It's been awhile

We had a wonderful Christmas. We were all together this year. All of us except my wonderful and beautiful sister. She is in Austrailia right now. We miss her so much but get to skype often. We are hoping she gets to come home at the end of January. But we aren't sure where God is calling her right now.
I have been cleaning more houses right now which is always exciting and interesting. I love doing it and it helps out financially. I have applied at Salem Keizer schools and am waiting to hear on a interview I had last week.
I have not made this a secret that I am neither creative nor crafty. Oh I have my moments of thinking I want to be, but I'm not. The other day I had that feeling. So, Riley and I loaded up. Went to my parents. We got scrapbook paper, rubber stamps, all the fun stuff and came home to create our Thank you cards from Christmas. Well, we made 4 and stopped. I wasn't having fun. Riley wasn't having fun. We are just not that way. I am actually thinking of starting to send E-thank you cards. What do you think? Is that not personal enough. I really want my kids to show their appreiciation and thankfulness but they don't enjoy doing written ones and LOVE helping me choose on the computer. I feel like they are more actively involved if we do it that way.
Anyway, I have enjoyed reading your blogs and have actually started following some new ones due to finding blog friends of yours. I have been following one lady whose home burnt down the tuesday of Christmas. Thankfully their family has all survived. It has been interesting and humbling hearing how God is working through their lives.
Hope you are all well and have had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
