Sidewalk

Our house is kinda in the woods. Meaning there is not a concrete driveway. The rocks have been so crushed that now when we drive up there is a whirlwind of dust surrounding our car. When it rains the water puddles up and we have to wade to the car. Our driveway is such that a paving company left a flyer at our house! HAHA! You know it's bad when that happens! So anyway, Brent corrected one problem by building the sidewalk pictured below. It's very nice! I like it!





PS: if you noticed the camo in the back ground - it's Brent's water balloon gun he built! It's awesome!

6 years



Brent and I have been married for 6 years now!
The week before, Brent backed into my car. So while my car was being fixed we got to drive this car. It was pretty nice. Too bad it's not a keeper!


This is some of our family. We had the best time with them that day!








I love this room.....






Fall Cleaning




Lately, cleaning has become depressing. The house just gets dirty again, and again, and again. However it is imperative to my sanity, which has become non-existant. So off to clean I go.

Happy thought: I can pull out all the fall decorations today.

10 Good Things

Well here are a few good things from this week:

1. We received an email and back to the doctor we go. A few medical tests have been added, so we think we may have to get these complete soon. But our agency is checking in to it, so we should know by next week. But it's no big deal. Possible new blood tests and an x-ray. But what I love about this is that it means, SNA has our file and is reviewing it! Hooray!

2. I ordered five books on adoption from CBD the other day. They will be arriving soon.

3. I started working on some craft projects that have been sitting around for weeks!

4. Last week, Brent issued a challenge to our students, to carry the lunch trays of the peers when lunch was over. Some have participated, some have not. One girl in particular really had interesting experiences. The first few days, the kids poured milk on her, put ketchup on her, piled up the trays till they fell over, laughed at her, etc. She kept on for the next week. Yesterday and today the kids have begun to appriecate her kind gesture by thanking her and were not rude. Today the princpal asked her what she was doing and why. She explained she was trying to show kindness to others and be able to show them Jesus. So she got to share her faith with her principal and then her principal started helping her carry the trays to the kitchen! This chick is in 9th grade. We were proud of her!

5. Brent was able to speak to a football team, cheerleaders, and coaches this week.
He's getting to speak a lot this month.

6. Our 6 year wedding anniversary was Saturday! Posting some pics later.

7. One cute thing, my nephew is about to be 3. The other day my mom was saying the blessing at lunch. At the end of her prayer Destin says, "Thank You God for the pickles." How cute!

8. My jewelry shows are going well.

9. April and Tobi got to hear their baby's heartbeat today.

10. Eleven ladies were going to Planned Parenthood for an abortion. They changed their mind! Eleven little lives were saved! - I heard this on the radio from a group that was praying outside Planned Parenthood. We always give praise for LIFE!

What good things are happening in your life? What do you have to give praise for?
