Typical Week at the Dyer House!

Hope everyone has enjoyed their week. Nothing really going on here in the Dyer household. I was off last Monday and enjoyed a day of laundry and taking a day for myself. I just picked up the house, took a nap, and that's about it! Tuesday was a day of work, which it was a very busy day. But that day I got a call and found out that I got the job that I had applied for. I really didn't tell anyone about it because I didn't want to jinx myself. I came across this job from a friend's mom and just went for it. I interviewed for it on the 4th and last Tuesday they called and let me know that I had got it. Although it will be sad to leave all the people that I have made friends with, this is a great opportunity for me. I will be full time, have benefits (FINALLY), and make twice as much as I do now. So for those that knew and prayed, thank you, and if you would continue to pray for me as I begin my new job next week, I would really appreciate it. I'm nervous, but I know that I was hired for a reason and can get the job done.

Wednesday was another work day for me and I found out late that day that I would have to come in on Thursday, which I usually have off, for a couple of hours. It didn't really bother me that I had to come in, but Bill was off and it would have been nice to sleep in with him. So I worked Thursday morning, the day that the storms came. After work, I came home and enjoyed the afternoon with my husband. My dad and sisters Erin and Michael came over that night and ate supper with us. It was nice to get together with them. Erin stayed while the others left and watched wrestling with Bill. I'm about to go wrestling crazy because that is all they seem to watch! I usually fall asleep!!!!

Friday was a long day as I worked. This past Friday seem to last FOREVER!!!! I was sooo glad to see 5 o'clock!!! I think not doing a whole lot made me tired because I went to bed aroun 8:30 that night and slept until 8:30 the next day! It was so nice to get some sleep! Saturday I cleaned house and went through some things in the closet in the computer room. Bill had to work and he didn't get home until around 2. Then we got ready and went down to his dad's for a Father's Day cookout. It was nice to catch up with my inlaws. We ate brats and ribs for supper. They were really good! It was a great day, but ended sadly. My step mother-in-law Rita's father passed away from cancer around 9 that night. Although the family knew that this was probably going to happen soon, it is still hard for them. Bill and I spent the rest of the evening with the family. If you could keep Rita and her family in your prayers during this hard time, I would really appreciate it.

Bill and I headed home around 11 and stopped at the neighbors, who put together the program for church to let them know the sad news. We stayed and talked to them for about an hour and their daughter Sarah ended up spending the night with us. Bill was pretty tired and went to bed around 12, but Sarah and I stayed up and watched tv until 2. It was definately a late night for me, but it was so fun! Sunday Bill had to work again, so Sarah and I got up and got ready for church. They had a Father's Day breakfast for all of the fathers and their families at church. It was good food! After church, Bill got home and we went with my parents and sisters to Mi Pueblo. I felt miserable after eating and came home and took a nap!!!! When we got up, we got ready and went to my parents for another cookout. My grandparents, great aunt, and aunt came down from Bloomfield and it was nice to celebrate with them. We stayed until the NASCAR race was over and then we came home and went to bed. When Bill works on weekends, he usually is worn out by the time we go to bed. Poor guy!!

I had today off and went to Walmart this morning. I hadn't been for a long time and spent way too much money. I think they raised the prices one everything since I've been there last! But I also had to get lots of travel sized items for our upcoming vacation! I'm so excited! We are going with my husband's side of the family to the Outer Banks. We leave on the 3rd of July and will be gone for a week. So I guess that is a reason why everything cost so much! Other than that, I've just done laundry and put pictures away or in frames that are all over the floor in the computer room. I've gone through some frames that I had in high school and college and either put them up or put the pictures away. Some of the frames I've grown out of and don't go with my house so I'm either going to give them to my sisters are put them in our yard sale.

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully we'll get to the fair this week to get a fish sandwich, funnel cake, cinnamon roll.....the list goes on! Gotta love fair food! Hope everyone has a great week and stays cool and hydrated!

God Bless,

Crazy Couple of Weeks!

Well it's been a couple of weeks since I've updated. Sorry about that, but there really hasn't been that much going on, at least the first week of June. I worked Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday of that week, which is typical. On Saturday the 6th, I got to together with some of the women at my church for a Scrapbooking day. It is just a day that we get together to work on things that we want to scrapbook. We do alot of talking, but we get things done as well. I stayed til 2 and then came home and took a nap with Bill. After our short nap, I ran to Vincennes to get a few things at Maurices and Kohls.

Sunday was another busy day. Bill had to work, so when he left, I got up and got ready for church. Bill got home just in time to go to church. After church, one of my best friends Amy came down from Indianapolis to go to a bridal shower for Audrey Stoll. We went to eat and then went to the shower @ 2. We had a good time catching up with friends and celebrating with Audrey. After the shower, I came home and found that Bill had washed his work truck, his truck, and my Malibu. Such a sweet husband! Then we took a nap (we love taking naps in this family!) and then just enjoyed our night. Here are some pictures from the shower!

Monday was a busy day for me. I woke up around 8, because it was my day off, but I got a call around 8:15 asking if I could work. So I got ready and to work around 9:30. Even though I had to work, it was a smooth, slow day. I got home that night just in time to change and go to the church for our niece Breanna's suprise birthday party. Her birthday was on the 6th, but she plays softball and they played in the regional that day. I think she was suprised and all of her family and friends were there. We had hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, fruit, and cake. It was a fun night. Here are some pictures from the party.

Surprise Breanna!

Opening presents

Tuesday and Wednesday were regular work days for me. I was scheduled to be off Thursday, but a girl at work called in and I was called to see if I would work because they are painting in our office and we needed to move charts. So I got ready and got to work @9 and left around 2 after we had moved some of the charts. Friday I went to work, but around 9 the other clinic called and needed another receptionist.  It was a good day, but, boy, what a crazy week!!! I was exahausted from a crazy week when I got home, but my parents and sisters arrived and asked us to go to Mason's and eat with them. It was good and I hadn't been there yet this year! When we got home, Bill picked some green beans and peas in the garden. I watched tv, but we ended up going to bed around 9 or 10 that night!

Saturday was a long day for us. My friend Allie Shafer was getting married in Evansville that afternoon. I got up around 8:30 and started getting ready. We left around 11:45 because we had to stop by the bank, which we thought closed @12. We arrived at the church in Evansville early, but we didn't mind since our directions weren't right. The wedding started @3 our time. It was a really nice wedding. After the wedding, we went to the reception. We ate and just had a good time with family and friends. We didn't get home until 12:30. We missed church yesterday, but Bill and I enjoyed catching up on our sleep. We watched tv and canned green beans that night with Bill's mom, Hap, and Breanna. Here are a couple pictures from the wedding.

The hubby and I-not the best picture!

Hope everyone has a great week! God Bless,

One Year Ago

Wow-I can't believe that it is June already! This year is just flying by! I'm loving this weather, but before we know it, the temp is going to be in the 90s! I'm ready for summer, but I'm sure I'm ready for it to be that hot just yet!

This past year has just flown by. I can't really grasp why that is, except for the fact that I'm getting older and that is just the way things go when you get older! And I really hate that. I remember being in grade school and thinking that the years went by so slowly, but just today I was thinking that college went way to fast and that I still be living in the dorms with all my Brayton girls! At times, I wish I could go back to those days!

But what has gotten my thinking of time flying by was that one year ago today was my bridal shower. As a bride, this is one of the most exciting times! You get to relax and not stress about what you haven't got done yet, spend time with the female members of your family and friends, and enjoy good food. I remember this day like it was just a few hours ago! My sisters and bridesmaids did a wonderful job at planning my shower and everything went well, except my mamaw and aunt were 15 minutes late! But overall, I had so much fun. It just blows my mind that it was a year ago today! I remember the first game we played, what card I opened first, who it was from and what they got me, and my husband coming to help bring all the things home with a nasty cut off on, showing all of his sexiness!! HA HA!!! I had waited so long for that day and it came and went and now has been gone for a year. I'm not trying to sound depressed, but it just shows that time is not really anything that we have. It is not in our hands to deal with. We are given the days as a gift and we are suppose to find something to do within the time God gives us. I'm guilty of wishing days would go by, waiting the arrival of a day that has something exciting or a day off work. I should really just be thankful for each day and take each day in as a gift from God. Although there are better days than some, I need to work on enjoying and being the best that I can during each and every day. I loved my shower and here are some pictures from that day, one year ago!

All of my bridesmaids and me


On a side note, I know it has been a while since I last posted-sorry! I just really haven't had anything to post!! Everything is pretty much the same here. Bill and I have both been working, although I haven't been working as much-just 3 days a week. The 2 days that I'm off I'm usually doing laundry, cleaning the house, or running errands of some sort. I don't know how I will get things done if I ever get full time!!! We've gone to some graduation parties and birthday parties, along with Memorial Day. This past Saturday, Bill's friend Jason, his wife Krystal, and daughter Morgan came up. Jason helped Bill hang some drywall in one of the closets downstairs. Bill's other friend Andy and his daughter Marissa stopped by as well. We had fun just talking, playing with the kids, and having a cookout. Once everyone left, we were warned about the robberies here in Plainville, which lead to a long night. My husband, God bless him, is the biggest worry wart!!!! Although I agreed that we needed to lock everything, doors and vehicles, he went to the extreme-we had to have the scanner on ALL NIGHT!!! I agreed to it because I knew it would make me feel better, but I shouldn't have! Everytime someone came on there, it was loud and it woke me up everytime!!! So I was sort of a grump Sunday morning! But after church and lunch, we took a nap-3 hours!!!!! It was great and I slept so good! I was off today and went to the bank and walmart! Back to work tomorrow and Wednesday, while Bill and I are both off on Thursday, which I'm really excited about!

Hope everyone has been enjoying the weather-hopefully the rain will hold off and let the farmers get in the field!

God Bless,

Whitney
