Ready for another Adventure...

Well hello there! So A LOT has happened! We had True Love Waits for the first time in FOREVER! And it was a HUGGEE success! We had 35 out of 37 students make committments on Saturday evening, and the only reason the 2 didn't that night is one girl got sick at went home at 2am, and the one boy had to leave to go home early for something else. The evening that I had been working on went off without at problem, it was simply just a GREAT weekend all around! PRAISE GOD! Jonathan and I were struggling financially and were not getting along in the best sense and with trying to work together to get stuff planned for true love waits, were not in the best of attitudes when around each other, and have learned that we need to work on some things in our relationship when it comes to working well together...especially in our ministry to one another as husband and wife...but we are working on it..lol. Our house did survive the boys staying in it, thankfully nothing even broken. MORE PRAISE TO GOD! lol...

Moving right along, Valentines Day is tomorrow. Now, I know as the girl I should be all excited about this, and possibly feel hurt if I don't receive anything...but this is just another example of how God made Jonathan and I for each other: Jonathan hates the holiday, and I just want chocolate anyday, so thankfully...its an easy out. I don't get my feelings hurt, because...well, I just won't..not a huge deal now that we are married now. I guess back in the day when it was a "take it day by day" kinda thing, then yeah...I wanted presents...but I'm ok now, and thats good because I know my husband hasn't given it any other thought, much more than...he hates valentines day. LOL... We do kind of have plans, but not for Valentines Day. Tomorrow is Awana Games, and we are going to support quite a few of our 6th and 7th graders in their fun! Then we are having some friends over for burgers and games. So I hope that everyone will have a good valentines tomorrow no matter what your doing!

Other than that, our puppies are still great! We still have Gracie, just being the great, amazing dog that she is. And we have our miniature horse/puppie...lol, Annie, who amazes me more and more and how much she continues to grow! She is 7 1/2 months old now, and we are told she won't stop growing till about 2 1/2, and we're already going through 40 lb bags of food twice a month. LOL, but we love our puppies!!!

Coming up we are having GOC in March. Global Outreach Celebration, is where our church will have missionaries from all over the world, come to our church for a few days, and we "spoil their socks off" and they speak throughout those couple of days. Jonathan and I will be having a missionary from Croatia, and his son who is in 6th grade stay with us. We are very excited about them. Please be in prayer as we prepare to have them at our house, and throughout those days...it will be a time of fellowship, fun, learning, growing, and worshipping. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Well, I think thats about it for now! I hope that everyone is doing well..


Miss and Love Everyone!

(btw, I'm posting a few pics of the pups since I mentioned them earlier...keep in mind, these were taken a couple of weeks ago, and Annie has grown even since then...ENJOY!)

You snuck an update in on me!! Sorry I haven't posted recently, we have been really busy with sickness in the house. C brought the flu home from his last school and we worked very hard to keep the rest of us from getting it. I'm sure if you have talked with Grammie you are aware of some of the other things. But the biggest thing is that Alex got moved to his Big Boy bed. No longer is he a baby....TEAR. Now if we can just get hime to start using the potty...lol. Sounds like things are looking good for y'all. Still praying for a job for you. You'll find something that will work I know. Make sure you take care of yourself and Jonathan and the rest will come. Missing you guys. The princess was really missing you this weekend....wanted to know why you didn't come with Grammie on thier trip to visit us. If you get a minute and you can, drop her a note in the snail mail, I'm sure she would just be over the moon for that. Talk with you soon. Love you guys.
