Life Update

It's been awhile since you last heard from me! I've had a dry spell. :o)

We are about to enter a new chapter in our lives, as our baby girl graduates from college! It just doesn't seem possible! I have seen such a growth in her these past couple of years. Not only has she grown, she has BLOSSOMED! And that is a beautiful thing to watch and see!!

I have ALWAYS loved her, but I REALLY REALLY like her too! I'm so proud of her, and I am so excited to see what God has in store for her life now. We all feel like a portion of her life is going to be spent in Haiti!!! We just don't know when or how long at this point, but we know God will make that clear. Until then, I will enjoy having her back at home for awhile. I've missed her!

Other family news:
Erin and Stephen are moving to a smaller, less expensive, apartment as Stephen is getting ready to go back to school!
Randy had a wreck a few weeks ago, and we will soon be settling all of that and getting him a new ride (and in "new" I mean, used).
My Dad's wife has put the house at the beach up for sale, so that means that as soon as it sells, I will have enough money to pay off everything but our mortgage and college loans - which will make my life much less stressful. (Daddy left his 1/2 to me and my sisters) Finances will still be tight, and not much extra spending still, but it will be better!! There is actually a contract on the house right now, but I don't know how much and we are waiting to see if it will appraise - - so pray that it does!!
Work is REALLY good right now - in as far as I'm "caught up" (shhhh, I didn't say that out loud), and I'm not stressed at work at all at the moment!!

So, life is pretty good right now - - Thank you, Lord! I've needed a break. :o)
