New Week

Well it has been awhile since I've been able to post.
So here goes:

My thoughts on the new HP movie. It. was. AWESOME. The.End. Literally. Its the end. I'm happy about it. I'm sad about it. There's never been a series that I've enjoyed so much. I like the Twilight series, yeah, but who cares to read about the teenage angst that you yourself feel like you went through when you can read about action heroes saving their world from the evil villain? Ha, I sure don't. Although, she has an advantage. The vampire/werewolf boyfriend(s) was definitely more interesting than the controlling, cheating, and loser guys I dated while in High School. So, now that the epicness that was Harry Potter has come to its as expected end, I am in need of something new to read. Preferably something that already has a movie out, that way when I read the book I don't get the disappointed feeling like when you read the book first then watch the movie. I won't nitpick it apart. I might actually get to enjoy it.

The job hunt is still on. 
Boredom is quickly setting in with my days at home. The house is clean. I've applied for countless jobs.
I've went shopping. I've spraypainted. I've done "upcycle" home repairs. I've exercised. I've read. I've slept. I've danced. I've taken bubble baths. I've pinned on Pinterest.I've played with the dogs. I've paid the bills. I've watch about...all of our movies.
I NEED SOMETHING [NEW]TO DO!
Oh wait, I am going to Tulsa for a girls day with my cousin tomorrow! That'll be a change of pace. 
But after that?

My mother in law sent me a Bible verse last night that gave me some peace.
Phillipians 4:6-7
"Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and request while giving thanks. Then God's peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus."
I read this verse probably 5 times before I went to sleep last night. And then Aaron prayed this prayer before we went to sleep, and right then, I knew. Everything is going to be okay. We're gonna make it. The peace that these verses talked about washed over me. And for the first time in a long time, I fell asleep without worrying. Without freaking out.  

Summer is halfway gone. I've always wanted a summer vacation, and now I have one. But I can't afford to do anything. So any cheap, or free, suggestions of something to do at home that will feel more vacay-like?  I prefer indoors when its over 95 outside. Unless I'm in a pool. Which I guess, I could do. Aaron's aunt has a pool I am free to go swim in...I just feel bad when I do that, because I feel like I should be job hunting and not enjoying this time.  But I'm allowed a little freedom right? I mean, my house is clean. The bills are paid. Dinner is planned. Hmm...

Well, if anything new happens...There'll be a new post!
And I hope you enjoyed the honeymoon pictures!

Searching

Well, its been 2 weeks since the job loss. And I still haven't found anything. Not for lack of effort though. Keep praying that God will show me what I am supposed to do,because at this point, I have no idea. I hate this lost feeling.
I have been working hard inside our house in the last week or so. Hopefully in the coming weeks it will be getting closer and closer to being done. My next pictures will be of the finished projects.
 Its hot here. It reached 109 degrees yesterday. That's crazy. I've never wished for snow in the middle of summer, but I'm telling you....I want it now!
Embry&Elliot aren't enjoying the heat at all. They've gotten a swimming pool, which was promptly tore to pieces. Okay, it lasted almost a week. Which is actually pretty good! They've gotten to hang out inside alot too. Which means, I've been vacuuming everyday. Sometimes 2x a day! The heat is just making me exhausted!
We went rock climbing Saturday morning...and it was terrible! I'm terrified of heights!! So, naturally, I tried and cried. Yep. I plan to go again when its just me and Aaron so we can practice and I won't continue to humiliate myself in front of people every time!
And as you can tell, the look of our blog has changed. I've added some color! Yellow & gray seem to be in these days. Along with the chevron stripes!
The FINAL installment of Harry Potter comes out this week. And of course, we're going at midnight. And I get to dress up! I'm so excited!! Aaron said I could go as Bellatrix Lestrange(death eater. I know, but she is the only one I can actually pull off. Thanks, dark curly hair!) I'm pumped! Update on my thoughts about the movie coming Friday!
Honestly, I wish there was more I could update on, but things have slowed down alot. We don't do much these days. Its either too hot or too expensive!
OH, and about the honeymoon pictures! No clue why that didn't work. I'll try again!
