Beach bound!

After a stressful week waiting for the phone call about Josh's new job, an awesome night with friends at the Luke Bryan & Jason Aldean concert (pics on FB), and an exhausting weekend helping my parents move into their new home, we are beach bound, Wrightsville Beach that is, for 2 days! Josh starts new job on Wednesday. Have a great week everyone!

Good Morning

Dad and I are off to church this morning to build tables for Caritas.  This will be interesting since I've never built anything like this before, nor am I tool savy... LOL  The tables are kits so it's just a matter of piecing the puzzle together.  RIGHT!  Good thing dad will be there.

Did anyone watch the opening of the Olympics last night?  What did you think?  We turned it off. 

Hope everyone has a great day/weekend.  

Love you all!

VBS & Job Interviews

Josh and I had another busy week. Vacation Bible School was a huge success. We decorated the main stage (ie, the plane), I worked each day in the kitchen, preparing meals & desserts for the workers, and we did crafts for the week with about 60-75 kids each night. The week ended with a hotdog cookout, ice cream social, and the kids performed the songs they learned during the week. Josh and I were excellent ice cream scoopers. Josh and I are happy to announce that we are officially members of our church. I transferred my membership from my old church and Josh became an associate member, so that he can still be an active member of his home church. We are proud to be official members of our church family and everyone was thrilled that we joined. It was very important to us that we join together, but Josh still belong to the Catholic church. Josh has also been busy this week along with managing work and vacation bible school, he had 2 interviews for a new job. He has a 3rd interview with the owner of the company on Monday at noon. We are very hopeful and praying for great news! Updates to come tomorrow!

Topsail Beach

We are at the Breezeway room 212. Weather is great just trying to decide whether to go to the pool or beach. Since it is about four probably go to the pool. The pool is why we like Breezeway. 910-328-7751 is the hotel phone number, if you can't get our cells.

Email Notification, part Deux

It's Friday!!  Been a rough 2 weeks for the Powhatan clan.  After a few days of off-and-on signs of illness, Regan was diagnosed last Saturday with 2 ear infections, a GI bug, conjunctivitis and signs of strep.  Poor thing has had a tough time, but has been handling it very well, considering.  If that weren't bad enough, Martha and I have also been struggling with issues.  Regan is feeling much better, but is very clingy so it's tough to leave her in the mornings.  So TGIF!!  I just hope Martha and Regan are able to enjoy a much needed restful weekend.

Hey from NC!

Good afternoon! I have finally arrived on the blog! =) Josh and I have been very busy this week preparing for vacation bible school and our annual cookout and slip-n-slide party. The party went well. The weather held out for us but attendance was low this year because of everyone's different schedules. We were able to partake in some slip-n-sliding and potato gun shooting. We enjoyed catching up with friends and of course the food was good. Haha! Pictures available on Facebook. During vacation bible school, us, the Parker's, and the Byrd's, otherwise known as the triplets at church, are in charge of decorating the main stage in the sanctuary and crafts throughout the week. We worked well up to midnight several nights this week decorating the stage. One of the biggest projects included Josh and the other guys building a 10 ft airplane as a focal point. Our theme this year is a national park. Speaking of VBS, we got to get there now! Hope to hear from you or see you soon!

Back in

Thanks Derek.  I hope I'm all set now.  Dad straightened me out on a few things.
