Fall Anyone???

Can't wait for nice fall weather...these pictures kinda make you think it is just around the corner? We had another great day taking pictures with new fall clothing we just got in...make sure and stop by www.thebellaboutique.net and tell your apostolic friends we have lots of skirts coming for girls!!! I would like to thank "Tina" for taking time out to let us come take pictures....her girls are great models!!!

Play-night with Friends...

We had a great night out with my friends that I nanny for...Jennifer who is 14 was in a play at the Samford Theater last night and Mallory and I went to see her...we had a great time as we had no idea what a great singer and actress she is.....Her parents (whom we dont see too much because her mom is a traveling Doctor and her dad is a contractor) met us there and we really enjoyed our time together! Mallory thought she was BIG STUFF going to a play!

Nursing? Who would have thought?????

God is so good, isnt he? And right on time, dont you think? Funny how He changes our direction right in the middle of what 'we' think is best? Well that is just what He has done in my life this very week....I was and I mean WAS heading to class in September for Medical Coding but about 3 weeks ago we found out that my present job (that I have had for almost 3 years now) is going to abruptly END first of September? Bummer, you might think; but really it is a GOD THANG! Sure I could panic or be upset as to how I am going to make it from here but God being God has stepped in right on time...He has made a way for me to start classes in a whole different direction and for my betterment I am positive!

I found out about a program that a local hospital offers that will allow you to come work for them as a Nursing Assistant for a year and then enable you to stop working (but keep your salary) and they will send you to school to get your RN to be a nurse! In return you contract with them to return to thier hopital to work for 2 years once you are an RN!!! How awesome is that? Soooooo I asked God to make a way and order my steps if this is what He wanted me to do and low and behold.......I have found a CNA program that just happens to start NEXT WEEK that I can enroll in and it takes 5 weeks to complete then you take your certification and BAM there I will be on my way in a whole new direction that otherwise would not have happened if I had not lost my job!!!!!!!!!!

Now all the little details like paying my bills for September and feeding my little ones...well let's just say...That will be a GOD THANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Keep us in your prayers!!!!!!!!!!!

Well here is the 'famous" navy ship that Bailey bought and built this past week! He was so proud ;) He has been working hard cutting grass for some friends this summer and decided that he would "buy" something he could make himself so I had to post this pic!

Dance Dance Dance CAMP....

It's that time of year again...Dance Camp at the JCC....I have been teaching a great group of 20 girls all week and thought you might like to see some cute pictures of them all hanging out! What a blessing it has been to be with them all week and watch them learn all kinds of new things...It will be sad to see it end until next year...;(
