I have been having a couple of complaints to update my journal more, but I find myself extremely busy between working and meetings and service and packing and driving right now…. But I found some time.
So, today is a good day for me. Not because it is a Monday and the beginning of my work week, but because my husband… after being jobless for about four months now, has a job!!! Yes, he did have one at Tenneco in Marshall. However, he went to orientation, and they had no idea when he was going to start. It could be a week, it could be three months. We can’t depend on that! So… Cody did another job search and he went to the local Family Fare fka Feldpausch. They just lost their meat clerk… and to make a long story short, they were really impressed with Cody and they called today and he is hired! YES!!!
We are moving into our new place next Wednesday, so we are super excited about that too. Right now, we are just full of excitement.
Memorial was Saturday night. We had attendance at the Marshall Kingdom Hall of a whopping 98! I am used to being at Charlotte with attendance of 160-180… but Marshall only has 49 publishers. We had double the publishers attend, that’s great!
That is all I have to say for now, until next time of course (who knows how long that will be)

Its been a while
It has been quite a while since my last post. Thought i would update! So things are going really well right now in my life...
Cody and I are turning in an application for a duplex today! It is everything we have ever wanted and more! 2 bedrooms, a full basement ... not carpeted and drywalled, but cement floor and block walls... perfect for a "mancave" for cody (and a ping pong table of course).
Either way, we HAVE to move to Marshall because the drive to meetings in Marshall, and work in Lansing is alot of driving. Also, Cody got a new job!! In the town of Marshall. He is going to be working at Tenneco, it is a machine shope that makes car parts... exaust pipes and mufflers i think, I am not too sure and either is he. He has orientation tomorrow and then they are going to give him a call and tell him when he is going to start. I guess they start a couple people at a time for the training process.... sounds like a smart company to me. The only downside of this though, is that it is third shift. From 10-6 i think is the schedule. Cody has worked 3rd shift before and he HATED it... BUT if we get this duplex he wont have to commute, it is literally down the road from the plant. When he worked 3rd shift at dowding, he had to drive 20 minutes to work... so i personally think that will make a big difference, we will see.
This weekend i am going shopping with my sisters... we haven't all spent time together in a really long time and i am looking forward to it, it will be fun.
I went to a Detroit Red Wings game Tuesday night and had a blast. They played the Chicago Blackhawks. It was Vickie, Micky, Cody and I ... and we all just had a really good time. LETS GO RED WINGS!! Vickie got to see Bobby, so that was exciting for her.... AND she got to see him shoot a penalty shot. Tim called it the "lamelty" shot because it was pretty lame, he didnt miss the net, but I could have done better. Sorry Vick. Alright i best be going now, until later.

A Need to Change
Yes, if you have been hearing rumors of Cody and I switching halls, they are all so very true. We have been talking about it for a couple months now... and we finally decided to do it. Our house has been up for sale now for a month, hopefully it can sell and we can get an apartment in the Marshall area, that is our goal. We havent told very many people (well of course the elders) just because of the fact that a) We dont want to hear negative opinions... b) we dont want a huge deal to be made out of it. We are only going to be 20 miles away, thats all! So, if you feel dissappointed in us, or if you feel that we are making a stupid mistake, then please just keep that to yourself. If you want to give some words of encouragement.... I am all ears!
Sick of being Sick!
So.... i spent most of my weekend and monday in bed. Yeah... not fun. I managed to get up for service Saturday morning, i had a soar throat. I shouldnt have overlooked it... but i did. I was feeling miserable the whole time and sounded even worse. The second i went home i went straght to bed and stayed there. I had plans to hang out with Luke and Rachel and couldnt even do that. It was very upsetting! Sunday seemed to be the peak, my temperature didnt want to get lower then 101. Had to call in Monday because my fever just wouldnt break. I am here at work today, but i dont want to be.
