New Life Here IN The Great State of Georgia

It has been a few months since I have posted, been very busy getting all settled. There have been so many new changes for the MARCUMFOUR. We have taken a youth pastor position. The Lord has blessed us with some great kids, we have been averaging around 30 for our service. They are all pretty much middle school kids so hopefully they will be with us for a long time, and can get grounded spiritually.

David is working as a upholster for a firm in Chattanooga, he really enjoys working on the antiques. I have had to get used to him being gone all day- everyday. There is always plenty to keep me busy so I have managed.ha

Austin and Emily have had some major changes too. For the last 7 weeks they have had their moma as their teacher, principal, guidance counselor.. on and on.. you get it. We have made the change to home school. We love, love, lo-ve it! It is so awesome to be such a part of their education. I have wanted to do this for some time, but just feel that the time is now. We even dissected a COW EYE. I have been so intrigued with the human eye, because of the probs I have had with my ms, so we worked on the next best thing. It was very neat- even kind of bouncy. The kids thought it was cool to look thru the lens and read the news paper.

Next update of our family would be on our little mini farm. The coon dog Copper, and squirrel dog Andy have adjusted so well to a huge back yard they play well all day. Austin has mastered the loud barking and they fit in well with all the neighbors. The 9 chickens are growing daily and now are sleeping in their own coops, we hope for eggs in a month so so. The Beta Fish are pretty simple they are in our school room to keep us from getting board.

We are happy to be here and feel like we are back home.. it's great to be with our old friends. If you can get away this summer, stop in for a visit, there is lots to do and see. Check out my new cooking blog, It's nettscookin.blogspot.com. Love to see ya. XXOO!

New Life in GA

Its Moving Time Again!!!

Just wanted to share a new beginning of our lives. We have lived in another different part of the US again, this was our first to live in Alabama. With David being a pastor, and I being his wife we have had more than enough relocation to do us a life - time. Our kids, Austin & Emily tells us ... the when I grow up...... we will never move again, one place for life. The way their favorite and loyalty to the state is Tennessee.

Our new adventure this time is taking us to the great state of GA. It is minutes to Tennessee, so I am sure we will make many more memories in the Chatt- Ga area.

I will update you on our new home, we are still in search for a great place to make the family happy. As I have shared before my children love the country, we have nicknamed Austin to Jethro on the Beverly Hillbillies. and Emy comes a close to Elliemae . ha Seriously, we will be bringing on our 2 dogs, one a coon hound named Copper, and a little mixed squirrel dog named Andy. Also, I had to cancel the order of 12 new assorted chickens, mail ordered by the way... our 2-rabbits, and a lizard and fish. I am sure if our farm animals grow we will have to get a animal trailer to carry them.

Something a little more exciting, my new bargain that I must share, a darling Sitting Bench. I think this the cutest new piece I have found in a long time. I love to hunt for treasures, it's a major stress reliever.

I will close with a view of more of our boxes that adjourns our LR floor. Have a good one, and we will post the new views soon. The verse that I keep leaning on is "This To Will Pass" . Happy Lovers Day!!!

BARGAINS IN THE NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Can you believe that we are in 2010. I love having the fresh start at the beginning of each year. I have already started on house projects. Nothing feels better than clean closets, organized laundry rooms, and new paint. I have many more days of work ahead of me. How did ya'll do on the after Christmas sales? We went to Chattanooga and my friend Greta and I left everyone in bed and headed to Wal-mart for the 75% off sale. I did pretty good, lots of cute wrapping paper and some great deals for my white elephant parties. The best deal is the one shown in the pic. Yes, I got David a "Santa Suit". Today he tried it on and I just couldn't resist capturing the moment. He said it was quite magical and he'll have the HO HO HO's and jolly chuckle down to perfection by next year. I'll be sure and let you know how Mrs. Claus feels, lol :) I love fresh starts and I hope all of you will have a wonderful year with many blessings. God is so good, and I look forward to all he has in store for us.
