WOW......Its been a LONG time!

So...its been a little over a year since I last posted on my blog. Life just gets CRAZY busy in the Luck household, especially with a 4 year old who has a busier schedule than I do! I need a day planner just for her lol!

So, lets catch y'all up to date since last October. A LOT has happened since then. Right before I quit blogging, my hubby was promoted to Store Manager at Alltel. Well, since then it is now Verizon Wireless, but he's still store manager! I got to spend a week with him last Nov in Little Rock when he had to do 2 weeks of training. We had a great time. I had never been there. Got to eat at a very yummy Italian place! Very romantic.

We had a really great Christmas. Hubster got me a white gold 3 diamond ring(sorry not good with the karat size but they are pretty good size lol). The 3 diamonds represent the 3 of us forever! AWWWW!

We had a really bad ice storm in Jan. Thankfully, we never lost power but several in our town was without power for weeks.

In Feb, we took Chloe to Springfield for her very own CHLOE WEEKEND!!! She had a BLAST. We went to the mall and Build-A-Bear on fri, went to Incredible Pizza on Sat, and Bass Pro on Sun. And of course, yummy eating in between!

Hubby also took me to Spfd for a surprise Valentine's Day trip. I knew where we going but not where we was staying or where we went to eat. He even had a dress custom made for me at Holy Clothing (HolyClothing.com). I cant remember the name where we went to eat but it was VERY fancy and the food was to die for!

Chloe finished her first year of preschool in May and celebrated her 4th bday with a Hannah Montana party in July. She played t-ball for the first time in June and we were the coaches. We had a blast and will coach again this year.

Chloe started her second year of preschool in August and is learning a lot and loves it!I am still subbing but mostly at Faith Assembly Christian school and I LOVE it! Our family changed churches over the summer and are now attending Spring Creek Community church which we absolutely love! Its a wonderful church and we've made many wonderful friends there!

We are also involved in a couples bible study on thur nights with friends from our new church and we are lovin it, getting to know our friends better, growing closer to God and to each other and in our marriage.

We bought our first house in April. I will post pics soon! We bought an older house with charm and are enjoying fixing it up! It was built in 1920. I hosted my first Christmas with Robs family and my parents here. We had a nice time!

I recently became re-connected with my oldest brother, who I lost contact with about 6 years ago and his family came and we had our first Thanksgiving and Christmas EVER together! It was so nice! We stay in contact almost every day!

Hubby is on vacation this week! Im so excited!

Well, that catches you guys up to the last year in our lives! Sorry I havent been on much. I will make it a habit to get on here everyday! Hope everyone had a nice holiday, and are enjoying 2010!

Has anyone broke their new years resolution yet? I havent even started mine lol!

God bless!

Zizzer Centennial Homecoming 2008

Last Friday was our homecoming parade and game. This year the West Plains High School is celebrating it's 100th Birthday! Happy Birthday Zizzers! Chloe's preschool was in the parade. Their float was a birthday cake with the kids being the candles. The 3 year old class (her class) wore shirts that said Zizzer Class of 2023 and the 4 yr old is class of 2022. They got first place in the float contest and made the front page of the paper! This was Chloe's first year to be in a parade so being the proud mama I am and scrapbooker, I took lots of pics! We went to the football game that night, but only stayed til halftime. It was a good game, but sadly the Zizzers lost. I'm proud to be a Zizzer Alumni and Class of 2000 Rocks! Go Big Red!!!!

I'm a little behind on my posts. Been busy and then I had some dental work Wed so I slept all day! So here's my make up!

The Clothes Line....The Basic Rules

A fellow farmgirl on the Mary Janes Farm website posted this. I thought it was great and decided to post it on here. Now, the pic is just one I found of the 'net. But, enjoy the clothesline rules and poem!



THE CLOTHES LINE.....THE BASIC RULES

Do you remember?

1. You had to wash the clothesline before hanging
any clothes..... Walk the
length of each line with a
damp cloth around the line.

2. You had to hang the clothes in a certain order
and always hang whites
with whites and hang them first.

3. You never hung a shirt by the shoulders, always
by the tail...... What
would the neighbors think?

4. Wash day on a Monday...........never hang clothes
on the weekend or
Sunday for heaven's sake!

5. Hang the sheets and towels on the outside lines
so you could hide your
unmentionables' in the middle.

6. It didn't matter if it was sub zero
weather.....clothes would 'freeze dry


7. Always gather the clothes pins when taking down
dry clothes.... Pins left
on the line was 'tacky'.

8. If you were efficient, you would line the clothes
up so that each item
did not need two clothes pins, but
shared one of the clothes pins with the next washed
item.

9. Clothes off of the line before dinnertime, neatly
folded in the clothes
basket and ready to be ironed.

10. IRONED?????????? ....Well, that's a whole other
subject.

A POEM

A clothes line was a news forecast
To neighbors passing by.
There were no secrets you could keep
When clothes were hung to dry.

It also was a friendly link
For neighbors always knew
If company had stopped on by
To spend a night or two.

For then you'd see the 'fancy sheets'
And towels upon the line;
You'd see the 'company table cloths
With intricate design.

The line announced a baby's birth
To folks who lived inside
As brand new infant clothes were hung
So carefully with pride.

The ages of the children could
So readily be known
By watching how the sizes changed
You'd know how much they'd grown.

It also told when illness struck,
As extra sheets were hung;
Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe, too,
Haphazardly were strung.

It said, 'Gone on vacation now
When lines hung limp and bare.
It told, 'We're back!' when full lines sagged
With not an inch to spare.

New folks in town were scorned upon
If wash was dingy gray,
As neighbors carefully raised their brows,
And looked the other way..

But clotheslines now are of the past
For dryers make work less.
Now what goes on inside a home
Is any body's guess.

I really miss that way of life.
It was a friendly sign
When neighbors knew each other best
By what hung on the line!

May 8, 2008

I'm thankful for a lot of things. Since today is my birthday, I guess I'll start with that. I'm thankful that I'm alive and that God has given me yet another day to be with my family and those I love and care about. I'm thankful for the wonderful, Christian man he has brought into my life. He's an amazing husband and daddy. I'm thankful for our precious almost 3 year old daughter that God gave us. She's the joy of our life.
I'm thankful for my salvation, for Jesus dying on the cross to pay for my sins.
I'm thankful for my parents, grandparent and my mother & father in law. I'm thankful for the friends I have.
I'm thankful for our church and the ministry God has provided for us there.
I'm thankful for a lot of things.
To sum it up, I'm thankful for the life God gave me and I'm just trying to live it for him and serve him. I'm thankful for all the blessings around me.
Today, it is actually trying to be sunny instead of raining like it has the last couple of days, so I'm thankful for that!
I'm thankful for all my blogging buddies and for having a place like this that I come and share my life stories, vent when I need to and meet great women online.
Thank you God for all you've given me and blessed me with!
