Is it already Thursday again?

In the middle of packing everything up, I think I have found probably 6-8 unfinished journals that I have started within the last 10 years. I had written a few entries in them for a couple of weeks and then the rest of the journal remains blank. If a stranger would read any one of these random journals they would probably think I had fallen off the face of the earth all of a sudden by the way that I just completely quit writting in them. I tell you this odd fact about me because who am I fooling to think I could keep up a online journal?!? I am trying though! In all honsety, I have had to step over boxes, books, bags, etc. to even get to my computer! So, I have had an excuse not to blog as often. I can't even imagine if I had kids to take care of and do this too! I applaud all of the blogging mothers out there! Anyway, since it is Thursday, here is a Thursday Thirteen to catch you up on the Brocks from this past week!




Thirteen Things I have been doing, other than blogging!

1. Brad and I started a little DIY project this weekend. We found an old trunk in his grandmother's house that was actually his great-great grandmother's. We are attempting to strip it and repaint it. I forgot to take a "before" picture, but I will definitely let you see the "after".

2. We got to go shopping! This was really exciting because in the whole two and a half months that I worked at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, the only thing I bought was a candle and maybe some candy. It was so hard not to buy something I wanted every day! However, I talked Brad into letting me get some new stuff for our new bathroom when we move. The best part, was that I still got to use my employee discount!

3. Packing more boxes. I think I have written "FRAGILE" on every box except for maybe two.

4. Playing with Bella. My parents got a new puppy and I have been taking breaks and going over to their house to play with her.

5. Dinner with the Dales. Stephanie and I have been friends since middle school and we have both been so busy lately that we haven't been able to get together like we have wanted to. So we finally made plans, and had a yummy dinner at their house! Perrin was a doll!

6. My grandfather has been in the hospital, and has now been moved to a nursing home temorarily. I have been trying to help my grandmother in my spare time so we can get the house ready for him to come home again!

7. Packing.

8. Bible study. Brad and I have been doing a Bible Study with our Sunday School class on Beth Moore's Study of Daniel. It has been one of the best studies I have ever done! Unfortunately we won't get to finish it, but I recommend it to anyone!

9. Official moving stuff...trying to plan to have all of the utilities cut off, forwarding our mail, fun stuff like that.

10. One of my good friends from school had a baby this week. I haven't gotten to meet her yet but Lila Moore was welcomed into the world this past Monday! Congratulations Sally & Thomas!

11. I had to rush to Duron the other day to take Brad his contact solution and his glasses. He called me because paint colorant splashed into his eye and had gotten it behind his contact. When I got there his eye was incredibly red and bloodshot and a little swollen. Luckily I came to the rescue and he isn't blind. Yet. He was wearing his last pair of contacts. We might have to go to the eye doctor in the next two days to get more before he is taken off of the insurance.

12. I made oreo balls. These things are heavenly! There wasn't any special occasion, I just wanted to make some.

13. Packing. Have I mentioned I am moving in one week? You're probably tired of hearing about it, but this is my first major moving experience. I haven't compeletley freaked out yet, so I would say it is a success so far.

My goal is to post at least once before next Thursday. I'll let you know how that goes.
