Is summer ever comming?

I am begining to think that summer will never come. A few seconds ago I was looking out the window at the pool. I was day dreaming about the big pool party we are planning this summer and i realized that it is almost April and we still are waiting for a nice weekend. Today it is raining cats and dogs, and our sump pump has been going off consistantly for the last 3 hours. The down spouts on the house are overflowing and the yard looks like a swamp. Can you tell I am ready for summer? Josh and I are planning a few hikeing trips this summer and I cant wait for nice weather to start training. Lord please send some nice weather our way!!

Vacation

We are home and safe after a long journey to Branson MO and back. The drive went well and we arrived in Branson safe around 6 pm. We unloaded the car and checked our condo. It was very nice and overlooking Table Rock Lake. We enjoyed our week,if you ask me it ended all to soon. We laughed a lot and enjoyed spending time with our best friends. Some highlights of the week were Josh and Will getting called on stage to dance at Island Fire. Jim Stafford sharing Amanda and I's funniest momment to the world. Acrobats of China amazed me with their flexability. Playing tennis and being amazed by Joshes super human strength. Last but not lears our trip to the top of the St.Louis arch, absolutly terrifing!Its good to be home and getting back into the swing of life. Josh headed back to work today and I am still looing for a job. Please pray that the Lord provides me with a job soon, money is getting tight and soon we will be in over our heads. God works in different ways and we are being challanged daily to remail faithful that he will provide. Human nature is to worry and doubt but I need to keep remembering that the Lord will provide for us. Please continue to pray. I will keep you updated.PS. Josh is almost done with his Masters Degree!!! What a blessing, he is currently seeking "whats next" pray that he can finish strong and prepare for his Action Research Presentation!!Thank you for your friendship, the Lord has blessed us with AMAZING friends!!

Cleaning house

This past weekend Josh and I preformed "operation end of winter clean." We spent most of the day sat. cleaning. We even touched up the paint that had chipped off. The walls look fresh and the floor shines like new. I hate cleaning, but i love the feeling of a clean house. We bought new rugs and 2 new light fixtures. Oh the joys of home ownership. I can't wait to tackel the basement this summer and have the mother of all garage sales!!
