UPDATE

So much time has passed since I last blogged. I have moved out into the country in Live Oak Fl. 

Things have been a little crazy since we moved. The other day the hot water would not shut off and we could not find a shut off valve anywhere. Finally Tony's uncle decided to turn off the pump to the well and send Tony to get a new faucet. So Tony heads off to town and I sit down to relax a minute. Suddenly I hear screaming and run out into the kitchen to Jamilah crying as water shoots out of the hole where the faucet was. It looks like a geiser and sprays water clear up to the kitchen ceiling. I was getting soaked and tried to put my hand over the hole to no avail I finally saw a bucket and put it over the hole and guided the water into the sink.....which could not hold all of the water so I was steady scooping up water and pouring it into the other side of the sink. I sent Zuka over to ask Tony's uncle what had happened and he said he turned it on so he could get his evening bath.....UMMMM? Did he forget that he suggested we take our sink off and that we had no shut off valves? I can't even imagine why he would turn the pump back on and not wait for us to install the faucet.What a mess to clean up.....luckily we got all the water cleared up and got the new faucet in PTL.

We have had a lot of problems with the puppies escaping from the 10x10 Kennel we bought them. WOW I did not expect the puppies to be that smart, they dug under the fence, them pushed out the sides of the fence, anything to escape. Soon 3 puppies became 2 as one disappeared one evening. We still have out lab/rot mix "bear" and our medium sized mixed breed pup "Ziggy". "Dash" the cat seems to love the new house and has had a couple of outside adventures himself though he is supposed to stay inside!

Kids seem to be doing well in their new schools and they enjoy the outdoors here and having their cousins right next door.

Hubby is still looking for a job, He has an interview at the prison tomorrow so I am praying he gets the job. Today I am taking out his twists and he will be cutting off his hair. That's really the only way he is going to get the job he wants here, unfortunately.

Me? I'm ok. I'm struggling with the lack of income and the changes we have made. I  miss my family in Maine and my friends there so much. There are a lot of changes that need to be made and things I have to work on and they weigh heavily on my mind. Hoping to find a good church here....and meet some good people :)
 and continue to work on my book and blogging daily....



much love ~ Jenn
