Waiting... bored...snake!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I really just haven't had much to say. There is nothing going on and I haven't really felt inspired to share anything going on in my life that is deployment related because frankly...I'm bored!!! Jacob is still getting ready to move to another location which will be good in some ways, that is if everything he has heard so far is true. He is supposed to have his own room and internet! I'm not holding my breath, but that would be really nice. As for myself and Caleb, we are just bored. Days come and days go and its the same thing just in a different order sometimes.
I do want to share what a great neighbor I have for a moment though. For those of you who don't know, there are two things I really loathe and that give me the willies, snakes and spiders. The spiders I can take care of, but snakes... yuck! *gag* I just don't do snakes! My neighbor, sweetheart that he is, was in my back yard yesterday to crank my hubby's bike and let it run for a bit when he saw a snake lying next to the air conditioning unit. He called me to ask if I knew it was there because it was dead! Of course, I had no clue the slithering freak was dead in my yard and promptly went out there to see what he was talking about. He asked if I had killed it and of course, I said no and he went and got a big rake and took it out in the woods for me. *shiver* We never figured out what happened to it. I guess it just got old or something, it was pretty big, well it was really big actually. I don't think I have ever seen a chicken snake get quite that long. I am so glad he took care of that for me! I would have gagged and shivered out of my skin by the time I got it out of my yard. Then, he proceeded to take my trash off just because he was over there and it was already in my truck! See? I have been blessed with good neighbors all around, but this one is especially helpful. This is the same one that cuts our grass too!
Well, that is all for now. Please continue to pray for all of our soldiers!

It is nice that you have good neighbors to pick up the slack and do the 'man stuff' for you. Maybe you won't have anymore snakes this summer.

It is nice! God I hope we don't have anymore snakes. I hate them!

I love having good neighbors and it sounds like yours is a keeper. Glad he took care of some chores for ya...snakes included

Yeah he is a keeper! I don't know how I'll ever truly thank him. Maybe Jacob will have a good idea when he gets home!
