So I reached out to a lady at Harvest Time. Blaine and I are going to meet her and her husband for a tour and she already invited me to a play date at the mall . I already feel so completely welcome and its nice. If anyone reads this please dont take it wrong as you weren't all nice and friendly you all are. I personally just need something. I don't have any family, or many Christian friends I can look up to. The only way I am going to get where I need to be is to have those examples to follow and those more experienced Christian wives and mothers showing me the way. We aren't making a decision yet, just checking it out. My first priority in a church is something awesome for the kids. I didn't grow up in church I didnt know much about God I dont want the same for my kids. And if it isn't right for us, God will let us know. All I do know is I have a completely empty feeling inside me when I am not in a church family. I want the void to be filled with praise and worship among my church family. So just pray we find something soon or get it figured out, or even feel better about staying and going to fbc.
On a much happier note, I am feeling really good about this. Isabella is the only one home during the day. We felt really bad she didn't test in for Olivia's school but relieved also that she is too smart for her age. Well it's been pretty hard to watch her not understanding why everyone goes to school but her. It's been hard to hear her say "I wanna go" all the time. On Wednesday it was a breaking point. I had to go to school and Blaine was so exhausted from a long night at work he crashed on the couch. I got out of the shower to find Isabella sitting quietly in the dark living room (only the tv was on) reading a post card from the dentist office. It really just broke my heart because I had to leave and what choice did she have but to lay down with Blaine. So I broke out the phone book and called every day care I could find in Poteau. None of them took part time kids. I wasnt going to drive 45 minutes to take her on days I am not in school, so I just prayed and went to school. After my 11 am class I usually have an hour before my next class, but we had a test that day and I got out early. I usually eat lunch with 2 friends from my class so I decided to drive around and "see" Poteau lol while waiting for them to get out. I started to drive and just turned down a street not far from the school. I saw some beautiful churchs and as I was passing by one, First Christian Church, I saw a little sign for their day care saying they were accepting enrollments. Was that not a sign? I called the number and she told me to stop by and have a tour.
They were so nice and the facility was clean and fun! They learn about educational things such as letters and animals and numbers, as well as Bible teachings. I was excited until I heard the price. $24 a day! And she would go 2 days Monday and Wednesday, since I am only gone for 2 hours on Friday. I talked to Blaine about it, and the only way we could swing it, is to not eat out. :( Boo but a sacrifice I am willing to make for Isabella. We took her up there Friday and they welcomed her completely even took her outside to play and meet some kids and her teachers.
She will start next week because my spring break is this week. I am just so thankful to the Lord for leading me to it. I cannot wait to see how she does.
Also we changed the kids room, painted and redecorated Brycetons room for the girls, and he went into their old room as is (poor guy has a princess room for now!) Then next year we will do the conversion of our garage into his room then repaint the princess room for Kadence and my work room. Fun Fun! I worked very hard getting in done in 2 days :) Here are some pics!
