As I continue to work on my crafts, which I wish I had more time to work on. I will be working on my knitting project more this weekend. I am trying to put my priorities in the proper place. Right now, knitting is the least on that list.
This post is to introduct a new blog I'm going to start. With Valentines Day coming soon, I want to start a blog on Love, Marriage, and real life couples. I am still in the beginning phase and haven't even come up with a name yet. That will all be completed today. I will be discussing my marriage and the changes it has gone through.
I'm one of those people that doesn't believe 24 hours is enough. As a wife that works outside and inside the home, I have feel most of the time I have little time for me. This will be some of the things I will discuss in my next blog. I hope that I will find time in each day to work on my craft.

Happy New Year 2013
Well looking back over the last year, we have a lot to be thankful for. The earth didn't disappear on either predicative date, God showed everyone. We have lived through several storms and fires.
For me personally, when I look back I can see where God has been working in my life. I put in for a transfer at work, the position I originally interviewed for. Within a matter of weeks, we interviewed and hired a great nurse to replace me. I still wonder everyday when she sleeps. Then my first day of a 3 week vacation the storm hit. We were without electric for a week,spent most of the vacation money on a hotel. When the electric came back on the water heater went out. There goes more vacation money. We did go to Ohio to visit family, and had a good time. In sept the new nurse started, and I took my new position, float nurse, I floated straight to another area where a nurse left. I have been there since. God has been working on my impatience. A nurse has finally been hired and starts next monday.
I have been working on my prayer life. I pray every morning on my way to work. For the past several months I have ask God to take the desire for alcohol away from hubby. This has been done. Thank you God. During this past year we have had some bad and good times. We worked through the bad, rejoiced in the good, and Praised God through both.
This month me and hubby will be married 26 years. We are happy, and have come a long way. I thank God for giving the wisdom to not walk away. Today it is too easy to give up. We may not do much to celebrate, but that's ok. Just knowing we have beat the odds, and love each other, is enough.
Looking forward into a new year. I'm going to quit smoking and I know God will be there to help me. I am going to try to live my life more pleasing to God. I feel lead to start my next career move, but somethings have to be put in place. We have to either remodel this home, or buy another one. Then set up a nursery. What is this career move you ask. I want to become a foster mother to drug born babies. Please pray with me concerning this.
Hope all have many blessings in 2013.

Christmas is over
Ok I have to admit I didn't get everything done. I am still crocheting for Christmas. I did make all the guys hats, I still have several things to finish. I have been working all day on the grandchildren from work gifts. I have the hats completely and 1 set of mittens. When I finish this I still have the neices, and kids hats to complete. I also have an outfit for a girl at work, and the dedication dress for the God grandchild.
I want to make Dinky another sweater, one that will fit. I have some pom pom yarn given to me, and I'm going to try to knit a scarf with. I still have my sweater to finish as well. below is a picture of one hat and mittens set I've made. Yes we are Ohio State fans. This was for our youngest grandson.
Sounds like it's a good thing I took a week off work. I just want to say the all the items I make are not my own. I find the patterns online mostly at ravelry.com. This site is for crafters to post their stuff. All the patterns I use are free to make.
We went to Ohio for Christmas, and just missed the storm. Really enjoyed spending time with mom, and seeing the family. I miss the family, but was glad to be home before the storm. We got ice and sleet, wind and cold. They got snow and more snow. I don't miss that.

Christmas time
It has been awhile since I have blogged anything. A lot has been going on here. Our oldest son has moved here from Ohio so right now he is staying with us. He has found a job and trying to get through the holidays. Then about a month after he moved here, our youngest daughter moved back home. Don't get me wrong I love having my kids here, but there is more work to do. 3 of our 4 have moved home.
During all of this, our youngest daughter became a God-Mother. So we now have 5 grandchildren, or 4 grandchildren and 1 God grandchild. Madison is so beautiful, and sweet. I finally got to meet her last night. My daughter has a professional camera, but has misplaced the charger. As soon as it's found we are going to have a photo session. I am going to put a photo from last night below.
Madison and Grandma Kim.
On to the next thing. Christmas has become so commercialized that we have decided to do something different this year. Each of the Kids and grandkids will get 3 gifts just like Jesus. They will get a gift they need, a gift they want, and a gift I make. As you can see I have been busy crocheting. We have 4 children, 2 in-law children, 4 grandchildren. I also have 4 children that call me Grandma. This doesn't count for the neices and nephews. I still have a lot of crocheting to do. I have 6 completed, and working on the 7th one. Oh and I still have a fulltime job to go to everyday, and a house to take care of. So as you can see, there has been time for blogging.
I'm going to end this now, I will post pictures of the crochet items later.

Catching up
It has been an amazing summer. I have made one baby outfit. Working on another. I have also started my winter sweater.
I changed positions at work. Now I actually work with all the Docs, and am loving it. I really like the nurse that took my position. Several things have changed at the office. We loss 2 nurses, one to a new job, and one to disability. We also had a referral person retire, manager retired early. The lead for the front desk is moving to a new job. As you can see we have several positions open, some have been filled. Still have a nurse poistion, and front staff. I have interviewed for a position closer to home, still waiting to hear.
In July, I took 3 weeks off. The first day the storm hit, and I had no electric for a week. We did go to Ohio for part of a week. Had a good time visiting family. Spent time with the grandkids. I just love them to death.

Happy Easter
Easter 2012, woke up at 6am. I really want to get back to church, but I'm having a hard time moving. I still have to go to the store, and I'll be cleaning house this afternoon.
I hope that everyone remembers the true meaning of today. Jesus rose from the grave, to give us hope for a future beyond our comprehension. Remember what Jesus did for all of us, He loves us even if we ignore Him. I LOVE HIM.
I have been working on my sweater, it's over half done, will probably finish this week. Will post a picture when it's complete.

My long weekend
This week I took thursday and friday off, which gave me a 4 day weekend. Thursday I sat around with the DH. He got a call from a friend asking him if he wanted to ride out to Washington State with him. Now let me say here, my DH is a disabled truck driver. This was the first time he has been on the road since November. I told him to go, this gave me some alone time to get stuff here done. I got a call for an interview. Set it up for friday morning, just before DH was to leave out. The job is closer to home, but would be approximately 3.25 per hour decrease in pay. I'll continue to car pool for that. I took DH to meet his buddy at noon. When I got home I took a nap, finished supper, and cleaned the bathrooms.
I got DH a bigscreen TV and recliner as gifts for several holidays. He enjoys nascar racing. However our front room is small, and his chair was sitting in the doorway to the bedroom. Our youngest daughter can down late friday night, and stayed the night. We got up early this morning and started cleaning. I cleaned off DH's desk, moved it out. Cleaned off my old desk and moved it to thefront room for DH. Set up his stuff. Moved a file cabnet, and end table. we did not have anything between the chair to sit cups or a lamp on. I also got stuff unplugged thatwe are not using, such as the broken fax machine and land line phone. The freed up another surge protecter. I moved the couch down and the chairs over. With the additional surge protecter DH and I have our own power strip. His recliner has the heat and vibrater in it. I was also able to get my police scanner set back up. We also moved things in the kitchen which gave me more room there.
Tomorrow will be spent going through stuff and putting it away, and finishing the house. I also have to balance the check book, pay bills, and grocery shop. Groceries will be easy this week, as it will be just me and son. Hopefully I'll get some crocheting done tomorrow. I miss my DH, he has been home since November. House is empty with him gone, but I can't get anything done when he is home.
I hope everyone had a blessed weekend.
