New day

I deleted my previous post about my Christmas with my mother in law. I have prayed about the situation and decided to give it to God.
I have come too far to allow someone to block my blessings by making me act ugly.

Thanks Adrienne!

Missing Link

Dear San

Two years ago today, God took you away from us because he had a greater need for you in heaven. Your presence here is sorely missed and I wonder if you know just how much.

Last month I got married and had all of the girls together again and the only thing missing was you. We sat around and talked about how things were supposed to be, who was gonna marry first and have kids first but there was a bigger plan in the works. Mariah acts so much like you and it amazes me that she is more like you than Vee.
In case you don't know I moved away from the girls but it does not lessen the pain of not being able to call you or see or even makes me forget that you are gone.
There were so many times when I wanted to call you so we could go to IHOP in the middle of the night like we did so many times.
San, I am so glad that you are no longer suffering and that you are resting at the feet of the master. Just know that we keep your spirit alive all of the time not just today. I love you still and one day we will have the whole crew together again and maybe God will let us drink wine and tell funny stories, while we laugh uncontrollably.
Merry Christmas honey
You are in the best place
love Carla

Merry Christmas

I hope that you all have the best Christmas ever.  I am sincerely missing my loved ones right now. My hubby will be working on Christmas but hopes to get away so we can spend a little time together.
I will be meeting my mother in law for the first time in person in the next day or two.  If you can sense my apprehension you are correct.  The fact that the two of us will be alone in the condo does not sit well with me. I am very standoffish when meeting new people and definitely do not like having them in my space.

So pray for me. Lol.
I already know what my gift is because all I wanted was a Kindle so I know that is what I got.. Now to get my hands on it.. Lol
I can't wait to see what you ladies get for gifts

Just another day in the neighborhood

So I am still playing housewife, pretty much for myself because the hubby gets home late at night. I have finally started getting some feedback on my job search and have three interviews set up this week starting tomorrow so a busy week it will be.
I am currently sitting here with a head full of rollers which is gonna surprise the hubby because he likes my hair curly.
I hope all you ladies are having a good week so far..
Not being able to sew is driving me into a funk.

It is interesting being married and everyday is a new learning experience. But it is going well.  I wore a wrap dress that I have for the wedding (it is actually the only dress I own).  I have been seeing these knit pencil skirts and I really want a few. The hubby states I should wear more dresses so a few wrap dresses would be cool but I need the right patterns. Any suggestions, take in mind I do not know how to grade up patterns just yet?
