Changes

Well, life rolls along as it always does. We have moved and are getting settled into a new routine. We are now in a house with three bedrooms and a HUGE backyard. The kids seem to enjoy their own space ALOT. I am enjoying having my own space a LOT!
Lloyd got a new job and now works for the state of Texas! It is a Monday through Friday job with vacation time, benefits, ect. We are truly blessed by a faithful God! He sure does know when to let you suffer a little and when to releve you.
I have noticed lately that I have been feeling more tired than is normal for me. I am not sure if it is just aging, lack of sleep, or what. I know that I feel less stress than I have in a long time. So, I really don't think it is entirely stress related. (maybe a little stress)
I am also anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 2 new nephews. Logan and Nathan. My brother and sister-in-law are pregnant with twins and are due in October. I can't think of anyone in the world that would be more excited about having kids born around Halloween than him! I can't wait to meet them and love on them and show then how much their Aunt Julia loves them SO much! Also their cousins Esther and Micah ask everyday if they can look at pictures of Nant Natalie and the babies. They also pray everyday for their cousins.
"Dear God, thankyou for Nant Natalie, Uncle Todd, and my cousins, keep them safe and let them have fun. Please let me share my toys with them and be nice so they won't cry. "
Another developement which I am sure is no surprise to anyone that knows me, I have decided to homeschool Esther and Micah, at least for now. The plan is to home school them until at least I graduate with my bachelors or masters. Basically if things go well with homeschooling we will keep it up, but if we feel the kids would do better in a school atmosphere AND we can afford the private school of our choice we will put them there. (Any suggestions of schools that we can look at this coming year?)
We are also with out a car.... technically. We have our Explorer and it is still running but we never know when it taken its last trip. We are currently borrowing Lloyd's sister's car and we have it for another 3 weeks. So we have 3 more weeks of having a car and currently no chance of getting one before that 3 weeks is up. I KNOW that God will provide as He always does but I am interested to see how it is going to work out.
Well I hear a cring 2 year old so that is my cue to end this post. May you all have a very Blessed Day!
