things I wanted to get done BEFORE they got back. So here they are. :)

1. Have a garage sale Friday & Saturday.

2. Buy the first surprise for my mom.

3. Buy the second surprise for my mom & dad.

4. Clean the house. (which is kinda hard to do when you have piles of stuff to sell.)

5. Get the surprises set up so they can see them when they get home.

6. Don't go stir crazy with all the messes in our house.

7. Not eat Shawn & April out of house and home while my parents are gone. :

8. Learn to relax a little bit more.

9. Trust that the Lord is in control of everything.

10. Rest.

I must say I've gotten some of this list done but not all of it. The surprises are bought AND set up. So far I think Shawn & April still have food. ;) If not I can go shopping for them. Tomorrow is 1 day closer to Friday. Then I can clean the house before Sunday when the parents come home. So yeah I might get it done. :) The last 3 will take a little bit longer to change, but I'm working on it.

Hope you all have a good rest of the week.

My prayers are with each one of you.

P.S. As for the surprises, I would tell you what I got but, my Mom reads my blog so I can't tell you guys. When they get back I'll let you know what they were. ;) 

Finals

Well today I took my finals. I was SO nervous!! I got started around 3:36 and had 2 hours to finish 2 tests. With a 15 min break between each one. As I started I felt like I was going to get it done sooner then the 2 hour mark. After I read the tests I wasn't so sure. I got the the first test okay but, when it came time to start the second test I was trying to find the answer's in the wrong book. :) Once I realized what I had done I rushed to finish the test. I was so frustrated at myself for making that mistake. I had wasted time trying to find the answer's in the wrong book! Well once I was finished I was a bundle of nerves. Now the wait to see how I did. After I finished I headed to our meeting hall to help with the meal April was doing. Yummy Chicken Salad sandwiches with fruit salsa and chips. Dessert was very good chocolate chip cookies. It was sing night but April didn't want to take the boys since it was going to be at the Bradley's house. With the boys being sick so much right now it wouldn't be good. So she came over to our house. :) I'm just hoping that I get a good grade on my finals!!! Daddy's in CA right now so we are praying for him while he's there. That everything will go smooth and someone will quit being a pain.
