Summer's Almost Here!

Omg, I can't believe Summer's almost here!! It feels like the year just began. Well, we are all gearning up for Summer and making big plans. This will be a different kind of Summer for us because I am going to work a part-time job for the first time during the Summer. The kids all insist they will be fine, so I think this is gonna be harder on me than on them. :-) Russell is scheduled to take a CPR class in June (this will ease my mind a bit), and Lee is working a yard job for the Summer so he will be home most of the day as well. We are wanting to go camping this summer so we will see if we can get that in. Being that I am working at Farmer's Pools I am praying that our pool will be in better shape (now that I know what I'm doing, lol!), which will mean a Summer full of swimming and fun by the pool!! We are also hoping that Lee's nieces and nephews get to come and spend some time with us as well. As for school, everyone is doing well, and the boys are getting ready for finals. I can't believe that Russell will be a Junior next year, and it will be Maddie's last year in elementary school! They sure grow up fast! Well, here's to hoping the Summer is peaceful, full of fun, and restful!! Thank you Jesus in advance for an amazing Summer!!!

Christmas was fun...now back to reality!

I absolutely love the Christmas season! This Christmas was no different. My mom came in for Thanksgiving, and we had a wonderful time with her!! Then for Christmas we opened presents here and then headed to Texas to spend the rest of the holiday with Lee's family. The kids were super excited because they got a Connect for the XBox, so needless to say it went to Texas with us. We had a wonderful and restful time in Texas. It was in the 6o's and 70's the whole week...lets just say moma did not pack everyone for summer :-( Lee's parents did not know we were coming so when we arrived they were so excited to see him. The entire week was full of seeing family and sharing memories. It was also a chance for me to polish up on my Spanish...this year I think I managed not to say anything stupid!!! Whoo hoo!! When we returned from Texas it did not take long for life to get back to normal. So far this year we have had several accomplishments...we finished our 21 day Fast (PTL!!), we had an extreme night of Worship at the Church, we held our Winter Intercession Gathering (that went beautifully), and I have learned and worked (parts) of the media boards at the Marble Hill location of CFA! Whew! And its only the 25th of January!! Looks like it is going to be an amazing year for the Sanchez Family!
