Exciting times!

Three GREAT things happened yesterday. . .
1.) We got the loan to start building the second phase of our church building!
2.) I purchased some rocking leopard print heels for $12.99 at Ross!
3.) My daughter discovered light-up shoes!

Now, I know that to some these may seem like trivial things.  But for me and the other "never dull Davidson's", these are monumental events!
We've been praying and working for over 18 months to get the funding we need to add offices, a rest room, a foyer and a parking lot to our sweet church - and yesterday was the day it finally came to pass. The hubs was giddy most of the evening - and you know that never happens!
On the shoes, you know I never dreamed that I would wear animal print, much less purchase animal print. But who could pass up $12.99?! I know, I'm walking on the wild side. . . (hee,hee)
And for baby girl, she needed some variety in the shoe department and I found some cute shoes (albeit pink) and didn't even know they were light-up until I got home and cut the tags off.  She spent the rest of the evening trying to make them light up (poor thing barely puts enough weight down when she walks.) She even tried to make another mom's shoes light up at basketball practice for kid #1 by tapping on the soles. 

Life's an adventure, there's no doubt about it!

Closing out the year 2024

New Year's Eve. . . the end of a year that makes you reflect back on the last 365 days. Most of us are looking forward to the new year and some of us are looking back and wondering where it went! What happened to 2024?! What do we even have to show for it but some bumps and bruises? It's been a wild ride, ya'll!  But reflection is a good thing, right? Taking time to skim over the year and look for highlights and lowlights and facing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements - these are important things to do. So what were some of my wins and losses? What a great year! Celebrated 1 year of working for the church Traveled internationally with hubby several times Started year 2 of our ministry school Got a dog (a BIG dog) Graduated a kid from Bible School Started a kid at a private school (step of faith) What a tough year! Experienced a flood of sorts at the church (broken pipe) Got banned from entering a country Got a dog (a BIG dog) Moved adult kid back home (pare...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I wrote a blog. Posts were few and far between at best. I was working 40+ hours a week at a job. There were 3 children at home with various activities and none were driving so taxiing was my side hustle (unpaid, grueling hours). The Hubs was working 50-60 hours a week pioneering a church and starting a side business. So much has changed since the last post, that I contemplated scrapping it all and starting fresh.  Or should I?   Always a challenge to get all my words out, I hesitate to even write this one. But I will provide a catch-up for history's sake... Kid #1 is graduated and trying to be a grown-up on his own in a different city.  College courses, which are mostly online because of the big 'C', working almost full time and a girlfriend keep him pretty busy, but not too busy to call his mama every few days.  Especially when the bank account is low.  Kid #2 is finishing up his last year of high school and living hi...

Stupid is as stupid does

Ok, so have you ever had one of those days where things are just messed up?  That was me today. I stayed up too late last night so it was hard to get up this morning.  Had to be at work for an 8:00 meeting and caught EVERY red light between my neighborhood and work.  No big deal, they weren't ready to start when I walked in (with my supervisor) at 8:05.  But, in order to get there even close to 8:00, I skipped making a stop at the gas station to fill up.  I did the math all the way to work - when did the light come on? How many miles had I gone since then?  After work, I planned to stop at the nearest gas station - but, you guessed it, I didn't make it.  Nothing like running out of gas in rush hour traffic! I sat there, embarrassed, trying not to look at the people glaring at me as they passed me - I was stopped just shy of a major intersection.  The Hubs was close by so he came to my rescue - but my car keeps the radio and lights running for 10 m...
