one three o

* being able to read in the car on our way to the lake...not getting carsick is amazing!

* having a grand ole time on the waverunner on the lake with no one around...oh, the memories of past times on the waverunner w/ the fam!!

* feeling the spray of the water on my face and arms...amazing!

* a shower to get off the sunscreen and lake...LOVE the clean feeling!!

* getting stranded on the waverunner in the cove and not the middle of the LAKE!!

So here's the story to go w/ this one: After taking the waverunner out for my final spin (tear!), I drove back into the cove and Grandaddy gave me the sign that he was on his way down to the ramp to load up the waverunner. At first, I was just waiting around with the motor on and finally was like, I might as well turn it off and save some gas. WELL, little did I know, that it would not start back up again!! [And in my defense, it was a battery problem, not because I ran out of gas! :)] SO, I had to swim and pull the waverunner back to the dock - man, was this hard work...GD hopped into the water at the end and helped me pull it to the ramp then and we loaded it on ... oh what an adventure. I'm soo glad this didn't happen in the middle of the lake though! No one was out on the lake (which was great for me, but could have been bad for being stuck out there!)... and I even turned off the engine once to get in the water - thank the Lord, it turned back on!!!! This has been adventures with Keeping up with the Kidd ... hope you enjoyed my 130th day of GST! :D lol

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't

a little check in on life over here

-- We had our "big reveal" on facebook. It looks like we'll be having another little girl! We're thrilled for a little sister for Zoey, plus the bonus of recycling all our baby girl clothes is awesome! But most importantly, baby is healthy and all is looking well!-- -- The weather here has been so great. We've been meeting lots of friends at playgrounds and parks and going for walks. It's fun to be able to play on the playground with Zoey now that she can walk and do things! But also very tiring for this pregnant mama! --  -- We've been doing lots of house things ... looking at doors, fences, different types of floors, kitchen appliances, etc. Next WEEK , they will start the digging part of building the house and then the following week , the basement will be built!! YAY, things are finally getting started!! So curious to see how all this is going to go. We stopped some new neighbors and introduced ourselves and let them now things wi

Done w/ orientations!!

On Thursday, the last day of orientations was completed! All the new staff has had a busy last 3 weeks, but they were very informative (sometimes overload on information though). It feels great to be done with orientations and to be starting school. School starts on Monday and things at the school have been crazy trying to get things ready to go. There is a rather large construction project taking place at the school and we have been working on that since the construction workers are behind schedule ... we've been tearing off paint, repainting, cleaning, etc. My classes will not start until Thursday, since elementary has half days until then. I'm so thankful for the extra time to get things done and be prepared for my classes. I'm a bit unsure as of what to do in classes ... so I'm hoping I'll come across some great ideas! Prayers for this are greatly appreciated!
