nothing against blogging...

Lizzie, I have nothing against blogging I have just been extremely busy and falling into bed each night exhausted. I love blogging, although I am always editing my thoughts and words... you never know who reads !

Joshua pulled himself to standing yesterday... which was cool. He is always wanting to get up and go - gonna get thin just by making sure he's not getting into trouble.

My mom and her mom came up today to help me pack. Say farewell to the majority of my kitchen... thanks mom. Great grandma watched joshua for us. I can' t believe in 2 weeks we are moving... I get butterflies in my belly when I think about how big of a life change this is. I had an interestingly frusrating experience with an insurance company this week. Each person I talked to wanted different information, making me call back 4 times! Plus, they were not always the friendliest. Really, you think that they would be more helpful when you tell them that you are new home owners -as in "I have never done this before"! Anyway, I have since called another insurance company and they were great, and cheaper - so we are going to go with them.

I have to say, that God has been providing for us as we look to furnish our new place. I am so thankful for all of the help that our church family, and our family are giving us. We were given a farewell party, and it was amazing- the support and love expressed for us. Thanks Kathy and mike for hosting and preparing - it was awesome. At the party Ray was honored to baptize 2 children, 1 jr. high, and 1 adult - and it was all spur of the moment. Praise God for his timing. There was an open mike time... and for the most part it was all good comments. All good about Ray anyway! I am still seen as the heavy, and I was, but I have over the years relaxed a lot. Thanks Katherine, for your comment. I was only heavy - because I care and love the youth. So I guess I have mixed feelings about what the youth shared (in love) about me. Over all, I was so touched by the comments and feelings shared - thank you for loving us, and allowing us to grow and become the people that God wants us to be. Also, thank you for releasing us to go and follow God's path for us.

Well, I will be off for now... I will try to post a new entry before friday.. but as of friday we may not be connected to the net. So be patient - I will be back.
