Coffee..Lots of coffee.

So very sorry for the break in blogging.  The craziness of moving and getting adjusted has just thrown me off.  I really am going to try to get back into the routine of it soon.  We are moved into the new house on campus and we have 8 girls.  We are making it pretty good and everyone seems to be handling the switch fine.  We did take a cruise to the Bahamas in the middle of all of the craziness.  The Bahamas are so very pretty and we went to some very neat areas.  We were on the 5th prettiest beach in the world and on the beach were Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 were filmed.  We kayaked in the Bahamas.  Very cool experience.  I do not recommend a 12 hour drive to get on a boat though.  We will fly next time.  But we can scratch road trip with friend off the Bucket List.  The trip was fun just so long and tiring.  I am currently being taught several things by God but I can't list them all because the lessons aren't quite done(apparently I am a slow learner).  I am learning that I have a huge lack in gentleness and I must fix this.  Actually, He must fix it.  I just have to be willing to make the changes.  That's the dang hard part.  I promise to blog more on this later but my eyes are starting to glaze over so I won't make it through typing it all.  I am not enjoying this cold weather.  Electric blankets are my friend.  and coffee.  Lots of coffee.  Tomorrow I get to go to Auburn and stay the whole weekend with Sarah Stephenson and my heart is just plain overjoyed.  She is one of those friends who just breathes some Jesus on you and gets you primed to go back into the fight.  and we drink coffee.  Lots of coffee.  Oh and yall..I have a bathtub.  That is just a small slice of Heaven.  and sometimes I drink coffee in the bathtub.  When that happens I just might be as close to Heaven as I can be here on earth.  My newest obsession is LARGE coffee mugs.  Whoever my Secret Encourager is at church, she is doing her homework, she bought me a huge mug this week and I use it like 7835729 times a day.  We are working with the college kids at church so some of them are here every Tuesday.  and guess who drinks coffee to stay awake with them....yep, me.  I actually don't drink coffee for the caffeine.  It never effects me.  I just love the warmth and taste.  I got to have lunch with my grandparents this week which is always a nice pick me up too.  I probably never laugh harder than when I am sitting with them.  My granny got to laughing at the table so hard she could not finish her story and started crying.  I left Tuesday refreshed.  and stuffed.  My Granny can cook!  Oh, and one of my girls randomly named me the 'magical princess' last week.  I said one thing and Dustin said another and she said "well, Mrs. Haley said so.' And Dustin said "well my say so is what matters" and she said "nu-uh hers does because she is a magical princess."  Well for a girl who is princess obsessed(me) that just made my whole day.  Dustin and I both laughed and I was like "Yes! I AM a magical princess!"  So the rest of the day all the girls called me that.  Yep, whole day made.  Actually I am smiling from ear to ear typing this so it made my day today to! 

Well, I think that is a horribly written and completely scatterbrained account of the past couple of weeks.  If you wanted more details..I don't currently remember them.  If you wanted it better written, I would say I am sorry, but I really am not.  The is me.  All over the place and not always completely like I should be.
