More Odds and Ends

So it seems that once again I have LOT of things going on, but none of them make for an entire post. So here are some more odds and ends. :)

1.) My sister, Marissa, is all moved into her awesome apartment! It is so fresh, and clean, and neat, and....FUN! Maybe it's super fun to me because never before (since we've moved to Twin) have I been able to say: "Well, maybe we'll just pop on over and visit Maris!" And I've said that like TWICE already! So excited to have her live here in Twin!

2.) My wonderful parents came to visit! My Dad had to leave yesterday afternoon, but my Mom gets to stay another week! I just loving having my family come! It's so nice to be together again and I love watching Everett play with Grandma Bat and Papa! (Trust me, Everett has already been totally spoiled by my parents and Grandma is still here for a while!!) :) He's just beside himself he's having so much fun!

3.) I kicked off my new job with Thirty-One this month! I have had so much fun with this job already! I love it! I'm so thankful that the Lord provided this opportunity for me and my little family!

4.) Tyler and I have been home at the same time this week a total of 6 hours. (I'm referring to being awake- not sleeping time.)  We have been a little crazy with volleyball games, football practices, volleyball practices, Tyler's mowing business, and church stuff. Thankfully, we will only be this busy for the month of September and the beginning of October. :) I'm thinking that it was providential that Mom and Dad came this month so that Ev didn't have to spend as much time in daycare. He is LOVING staying home with Grandma and Papa! :)

5.) I just LOVE my volleyball girls. We have SO much fun. We have had a couple of away games recently and the van trips are a riot. I love laughing and joking with them. They are so sweet to let me pick on them and tease them. I'm so thankful for each and every one of them. They are a blessing to me.

6.) I really will get back to writing my "Reasons to be Joyful." I promise I'm still being joyful even if I'm failing to write a post about it every week. God has been too good to me for me to not be joyful. :) See #4 as to why I have been delinquent in this area.

7.) I am thankful for such sweet, caring, supportive friends. I have been so encouraged these last couple of weeks with all of the craziness going on, starting my new business, and finding sitters for Ev, etc...in all of that my sweet friends have been in my corner. I am so thankful for you guys. You are such an encouragement!

8.) Football season has started!!!!!!!! I forgot how much I enjoy it! This means a couple of things for my family. First, Fantasy Football is becoming a heated conversation topic around my house. (lol) Second, my BUFFS are playing again! Now I know a lot of you out there make fun of me for cheering for CU because they aren't any good, but I AM NOT A FAIR WEATHER FAN! I will cheer for them until I die. I just can't help myself! 
So in honor of football coming back, I can't resist sharing a couple of pictures. :) Here's my little Buffalo fan and my little Tebow. :)

See! He's Tebowing! Haha!

I think that's it for now. I really will get back to "real" blogging. Eventually! :)
