Where in the world have we been?

Well it's been just about a year since we last posted. Not. By the end of this weekend we should have some new posts and pictures up for you to see. J

In the past month we have flown 2400 miles and driven 1300 miles to see family and friends (we called it vacation?), hauled lots of junk from our yard to the dump (3 truck loads), started planting the garden (some of which Charlie may have destroyed), designed/built/painted a bed (Josh is such a handyman), sold some stuff to the pawn shop (we almost have a guest room now), and attended 2 baseball games (Detroit Tigers and CS SkySox). We have been a little bit busy and it has taken its toll. We are tired but we are being renewed each day. Josh caught the crud that is going around but he is doing much better. I was blessed with just 1 night of some kind of sickness. All is well, God is good. We were able to take our vacation and not have the costs hit our budget thanks to a very nice thank you gift from my employer. God is very good.

Some inspiration today:

Pour Out by Shawn McDonald

Pour out your water
That I might take a sip
Your love consumes me
Every drip
It is like Honey
On my lips
Pour out your water
That I might take a sip
Your words
Are a lamp unto my feet
When I walk down these
Dark and Lonely streets
You are all I need
Pour out your mercy
And clear this busy mind
Your love is like Eden
A slice of apple pie
It is like sugar on my tongue
So pour out your mercy
Clear my busy mind
Your words
Are a lamp unto my feet
When I walk down these
Dark and Lonely streets
You are all I need
Your words
Are a lamp unto my feet
When I walk down these
Dark and Lonely streets
You are all I need

Thank you, Shawn, for being the 6^th song that my iPOD chose to play today. J As I said, pictures and all that fun stuff coming soon!

Grace to you,
