Fall has come to the Webb House!!!!

Fall has been at our house for a little over a week now, and I am absolutely loving it.  I haven’t always been real big on decorating for the holidays, but with help from my friend Brittney, I was inspired.    

Last year Brittney made me this cornucopia (sp?) So cute! So last Monday when I came home from the store with candy corns,  my heart was ready for fall!  I pulled Brittney’s creation out of my “fall” box and started decorating.  Brad was actually excited that our house was decorated for fall and loves the candy corns. I have made some additions this year such as

The turkeys and the flower arrangement

This pumpkin, so cute in person!

This pumpkin and napkins!

and this little pumpkin showcase!

You just can’t beat Hobby Lobby and their 50% off sales! 

Sidenote Story:  The first picture with the word “FALL” was a fun little project that Brittney and I did with our sweet friend Margie!  Margie was admitted to the hospital on Friday, because she went into pre-term labor with her twin baby girls! Through the power of prayer the labor was stopped and those babies will hopefully stay in her belly for the next two months.  But, that means Margie is on hospital bed rest until then.  So we had to have a “Fall” intervention last night!  Brittney and I arrived at the hospital around 8:30 ( i had to work ) and three hours later our masterpieces were finished!  Margie is doing really well and the babies are great, Dad is a little tired with late nights and early mornings but he is hanging in there! Please keep praying for this sweet family! Kendall and Emery we are all so excited to meet you but we CAN wait til your done cookin in your Momma! So stay in there!  Here are some pictures that Brittney took last night, they are on her blog too!

you have to have “snacks”

My New Job!!!!!!!!!

So for those of you I have not been able to tell personally here is the biggest update of our lives!!! I got a new job! I am sooooooo super excited about this position and I am incredibly Thankful that God works all things together for the good of those he loves!  So here is how it all came together…

Early this past summer my friend Margie told me about this position at her school that she thought would be great for me… I said great, and she told me she would get me more information as she figured it out.  The week before school started she finally figured out what everything was and got me connected with CIS (Community in Schools).  I applied right away and couldn’t believe the greatness of this organization!!! Unfortunately, they didn’t have any positions available, but they were going to save my application and resume.  So i had given up on it.  But God totally had a plan… 2 weeks ago Margie called me from school and said that there was a position available and I needed to make sure all my stuff was in… I ended up having to resend my resume and everything because apparently it got lost?  But a few days later I was called for an Interview! I was shocked and nervous! But after faithful friends and family praying for me , the interview went great! and as of Thursday last week I was officially offered the Job!!!!! 

 

My position is called Case Manager,  I am at one of the local elementary schools, and I start Oct. 1, 2009!!!! I will be working school hours, and will still be coaching gymnastics for a little extra income!

I am trying to inspire myself to write a new post... and this song has been running through my head all morning long. I changed the words a little bit, but it always reminds me of the movie Anger Management, When Adam Sandler is forced to sing it! Haha! Anyways, sorry I haven't posted about life in a while but here are a few blogs that will tell you what I did over labor day... Emily and Kolby, Tricia and Jeff, and Debby and Dan. I feel that my inspirational song will pay off soon! Be patient with me!
