Sheep shearing time!

I am getting my hairs cut!!!   WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!   If I thought I wouldn't look like a total dork I would just shave it all off and start over...the only problem is...then I would know just how much white and gray I have in it!  UGH!     Hahaha.      Can't wait!!!!
Ok, so I have lost my PICTURE IT software...I did the best I could...haha.  

Well, another Independence Day has come and gone.   We are still here and safe because of all of our soldiers and bright minds keeping us that way.   I am so thankful to live in a country such as ours.   I LOVE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we were going to go and celebrate the 4th with Shawna and her family and Jeff's mom and Wayne.    The plans were cancelled, however, not before Jeff had made his #1, awesome, totally wonderful mexican dip!   It was once again superb.  We had it for lunch and then for dinner...haha.   I LOVE IT!   It is quite good for a person with all the veggies and fiber in it.   We eat it with tortilla chips.   YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Thanks so much Jeff for a wonderful Independence Day!!!  Jeff's mom came over later in the day and we watched some of the tributes on tv...we also watched some of our favorite OLD sit coms on tv.  HAHA.   We laughed.  We had a good time.  

Jeff had to go back to work today.  I miss him.   Time just keeps going on.   It is like the ball is in motion and can't be slowed down.    

God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!      LAND THAT I LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine in England posted on facebook a happy 4th of July to all her friends in the states...haha.   I wanted to post back and tell her thank you for giving it to us!!  ha.   I didn't but couldn't resist adding it on here.    Sure love my friends in England.

Guess we will stay, since we're lovers not fighters...haha.    Once again, new news...we are staying in Virginia.   We are excited to be able to be with our family here.  Hopefully, all will work out.   Many fragile feelings still.   We will maybe write more later.   I feel like when I was a kid and changed my mind every two days or so...this is right for us now.   We hope for the best.  Thanks so much for the wishes and prayers.

New Digs for Jeff, Cherie and Penelope Ann...

We have put our deposit on our new home!   WOOT.  We are just renting...of course.    We are excited!   We will be able to move in on the 15th of July.   I will be in the same ward as I left from 8 months ago.  Hopefully, I have many friends left and they will be nice and not think I am a burden.   UGH.    We hope to have Jeff working in Fort Wayne by then...if not, we may not leave here until the week later.   Jeff has a few prospects, one he has been asked to send more information.   We are hoping that is a good sign.   Pray for us, please.   IF this job would work out, it would be the first time Jeff has actually been excited about what he will be doing.   He would have opportunity for growth in the future and be able to use his degree!  WOOT!!!  We are so hoping they give him a chance.   We have gone through a bunch of hard times...this will hopefully be the last of the finances being so tight.  
We are looking forward to being closer to family and friends.   We are SOOOO looking forward to being home again...where we laid roots and left them.    We will miss our family here.   UGH.   It has been so wonderful being near Shawna, Pat and their wonderful girls.   We LOVE them sooooooo much.    It has been a blessing to be near Jeff's mom, as well...perfection isn't far from her.   She has just a few flaws keeping her here...we are soooo glad for them, whatever they are.   We love her sooo much.  Hopefully, if all works out we will be able to afford to visit more often.     Happy and sad days ahead. Thank heaven for the telephone and internet.
