Christie Jarvis’ Blog

I started this blog last night and my computer decided not to be nice so I lost all that I had typed and am trying to re-do it.  Alex turned 11 last week.  He said that he is a man now….hmmm.  Well, I guess he needs to grab the classifieds and find a job! LOL    

We spent Wednesday & Thursday making a model of a Medieval Castle from Usborne Books.  It was very time consuming and detailed….right down Alex’s alley! He loved it.  Here are some pictures:

       Saturday night, the kids and I went to a concert/youth service at my inlaws’ church, Rosemark United Pentecostal.  My nephews play in the youth praise band and also have their own band.  They are very talented! All of the youth there are.  It is great to see them on stage using the gifts that God has given them. Their drama team also did a human video that was great.  I don’t have any pictures but if anyone reading this does, please send them to me and I will post them!  

We went to our church on Sunday and William and Amy were able to enjoy a concert by Regi Stone in the main sanctuary while Alex, Andrew and I were in City Lights (our 2nd -6th grade children’s ministry).  It was Buddy Barrel Sunday so I spent most of the time counting change from the kids’ Buddy Barrels.  It always amazes me how much the kids bring in for missions just by collecting change from people!    William and I were talking the other night about us.  I asked him about when we first met, did he ever in a million years think that he would be married to the girl he met on the street corner (if you have never heard that story, just ask me! LOL) and he said that he never thought he would be married period. It just amazes me that we met 18 years ago and now are married with 3 children and LOVE the life that we have.  Yes, it is sometimes tough, but we always get through it.  What really got this conversation going was the song “Letter To Me” by Brad Paisley.  It makes you think about when you were 17.  William was 17 (just about to turn 18)when we met…I was 16.  I am so thankful that God put that crazy guy in a low rider Toyota in my path all those years ago!   

Today, I am going to meet my friend Laurel to talk to her about her health products, GNLD and then later I am taking Alex to a birthday party for his friend at Stevi B’s pizza.  Yummy!  I guess I need to get back in the school room….they sound like that are done with what I told them to do.  See ya later!

Last night William took the kids to the Monster Jam at the Fed Ex Forum. They loved it! This year, they actually made posters with their favorite trucks on them to take to the show and afterward, they took them to the drivers for them to sign. Here are some pictures from the show:

I didn’t go with them this year.  I went to my friend Samantha’s house and we worked on our scrapbooks, ate chinese and watched Monk…our favorite things to do!  LOL Love ya Sam! 

What a FANTASTIC New Year!  It is gonna be GREAT in 08!

We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve.  We had family fun night   If you haven’t played Disney’s Pictionary, you have to try it!  It would have been more fun with a larger group but we made due with the 5 that we have and it was fun watching William and the kids draw and compete with each other…..I was the score keeper After game time, I got sleepy so went to bed…I was out by 11:30!  LOL  So much for staying up and watching the New Year come in.

Today, William did his first official job as his own boss.  Yep, he is now doing repairs and remodels for home owners.  The housing industry was down and so no new homes were being built so he didn’t have a choice!  If you know of anyone looking for a good home repairman or wants to remodel their home, have them call William at 901-301-3669.

I worked on cleaning my office today to prepare for the new year.  I want to have all of my Discovery Toys paperwork in order and ready to go for my parties and events.  We have a fantastic sale that started today.  It is our 30th birthday sale!  Check it out:

Also, the business kit is on sale for $79 and has new items in it!  Start a new business in 08 and make it great!

I am also organizing things for when we start back to school next week.  We will begin our study of the Maya in history so I am getting all of the books and info ready.  I love being able to learn with my kids.

I guess that is all for now.  Have a blessed day!
