In honor of those who bless me

Couple comments lately about how I'm not updating. I just don't want to update. This is so me though. I'm so fired up, then lazy,then fired up, then lazy.

A couple things going on. One sad/happy thing is that Alan's mom went to be with Jesus. She was sick and so we are glad she is where she's wanted to be (for a long time). The last week I've been helping my sister-in-law with plans. I'm not sure how dad is doing. We leave in the morning for all the services and sortings. I'm really looking forward to processing this grief/joy more, once we get to see everyone.

Alan is applying for the navy reserves. Long process, few chosen, we're praying. If it's the Lord's, we know that he will have it happen for us.

I still have mice. I'm still angry about it, but don't know what to do... WE are going to do some serious things when we return from our trip to OH. Please pray they go away...I'm just so undone about it...they are always scurrying around at night..can't sleep...have traps everywhere that I have to put up in the daytime. I'm seriously ready to sell.

I'm working out like crazy. Since I went to San Fran with Juli, I've gotten right back into the swing of craving exercise. I'm really an athlete under all this marshmallow squish. Alan even let me get a trainer.

I'm taking photography classes! How exciting is that. I want to get into it. Plus I want to buy a new camera and want to find out how to buy one before I spend $300+ dollars (which I don't have now...so mynext thing is figuring out how to get $300)

O.k. I need to get packing. I'm going to start a FB biblestudy (want to join me?) and study The Pleasures of God by John Piper!! Also, I did the STrenths Finders book and test and my number one strength is responsibility! You would guess that by how little I've been updating my blog.

O.k. gotta go. Will put on more pics. Just having a really crazy month.

Okay, you're off the hook:)
Will be praying for your trip.
Mice, understand. I just had one in my pantry. But only one so I feel much worse for you. Ours are dumb and so we just put cheese in the trap. But I have heard that putting cheese with Peanut butter around it is supposed to work better.
You will have to write more about the Navy Reserves when you get a chance. What will that mean for you guys?

Thanks! I've been praying for you these days and know some of what you're feeling/experiencing.
