Thankfulness

I am definitely looking forward to this new season. It is not only a new physical season but a new state of mind. I am so thankful for all of my family and all of my friends. Where would I be without them? So many people do not get the family and friends that I have.
Now that school is out for the summer, Jared's schedule becomes increasingly busy. I don't know how he does it but traveling for Missions is his passion and I am thankful for his heart. I miss him sooooo much each year when he leaves. This year he is going to China, among other places, and it makes me a little nervous. He has a way of trusting God that I yearn for. He knows that the Lord will guide his every step and I am thankful for a protecting God. Jared recently gave a graduation speech that was about thankfulness which made me realize that I take for granted so many things. I am most of all, right now, thankful for God who gave me Jared.
This week, Jared asked me to help with his basketball camp and next week, we are taking a vacation to Vermont, which will be very cool. I am thankful for these next 2 weeks to get to spend with him. Then he leaves for Jamaica. He will leave Jamaica for Belgium and come home for a few days and then he will be off to Taiwan and China. Please pray for him and the many different countries and regions he will be visiting. There are so many people that either do not know God, don't know how to know God, or do not want to know God. I ask you to pray for them and for Jared and his partners to reach them.

The update

Well I finally reset my password so that I can blog. Life is good. We are in Miami and I am teaching dyslexia and Jazzercise. Jared is coaching everything- it just feels like everything. Basketball this year went well and was pleased with his team. We have done so much in the last year that it is hard to say everything. Had some good vacations and good family times. Looking forward to catching up on everyone's blogs and will eventually have to do the Facebook thing- not looking forward to that.

Wow!

We have internet!

News, news, news! We now have the internet. It has been oh so long since any communication besides the good ole radio has been broadcast in our home. Yes- we have a home! Tons of news.

Yeahhh!!!

It is the little things in life that make me a happy girl. I have a new phone finally. I had to buy a new one cause my cheap flip phone broke into (in two?) with a little help from Olivia but mainly me dropping it 300+X. But the main reason that I am excited is that Jared is finally coming home. He has managed to come home with major jetlag from Taiwan, pack up most of our stuff (what he didn't sell, just kidding), clean our apartment, and move it on out! Whoohooo He is traveling right now- Shreveport area, please pray- and will make it tomorrow to Miami. I am very thankful to him and ready to see him after 1 whole month. I told him I was ready for babies but I think it is that I am just lonely. Is that considered 'oversharing'? Thanks for all of your support on the Jared-selling-my-stuff issue. I think I need to start a Wives of Thrify Husbands Anonymous.

BTW: If I don't call you for awhile, it is my broken phone's fault. Call me sometime so I'll have your number again.

It's been awhile

I have been in Slaton for 3ish weeks and I am ready to see Jared. He is home safely in Forida and is reluctantly moving the rest of our things. He is actually trying to sell my things. I was not mad about it. I actually thought it was funny and then he told me the price he was going to get for specific items and I was hurt deeply that he thought my possessions were so worthless. Fortunatly I caught him before they were out the door and nothing was lost. I guess next move I'll have to take inventory. Anyway I (the fam) went to Pampa to look at houses to buy and saw some that I really liked. We actually have no idea where we are going to live because I still do not have a job and it will depend on that. Same song I seem to sing. I don't have pictures and nothing interesting has happened but I will keep you posted on the goings on in the Neighbors' world.

Isn't it fun to learn so much about me?

You Are Thanksgiving

You are a bit of a homebody who enjoys being in the company of people you love. It doesn't take a lot to make you happy. You're enjoying life as it is. You have many blessings in your life, and you are grateful for each one. You believe that life is about what you *do* have. You feel like you have enough of the good stuff. What makes you celebrate: Family, friends, and the changing of the seasons. At holiday get togethers, you do best as: The host of the party On a holiday, you're the one most likely to: Spend so much energy preparing that it's a full time job

What Holiday Are You?

I agree with it all except that the last 2 paragraphs are so not me. Please do not make me host Thanksgiving! Give me about 10 more years to learn about turkey. And BTW I never really "go all out" on anything-except for sleep.
