  • So..


    I know, you never thought I would be the type to give up on Revelife. Well the truth is I have been a bit jaded by the way the front page has gone and it has just made me not want to be on here at all. I still wanted to contribute to the front page, but I guess everything is changed.

    sigh.

    anyway, in real life, there is not a lot exciting going on, as usual. other than finding lots and lots of brown recluse spiders and their babies all over the outside of my house. at least they are on the outside (let's hope!) and not inside...we are getting traps tomorrow because we read that is the most effective way to control this specific spider. it makes me wonder if we really did have brown recluse in texas because these are different, and after doing thorough research I am 100% sure that is what these are. the nests and everything are exact. it's a bit unsettling.

    oh and shane and I broke our laptop...just the hard drive...luckily there was nothing too important on it and we can get a better one than we had for about $50. not like I am happy about spending $50, but I'm just glad it wasn't worse...so I am online more sporatically because I am sharing my dad's comp for the time being.

    Shane is getting more hours at the farm, because it is so busy there right now. Not ready to hire him full time yet, but we are also just about done working off the trade for veggies so we'll get paid for Monday's too. So really Shane is just short of full time, which is really helping a lot. That and we're trying to work out some to lower some of our bills and our rent has already graciously been lowered and is helping us a lot. I am really surprised how much money we are saving on groceries with the farm, I mean, we eat a LOT of vegetables but that is a huge savings! We are getting more things like garlic and onions, potatoes, some fruit like peaches and blueberries, and all sorts of veggies. It is so fun. I have been experimenting and I even learned how to make beets taste good. Maybe I will post the recipe. :)

    So I will try not to disappear totally. I do miss talking to some people on here. Sorry if I have neglected you.

  • News!


    I sold my guitar tonight! And for just a bit less than I wanted to, but actually a little bit more than the lowest price I would have settled on. So I am stoked! I can pay my rent!! and maybe even eat!

  • i am not actually a zombie...i just sort of feel like one.


    We made it home safe late Sunday night. We drove through the everglades so I could finally catch some alligators (we saw lots!) and got sort of side-tracked in Miami trying to find a place to park (we eventually gave up, but we wasted like an hour and a half) so it took forever to get home. We left about 6:15 that morning and got home at 11:45pm. Then we had to get up early (like 7am) Monday to return the rental car, Shane called in work to take the day off. When we got home from running errands we conked out for about 3 hours. I also slept about 10 hours last night, and after I went on a waaaay too long walk for how tired I am I conked out another 2 hours. I slept through the therapist here with my mom, a nurse coming and going, my dad knocked on my door...for those of you who know me at all this means I AM REALLY TIRED!!

    so vacation was nice, It was great spending a longer length of time with Shane's grandparents and his uncle's family, so I'm really grateful for that time.I feel a little bad for how much everything cost when we have responsibilities here, but I am glad we went because who knows when we will get to do it again. actually we really did not spend very much money at all, but shane had to miss work too so that makes it more difficult. we are hopeful he will be able to get more hours because things are really busy at the farm.  so we're working hard to try to get everything straightened out here financially and with our car and everything else...but I also have a lot of peace right now. I feel really sobered by the Lord and am trying to be attentive to Him and not worry about anything else.

    so

    that's really about it for now.

  • going home

     

    shane and i are getting up at 5am tomorrow/today, depending on when you read this, and will be driving all day [Sunday] back from Florida to home. It is a 12 hr drive but we are planning on taking our time, too, so we will be on the road a really long time. I'm looking forward to some alone time with my hubbie and hopefully we won't be zombies...so yeah maybe I'll catch you up when I get back and am not half asleep like right now...

     

    :)
