Home Hunting

We spent part of today looking at houses. The whole process is driving me nuts. Brian will say "What do you think about....?" to which I reply - "What house are we talking about?".

We have found several homes we like - nothing that screams "I have to have this one!!"

It will be interesting to see how this all works out - will I get the kitchen I want?, will Brian get the garage he wants?, will David end up with a horse? Somehow through all of this David decided he wants a horse....

God is good - He will bring us to the best house for us at just the right time. It is so cool to just rest in His wisdom and realize - we don't have to worry about a thing.

Faithful

God is so good to us.

First Vicki has surgery, out of work for seven weeks, then four weeks at part time - full pay through the whole thing. Besides the whole walking without pain is fantastic!

Then Brian has surgery, figured he would be out for six weeks, he gets 60% of his pay. All is good, we can make it through. Then six weeks turns into eight weeks....

But, the faithful Lord we serve has come through. Brian is back at work, the bills are all paid. So we didn't take any fun trips for a while, we didn't go out to eat often, we didn't go to the movies....

We continued tithing, we relearned the joy of playing games with the family and the highlight of every day is SOAPing together.

Perhaps we are experiencing a little taste of heaven.

God is good.

New Home

It is so exciting - we are within months of our new home. No, we don't know where it is yet, but God is getting it ready for us.

We are spending time looking at paint colors, flooring, doors and spas. Not sure what we will need - but we must be prepared.

So cool to know God has us in the palm of His hand. He will open doors as they need to be open, not necessarily when we want them open!! Guess that is what walking in faith is all about.

God is so good!

Marriage

It is so amazing to be married to your best friend. After twenty years we still have a blast together.

We have such a busy weekend planned - celebrating Brian's birthday by going to the Home Show, going to a potluck with our Tres Dias friends on Saturday evening, spending all the time we can together in between.

God is showering us with blessings - can't wait to see what 2010 is going to bring. Whatever happens - we have each other, awesome friends and family and serve the risen Savior.

Even though the darkness is trying to interfere in our lives - we grasp hold of the truth - GOD WINS!!

Colorado

What an awesome New Year.Add Image This is the view from our Colorado home.... Okay, not our home, the home of Brian's spiritual parents - Rex and Joyce.

We drove up and spent three days being loved on, laughing, eating, learning more about the Lord. It was a mountaintop experience.

Vicki, being a city girl who loves the country, was amazed to see a snow storm (even when we got stuck at the bottom of the hill going up to the house!), to watch the birds feed, see deer and have the temperature not go above 28!
Pretty sure we haven't slept that soundly in a very long time.
Reminded us of how important our relationships are - we will be back in Colorado soon.

God is so good.
