Fun Days

We are getting ready fro the big party, and all our company. Today we are looking forward to having all our projects complete. Mom and Dad come tonight. the girls are so excited!! They miss having Mom and Dad so close. Then our SURPRISE visitors from Fort Worth....OOOHHH The excitement is building!!!

Our Cadence video is complete, and we hope to have it posted on here soon. I have to go to the church to do, it is such a large file my internet keeps logging out! But it looks great and it is very professional and polished.

The boys have been visiting over at the church's private school, Veritas. We are planning to put the kids at Veritas in the fall. It is a good school, and it will give me a much needed rest, and a time to concentrate on our fund raising. We are ready to get on the mission field. Our newsletters will be going in the mail soon. And we are hoping to visit and speak at churches this summer. So, if you are intrested in us coming to speak at your church, your home, or know someone who would like to hear our story, let me know!!

So that is the big excitement for this week.

For you Nate!!

My brother loves this blog. And is one of my faithful readers. He has been concerned that we have been sick for a month. But I assure you we are not sick. We are well. In fact, we are preparing for the Girls 5th birthday!! Uncle Nate is flying in tomorrow, George (Chris' Dad) will be in on Thursday, Grandma Jan and Daddy Barron arrive Thursday night, and my Best Friend Amy and her family secretly arrive on Saturday! It is a lot of company, but lots of fun!!

Please pray for my dear friend, Joy. Her Grandfather passed away today. Joy and her family are serving as missionaries in Zambia, Africa. She probably won't be able to come home for the funeral. Pray for peace for my dear friend! I really love this dear friend and her family, I appreciate your prayers.

What sick looks like

So we have all been feeling pretty yucky. I think it is the change in the weather. And now tonight, we have severe storms. So who knows!! But I thought you would all feel better if I told you the truth:

* There are 2 loads of dirty laundry waiting to be washed
* There is one load waiting to be put away
* The dishwasher has clean dishes in it, and the sink is full of dirty dishes
* The kids rooms are slightly dirty
* The bathrooms have all "lost" their towels
* The kitchen is missing me. It needs me to come cook in there.
* My new Nightgown and robe Chris gave me for Valentines day, is really comfy!!
* The kids have terrible runny noses
* I bought 4 different medicines for the kids last night, and forgot mine!
* We have spent some quality time in the living room playing the Wii. and napping!
* We have all had little sleep...coughing and sleeping don't mix!
* I think we are gonna make it!! I went to Bible Study and Church.
* Pray that tomorrow is better.

Texas Friends Part One

I went for my fun week away to Fort Worth. Amy's Parents were gracious enough to fly me out for a week. Amy and I had a blast and was kind enough to help arrange time for me to visit with just about everyone. So here are a few photos of me and my friends. Since I maxed out the blog for tonight, I will add more tomorrow.
Nancy Zirbas (Wedgwood's Women's Ministry Director, and friend)

Jessica Nichols (my darling angel of a neighbor who has babysat, cleaned and cried with me), along with her new niece Zoe.


Casey Nichols and Baby Zoe. For those of you who haven't read Dan and Caseys blog. Their story of life, death, grief, hope and blessing will inspire you and challenge you. See their link on the left.


This was a really special time for me as I had prayed for this friend (whom I had met briefly once) and to see the miracle of her new daughter. I couldn't control my tears of joy when I got to put my hands on Casey and just hug her!



The fun little pedicure. I had previously had a not so pleasent expirence having a pedicure. Mama Gayle and Amy were convinced they could woo me to the pedicure lovin' side. So before I moved we went for this really relaxing pedicure which helped the stress of moving, packing and good-byes melt away. so they won me over. So we just had to go again when we were all together.




All of us outside the scrapbook store. It feels glorious when you walk in. Paper, stickers, rub-ons, paper, eyelets, glue, ribbon, flowers, cricut supplies, oh the glory of the scrapbook store. We cropped for 2 days straight and had a blast!! I will miss scrapbooking with them!!




Amy and tonya working on their Disney Albumns. I took some notes of their techniques and tried some new things myself. Now if only I had one of theose cricuts to play with!!
