let me give you a bullet point update list.  (apologies for the random and unimportant bullets included): State came last week to the Arbor.  All is good.  Thank you SO much for praying.  I can't tell you how much things have changed in a year.  And now we can work on focusing on the future…

You ever have something you say come back and bite you in the butt.? (Apologies to all those who have issues with “butt” but this is my blog and that’s how I am thinking it…so I just gotta say it.)  I mean, it hurts.  Like a big rabid dog taking a chunk?  (I got bit…

So, nothing super spiritual here…sort of, just some thoughts: My house is pretty empty…you know the echoing sound that signals an empty house full of possiblities and ready to be lived in?  Well it is strange because I know I am leaving it.  Never done that before.  Left apartments and dorm rooms and such but…

For the sake of keeping you faithful bloggy types updated… My house sale is going through.  Termite guy comes tomorrow.  Closing is the 13th at 3pm 🙂 I am packing and sorting and getting ready for the missions yard sale Saturday 6:30-11am.  Bring your stuff Thurs/Fri and come buy stuff!
