catch up

Well, I have not posted since August! I knew I would not be good at this!! What a year this has been! Kris and I just sold our first tobacco crop, and from what I can tell it did good! I was pleased with what it brought! Our goal is to payoff what we owe on all other things and then to start looking at houses! That is what I am excited about!

I have decided that I am going to start working at a salon in Etown. I have chosen Salon Session and am excited to begin work there. I feel that with it being a bigger city, I can build a bigger clientele. I have prayed about this and really do believe that this is where God is leading me. I have also started going to back to school to finish my associates degree. I stress about this decision, but know that it is a good thing!

The boys are growing SO fast! Kaleb is excelling in school. Tonight he received an award for distinguished in all core content areas of testing. He is on the academic team, and is playing basketball. He really likes soccer better, so once we can sign up for soccer again he will be playing that! Kase and Kaden keep me on my toes. There is not much they do not get into! I have to say that they keep life interesting. They both enjoy soccer as well, but they will play about anything that mommie puts them in!

Like I said, I don't know how often I will keep up with this!!

We have had a great summer! Did not do a lot lot, but we spent a lot of time together as a family and with out GREAT church family! This picture is of our church camp out out Bailey's Point! We were richly blessed with the chance to spend the weekend with such an amazing group of people!

Today was the first day of school for Kaleb and Kase! Kaleb is in the 4th grade and did not want to go back. I think that once we get back in the swing of things he will do fine. He excels in academics and I don't worry about him. Kase is in Kindergarten and was very ready to go to school. He hit the floor running this morning with a smile on his face and all he could talk about was going to kindergarten! I have had a hard time with him this summer following directions and listening in general, and now I am wondering if it is because he likes the routine of school and like many people we do not have that during the summer. I am praying for a great year for them. Kaden will start his second year of preschool on the 17th. He was sad that he did not get to stay today, but is also excited to get to have mommy to himself for a few days!!

I was hoping to get a full time job at school this year, but that did not happen! I have put it in God's hands and I know that what is meant to be will be! I will still sub this year and be with the boys when I can!

Kris is working a lot, that always happens this time of year! When he is not at work then he is at the farm working in hay or the tobacco! We are about ready to start cutting our tobacco, let me rephrase that, he is about ready!! I don't get to do a whole lot of that stuff with the boys, I may get to do more since they are back in school!!

Well after talking to a few friends and following a other blogs, I have decided to take the plunge. I am not sure how often I will keep up with this, but I am going to give it a shot! I want to keep everyone up to date on the Trent's as well as what God is doing in our lives! I hope that as my boys grow they will be able to look back at this and see how much we have grown as a family as well as what God has done with us! I hope that you enjoy what you read and that with something we do and I write about we can be a blessing to you!
