Happy 1st Anniversary

It is hardly comprehendable that today marks one year since Zach and Candi got married. They've accomplished alot in a year -- both have great jobs, they bought their first home a few months ago, and welcomed a new addition -- a pooch named Roxie. We're very proud of them and hope they have many, many more anniversaries!

Happenings!

Jacob started high school this week and boy did I get caught by surprise. It was just like kindergarten all over again. He's a freshman now and he's growing up. I cried all the way home -- just like kindergarten. Then he came home yesterday and he went from this . . .

to this . . .

WOW!

Father God, no matter what my children do or don't do, I pray they do in your will.

Life in the fast lane . . .

Sometimes, I get tired of living in the fast lane. Sometimes, I want to pull over. Sometimes, I want to bail (to use one of Jacob's new words)! and Sometimes, I just need a few days to chill.

We recently took a few days to lay on the beach, lay around the pool, lay around the campsite and just chill. It was great and certainly gave us some time to recharge our batteries. We took hubby's mother with us. She was in need of a break after losing her mother and we took Jacob's cousin with us so he would have some teen companionship. It gave us time to make some decisions and plans for our future.

Hubby is actively looking for a job that will allow him to be home with us instead of on the road. Jacob is starting high school in a couple of weeks back in the public system and in a new district. In this economy things are tight, but God is faithful! Thank goodness for my Savior -- without him my life would be a complete mess. The house is still on the market albeit in a new realtor's hands -- and we're waiting patiently on God to reveal his plans for our lives.

So, life in the fast lane or broke down on the side of road? Doesn't really matter as long as you know the master mechanic.
