Well, there is a camper store! It's called Suncoast Schools Credit Union! :0) And they do give you money when you ask them. You just have to pay them back with interest, that's all!
We got a camper! It's super cute. Just as soon as I charge the battery in my 1910 Kodak Easy Share I'll post some pictures. It's a 2007 Kodiak 25 foot something or another by Skamper. All I know is its a blessing from God! We've been talking about getting one. But, you know me. I've got some stipulations. This one met and actually exceeded them all! Who-we!
Josie and Jake have bunks. Jake loves the nightlights. We'll probably be removing those eventually if he keeps up with all the on/off, on/off, on/off. :) Josie loves her bed being up top. It's got a slide out where the couch is. There's more storage than I could dream of (which was one of my main priorities)! It's new to us and we're so excited! Our first trip is next weekend!
Josie has started pre-school! She LOVES it! She's crazy about Mrs. Angela and talks kindly about every kid in her class. I'm so proud of her. She looks forward to going! :o) Who'd of thunk it?
Jakey has adjusted so well to being with Nana all day! She was a teacher, ya know. So, she's all about doing "school" with Jake. He's thrilled to show me his work when I walk in the door. God bless that woman for being so so good to my babies.
I've finally stopped crying (for the most part) about our new normal. That's what we've called it. (Thanks Lori). A position came open back at my old school. It's the 4th grade writing teacher. I KNEW it was God. That didn't make it any easier to change my plans of waiting at least one more year. I know that scripture....many are the plans of a man's heart, but the Lord directs his steps. Mine have been directed a little sooner than I had wanted them to, but it has definitely been the right thing for us.
I had forgotten how much I love love love children. I'm being used by him in ways I hadn't thought of! It's unbelievable the amount of pain these kids carry every day. I pray for wisdom to teach them and tons of love to shower on them.
My kids, Joey and I making the very most of our time together when I'm home, (which is by 4:00) every day! All about quality for us right now! And knowing we have a steady pay check is comforting too!
So, here I continue this journey of trusting in the Lord with all my heart and leaning not on my own understanding. In all my ways acknowledging him and he's directing my path! Until next time.....Jeanne

That's great! We want one also when Cameron gets a little bigger. Right now regular camping trips wouldn't be too fun with him. Drew is at the age where he will really enjoy it so we are headed up to Anastasia for a few nights next weekend. Is that where you are going?
Glad you are liking the teaching. I really feel like it is my ministry. Some of my kids need good examples and love in their lives. No amount of money can pay for that. :-)
I love, love, love your camper too! Maybe one of these days we'll get one too. Had fun with you all today. We need to schedule days like this more often!!
Oh I am so glad you posted. I've been wondering about ya. So, congrats on the camper...what fun. I bet the kids are thrilled. Take lots of photos of your first trip and post them.
Where do you teach? As you know, I have the greatest respect for Teachers. I think you guys are way overworked and underpaid for all you do bringing up the next generation. What an honorable job. I'm sure you will find yourself fullfilled by following Gods plan.
ps.....thanks for your patrionism at the restaurant, you should tell my mom in law we went to school together next time your in. She enjoys meeting my friends (:
Congrats on the new camper! I know you will enjoy some wonderful family time. Glad the "new normal" is working out for all of you. The Lord has perfect plans for all of us and I'm glad you are seeing His plans come through.
Yay for the new camper!! Joey & I have some camping stories from growing up - going to good old Paynes Prairie! That's awesome about your teaching job. I hope you are enjoying it!
Cant wait to see the camper. My Ethan is so happy to have you not only in his life but now in his class room! You know we love you guys!
I love the new camper! I am also glad I have someone to experience this so called "new normal" with. Yippee for Josie and Jake loving school. I can't wait to hear how your first camping trip goes!
I am excited about you teaching again. It seems to be what people have to do these days, go back to work. The camper sounds great too!
fun, fun, fun! Wendell keeps wanting to go camping and I think maybe i could do it with a camper...but i don't see us buying one in the near future! have fun with it though!
