4:21 pm - faith in prayer
|
|
wed night bible study was on prayer...honestly I think I lack in faith....that whatever prayer I ask for may or may not be answered, depending on what God wants to do anyways...and what I got from the bible lesson was that God wants us to ask...and in even in the other chapter said that it was answered because it was asked boldly...honestly I am not there faith wise at the moment.

We went to Sunol regional park on Sunday. It was our second attempt on Sat. we went too close to nap time and Noah begged to go home. It was good hiking and throwing rocks in the river.
My sister is pretty stressed and her husband is being messed up. He is telling Colin to his face "I wish you were never born" screaming at him all the time. So prayers are needed just for her husband to stop being so selfish and to be nice to my sister and Colin.

I'm going to Santa Cruz this weekend. I went there last weekend but I didn't get enough. We are going to celebrate Joey's sisters b-day there and bring our dogs.
On 4th of July I am going to the community parade and let noah scooter in the parade since that is one of his favorite things to do next to baseball.
Then fireworks at joeys parents.
The following weekend we are going camping...it will be noah's first camping trip.My dad is going to bring the sail boat and canoes he built. I haven't hanged out with him much but I want to before Lou Geriqs sets in.
I spend most of my time on the baseball field with Noah. He has got all the oversized gear and knows all the stances of the players. He looks like a bobble head with the big helmet on. His cousin is into baseball as well they play catch. Colin's 2nd b-day was over the weekend.

I am planning on starting taking classes in Architecture this fall at Chabot and get my feet wet. I am going to meet with the councelor on Monday. I think after a few classes I can change jobs to a draftsman while going to school. There are only two schools to get a degree around here CCAC and Berkeley both probably pretty expensive and hard to get into. Graphic design I'm good at but its not my dream job.
(I looked into prices Chabot $26 per unit, CCAC $1,151 per unit, UC Berkeley $3,717 per semester)

I got a puppy on Monday a little boxer. She is cute she follows me around and is a little lap dog. She has little white paws and a wrinkled face. She is about the size of two of my hands. I like that Noah is bigger than her so that when she jumps on him she doesn't knock him down. She sleeps a lot since she is only 8 weeks old.
I've been trying to figure out how to create an website for the nursery, and how to create barcodes and scanners for the actual product. I don't know what software is best to keep track of the products for online and those that I'll sell in person.
Noah has been learning so many new words. He says puppy, down, cool, ABCDE, and more. He likes to get the puppy to chase him around the house. He got a bag a dragged it on the floor and the puppy would jump on it.
For the house we are building we still need to find an architect. We got the floor plan pretty much figured out it is kinda Italian with a wrap around porch on the top and bottom floors.

I have been good lately. I got my Christmas tree up Sunday. I love it. I love seeing all the familar ornaments from the years before.
Tonight is Joe's Dad's birthday.
On Friday I met up with Candelight at a Coffee House it was great seeing a good friend.
Saturday I went to the Dicken's faire with her and Noah. I finally got to see what she has been talking about. I was amazed at how so many people got into character their costumes and their accents. She loved the plays and Noah enjoyed a few as well. My little guy got tired and we had to leave early. Candelight joined us at home later and we finally got to talk a little bit and then watched Two Towers Lord of the Rings but looking back I wish we went into the other room and chatted more.
Sunday was a bit of rushing around but we made it to the faire again. Noah got to play in the ship yard and watch some old fashion games and run around the maze. Candelight got some good interviews for her final which I'm glad for I think she had a good plan for her final.
I was on my way to a party and left Candelight at the Station without a good hug, we were both rushed and worn a bit. I got to my cousin's baby's 1st birthday in good time and my mom bought a gift to put my name on and little Alena loved it. She went over to the bag and was trying to pull it out before present opening time. My mom got her a cabage patch doll a soft one and she is still crawling so she would grab the doll's arm and crawl away with it. I enjoyed the party so much seeing my Cousins new babies.

So we have to move into the next house by the end of the month. Things are still not ready...I pulled carpet yesterday and tacks still got to do the staples. So the hardwood floors Noah and my room are alright. The hallway has some dusty black asphalt like substance that probably has aspestos in it. The livingroom I think I might just have to pull up the molded boards by the door and put plywood and a rug over it and I think I can cover the rest of the damaged parts with furniture and rugs...the office I have to put carpet in and I am still not sure about what to do with the hallway floor.
The bathroom and kitchen I can fix after we move in.
Overall the house looks better than before. My painting helped a lot.
I have to fix all the house myself since I want to get stuff done before we get all our stuff in and Noah doesn't let me get much done. I have to replace a wall in my bedroom...I never done that before so I don't know how messy that will be, but I'll probably have to do that after we get in the house.
Joe has just been focused on the garage. Lately he hasn't gone to the house he is stuck in stress- on if this was the right decision to buy the house. I guess my point of view is sort term and I think he has already made this decision and we have to go with it for now and once we moved in we can make the next decision maybe get things set-up for where we live next maybe a motorhome temporily to save money and then sell and move again.
But then all this talk about a motorhome make me want to try to see what I can get on my own so today I was looking into maybe HUD help for getting a loan for a home for low income and I couldn't figure out section 8 online info. I figure I could live with Joe part time and when its too cold in the motorhome or stuff like that I can stay there and our stuff wouldn't have to be in storage.
I am not that stressed just a lot to figure out.

Been working on a proposal to make a childrens garden at a school. I want to find some guest speakers. It will be a lot of fun lots of art projects, prayer walls and stones, learning science hands on.
Today I am going to research and try to find out why Noah cant handle milk but can handle cheese and orange juice. The doctor thinks it is reflux but I am not convinced.

Days go by fast...I watch Noah and my sister's baby on Tues. Thurs. I took them both to Bofonte gardens on tues that was a challenge. I think it is more fun doing things around town. Every tues and thurs morning we walk to the lake to feed the ducks I think this is the kids favorite part of the day.
I went to santa cruz last weekend for a wedding and hanging out. It was a preety wedding in the gardens behind a restaurant. The beach was nice Noah loved the waves and sand. Joe's parents are planning on selling their cabin and buying a beach house. Selling their ski boat and buying a fishing boat.
We are moving into a different smaller house in a month.
I didn't end up going to Yosemite but went to the cabin with Joe's parents. Hanged out at the lake took Noah swimming.
I feel like relaxing and cuddling watching a movie rather than working at the moment.

The Keys to Your Heart
|
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. |
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. |
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. |
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
You think of marriage something you've always wanted...but can wait | |
In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need and can get later in life. |
I think this is kinda true.

I've been thinking about what school Noah would be going to when he is older. I thought elementry school was fine in the public schools and in junior high and high school there was too many fights. I don't want Noah going to Thorton or American HS. Joey's mom and sister want us to condsider Holy Spirit elementry school for Noah. If we could afford it I would consider it if I approved of what they were teaching him. I met the new prinipal on fourth of July I really liked him he is young and down to earth. Joey's sisters husband is the president of the school board and joey's sister is going to be an art teacher and program director there. I really did like her proposals for the school...the kids building a garden and teaching science and art out there.
I don't know anything about the preschools around here.
I think Holy Spirit starts at the 1st grade.
I want Crossroads to be our home church...I wish they had a school...it seems in the Catholic Church that most people do not believe most of what the church teaches including me...
I think for preschool I am going to look at Efree and this other one on centerville that noahs cousins and Joey went to.

Me and Joe drove by some houses yesterday and I listened in to some of his conversation with the realator also his sister. Joe wants to move out of the place we are in soon because he feels guilty that his father can get more money for rent than he is taking from us for rent. Joe also is bugged that he doesn't own anything and feels the house prices are just going to get more absurd. That he is also weary of going into buying a house with me. I love the house we are in but I knew I couldn't get to attached to it since I knew it was going to be temporary. His dad wants us to live in this house for another 4 yrs I wish Joey would be happy with that. I don't think he really appreciates it since he grew up in the same kind of house. But I understand the way his mind is working. I'll be happy almost anywhere long as there are places nice to walk, we are close to family, feel safe and our relationship is going well.

I'm looking at types of breeds of dogs online...I kinda want to get Noah a Norfolk terrier a shaggy little doggie http://norwichandnorfolkterrier.org/v-web/gallery/Norfolk . Joey wants to get a bulldog and a lab. We have to get a few dogs to protect the property once he gets the fence up. It would be cool to even get a Great Dane I only met one and he was nice, similar to a Lab.

Friday is my works picnic...should be fun...go swimming meet all the new employees family and old employees new babies. The last work event after tax season party was fun, race car driving very different from the boring past events at the yaught club.
Tonight I won't get much sleep I have to keep Noah awake so that he will be sleepy for his neurologist EGG appointment. Not sleeping will not be good I haven't slept much for the past four nights. As for the EGG I think they will find nothing wrong with Noah but I just don't want to overlook something. He has been passing out about every other day I think due to just getting upset. It is really scary he often turns blue and limp. But most doctors say it's normal. If it is normal I sure hope he grows out of it soon.
As for my surgery I am chickening out. I am scared of being cutt open. It is like hurting one thing to fix another and there is no guarentee I don't want two parts of my body not working. I emailed him and asked if I have another option non-surgically he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

I am thinking of planing a game night play Kanasta, poker, and others. I use to play so much in highschool mainly this card game that was created by a friend's family. My house always had so many people there in high school just goofed around played cards and pool til late at night and my mom would get home from work around 1am all hyper and telling funny stories and she would join in and play as well till around 3am when my brain would not be able to deal and for some reason when I get tired like that I just start laughing.
Joey's family use to play all the time as well mainly Kanasta which I have never played. I guess Joey likes to win by collecting all the cards to get a lot of points and his aunt who is a funny quarky lady is sneaky and collects a few cards goes out early and has this funny laugh I heard. I just can't wait to see it.
