I know I’m not alone when I say that I HATE car trouble! A couple of weeks ago our timing belt broke on our XTerra, so we’ve been driving my husbands blue work van (Oh joy!). I will admit that I am grateful that we at least had something to drive!!

We finally got the car up and running on Friday after my husband and brother-in-law spent the week working on it. I haven’t been home all week, so I haven’t been able to get anything new up on the blog. It was definitely nice to wake up this morning with nowhere to be (until later this afternoon) and be able to just relax at home!

One great thing about not being home during the day is that the house has stayed so clean! However, I don’t mind picking up and cleaning during the day if it means I get to be in my own home! Sticking to my daily and weekly cleaning lists have also really helped me keep things clean. Usually, it only takes a week and the house is a cluttered mess again, but the to-do list is helping stay me on top of things before it gets messy.

I got an update from my parents about a building they are interested in! (Read their story here!) They should find out this week if they will be able to lease the building. If they get it, the will still need to purchase building materials, paint, sound equipment, and a keyboard. There is also a possibility that they will have pews donated to them for free! Please check out the link and donate or share for support this cause.

I’ll be heading to Seattle in a couple of weeks to celebrate the 25th wedding anniversary of my parents and the birth of my cousins baby boy. I am so excited to be able to go home for a visit! There is definitely no place like the amazing state of Washington!

I hope all my readers have an amazing week! Keep checking back for new posts and share my blog with your friends a family!
