Now OPEN!

Most of you know I am a creative and crafty person. Some of you have even seen my products and already purchased them from me and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that. I have broadened my horizons by creating a website for which to generate more business. My site is now up and running and my shop is officially open for business! I am so excited about this little side venture (hopefully one day it will be huge) and I invite you to visit my website at www.TinaMarieCreations.etsy.com. Email me and tell me what you think. Email all your friends and families too!

Vacation is OVER and life doesn't wait

Wow it has been a busy time on the home front. Vacation is definitely over! Since our last post there has been a slew of events so lets catch up briefly. First of all, our renters decided to move out one month early with only a weeks notice. Kinda of bummed but the way they left it I would need some extra time getting it market ready. I did say "market ready". Our lovely house is FOR SALE! Kinda of sad because I like the extra monthly income and it was our first place :( But we are ready to move on. So tell everyone you know that is look for a nice house on a huge lot to visit this site for all the info.

Jon came down to Houston for our nephew's (Stevie) graduation party and I was already here from working on the house and for Steph's baby shower, which was a blast. We really enjoyed seeing everyone again and still miss you guys. Finally, we drove home (weird because that is Dallas now) that Sunday.

Well most of you know my cousin and I are like sisters and she had been dealing with a kidney stone for the last few weeks and had been in and out of the hospital while I was in town working at the house. Her doctor finally decided after I left Houston that they were going to induce her on June 9th. My thoughts "she probably won't even be ready to push until late that night." Right? Wrong. The baby was not happy with the medicine and so they delivered little Braedon Alexander by C-section before I ever had a chance to make it. This was a wake up call to me. I felt like Dorothy when I looked at my dog and said "Scoot Dog we're not in Houston anymore", close to all of our family. I drove down the next morning to see the little guy ( 7 lbs and 10 oz 19.5 inches long) and to help my cousin with whatever she needed. I drove back home on Saturday to find out from Jon when I got there that our other nephew Mikey and his girlfriend just delivered their baby. Not a girl like we were told, but a BOY! How does that happen? The whole time we were told that she was having a girl. Come to find out when mom went for the past weekly appointment they told her nope you are having a boy. He weighed in at the exact weight of my cousins baby. A baby boy, Elijah Antony. Please be in prayer for him because he is actually still in the hospital because of jaundice and breathing issues.

Well that takes account for the spread in the posting of blogs. But I will give you a tease for next time. There will soon be more than a house for sale on the Internet. ???
