Update on Busy Times and Our Anniversary!

Well we had a great trip to Shipshewana. I really enjoyed myself and had a very peaceful time. It is really a beautiful place and I look forward to going back there again someday. It is a very religious community and all the people that we encountered were very nice thank God for that. Now I will have to say that the only hard thing about the trip was being without my girls and Johnny. I missed them and I am sure that they missed me. I think it will be a long while before I leave them again.

Well now we are in Aurora, IL. We are staying in a really quiet hotel with a pool and right now Johnny is gone to his classes and we are here alone. We plan on going swimming later and just hanging around here. Before we came my girls both had a round of the stomach flu and thank God it didn't last long because JoHannah came down with it the evening before we left. But with the Lord's mercy it all worked out and here we are.

Now today is our 8th Anniversary. We celebrated Friday evening with dinner and a movie and we had a really nice time. I am so thankful for the life that the Lord has blessed me with. We have had a really wonderful 8 years and I hope for many more. I have told Johnny that I want him to take me somewhere for our 10th so we have that to look forward to (if the Lord dosen't return first and that would be wonderful).

Busy and Getting Busier

Well things have been really busy lately, good busy though. We have truly been blessed over the last few weeks. Last week my husband was told that his company was getting bought out and would be under new ownership as of May 1st. We were a little concerned but all in all we know that the Lord will help us through what ever so we just prayed and we have been truly blessed. The company that Johnny is now working for seems great and they have big plans for him and we are very thankful. They have assured him that his job is safe and they have far better benefits which is something that we have been praying about along with out brethren here for a really long time and God has truly blessed us. We have a desire to have another baby if the Lord is okay with it and all of this has seemed to come at the best time. We do need prayer in this so if you think of us we would love to have your prayers.

Now to the busy stuff. A week from tomorrow Lord Willing Sis. Sondra and I are going to take a trip to Shipshewana (this is the first time I have really been away from my girls). We will be leaving on Sunday and return home on Tuesday evening. We are really excited to go if and hope that we are blessed with good weather and a nice peaceful trip. Then when I get home I am going to be packing up and heading out on a trip with Johnny and the girls to Aurora, Illinois. We will be gone for a week Johnny has to take some classes for his job there and his boss said that we could travel with him so that is what we are planning. So we are going to be busy in the next few weeks not to mention our 8th Anniversary is the day that we leave for Illinois. So lots going on here and I hope that I will still be able to read the blogs and if we do anything exciting for out Anniversary I will post about it later. I hope that all is well with anyone who reads this until next time.........

Pictures from the Park

A few weeks ago I went to visit a friend of mine who lives a couple hours away(she just had a baby) and I left the girls at home with Daddy. Well him and Mamaw took them to a park and took some great pics. Here they a

Settled In

Well thing have settled down a bit here and we are settling in good in our new home. There really has not been a whole lot to post about lately. I have started potty training with JoHannah and she is doing great (Praise God). She says that she makes beautiful tinkles and that just cracks me up. We have had alot of sickness here with the brethren and we could use your prayers for our congregation. Sickness keeps quite a few out of meeting here lately and we surly do miss them. Like I said there really is not mush going on here so I will end for now. I hope that everyone is doing well. Love and Prayers.

Johnny's Deer

Here is a picture of Johnny's deer head. He got it back last week.

All Moved In

Well we have moved and we FINALLY have the Internet again!! I have alot to post about but I think I will have to spread it out over a few posts. We got moved in a couple weeks ago and I was super busy the first week and I think that I have everything unpacked now. The Lord has been so good to us we feel truly at home here and the kids have adjusted really well. I was worried about JoHannah but she actually did better that Jada. Jada is doing good too especially since her bedroom is right across from ours and if she wakes up in the middle of the night she can see our bed with the doors open. I hope that everyone is doing good and I look forward to catching up on all the blogs. I will post more later. Bye for now!!

Just Sharing A Little

Things are still pretty busy around here. We did get the water heater in finally at the other house and we have hot water now which is great. There is a story behind it though the water heater that one of our brothers gave us didn't work because it leaked (we were still thankful for his heart). We went and bought a new one and got it all hooked up and it was doing fine but later on that night we went back by the house to check it out and make sure there were no leaks and such and when we pulled up we could see down the side of the house and it looked really wet. Johnny ran inside and sure enough a pipe had busted and the house was flooded! It flooded the utility room, the kitchen and the master bedroom so we did what we could to get it cleaned up and called the insurance company and thank God it is all covered. So now we are in the process of picking out new flooring and for those three rooms and when all the work is finished we plan on moving in. We are hoping to move in the next few weeks.

Today I got a really surprising phone call. My cousin called me today and was asking me about church and said that he was wanting to get him and his family into church. Now none of my family are in the church and I was just thrilled that he called and is showing interest. I would like prayer about this if you think of it because he has had a pretty rough life and says that he has gotten his life straightened up and wants to make some changes. He says that he knows that God has helped him and he wants to do something for God. It seems like he is searching and I really hope that he can come to know the Lord.

Well I guess that is all that I have to share for now. I hope that anyone who reads this is well and I look forward to hearing from you all.
