its snowing again. 
its strange how it has snowed this year.
jonah hasn't has a full week of school since before Christmas. last week, he had 4 days before being out again on friday. the way that it gets down to 20-30 degrees with the river and all the waterfalls around here 
freezing up, then the following week it all thaws out from the temps being up in the 40s and 50s-i swear, its almost enough to convince me that HAARP up in alaska really is playing with the weather.
one thing that is making this easier to deal with, is some friends of ours, david and debbie, are staying with us while in between homes. it feels good to have friends like them. i met them while at the flea market i shopped at almost every weekend while i lived in sevierville. whats funny is that i almost didnt stop that day. i had a visit with jonah while he was in residential care at Camelot . i had my wedding dress almost finished and wanted to show it to "coyote", the man that was such a great mentor and help with it. i almost went on home because it was an hours drive one way, so i had been gone ALL day, but at the last minute as i was driving by, i wheeled in. deb and david were there with some of their friends, just seeing what they could find in the line of native american craft supplies, etc.
i think that was what you'd call another "God" thing.
we exchanged stories and phone numbers, and i told her that i'd call when joel and i got moved after our ceremony. after we'd gotten moved in, we went to the powwow in spruce pine, and darned if we didn't see them there with the dance group. anyway, i introduced them to joel, and joel and david hit it off just like debbie and i did. what good friends that the Lord has blessed us with. we have been able to help them with their move, and they have in return, helped us with their company. joel and i really enjoy the dance group, and are learning so much. i get frustrated so easy though, when we have the couples dance. we had hoped to "switch out" partners, but david and debbie weren't able to go last week, so we had to struggle through it. i ended up leaving the floor and sitting down. i am so hard on myself that i got really frustrated. i hope the next meeting goes better.
yesterday, debbie and i went to newland and did a little shopping. nothing big, just dollar store stuff, but we had a girls day out and it was a lot of fun. she is so funny-mom always told me that great minds think alike. we have laughed and laughed.
joel has had david helping him this week, and im so glad. david is a good friend for joel.today, they handed out some of the cards and flyers that joel put together, and seemed to feel really good about their prospects. debbie and i made reuben sandwiches for supper and the men really smacked their lips! it feels feally good to have people enjoy your cooking.
i'm up by myself now. david and deb went to bed early because he and joel have to get up early and head out. joel laid down on the bed and fell asleep after talking with his mom. i got jonah to bed a few minutes ago. he is out of school again tomorrow. they dismissed at 11:30 today so that wasn't a surprise. just another day that will have to be made up. i just don't think they'll be getting a spring break this year.
well, i think it bedtime for angelia. good night.
