it's been a long time.............

so sorry for the month long delay. things are so crazy busy, i just haven't had any time. plus the fact that we haven't had a phone line, then we didn't have our internet access yet. anywho, i miss ya'll something awful. i've got to get caught up on your lives! hope you haven't forgotten about me down here all by my lonesome? i love our house and it's quickly turning into our home. i'll post pictures soon. i also have some really good ones of doodle. she loves being here and she loves to show people her room and "big girl" bed. what a smarty pants!!! who knows, she may even pass me up! i hope so! michael's been teaching, coaching, taking 3 online masters classes and being a part-time youth minister. i barely have a husband. football season will soon be over and i cannot wait. i know some have been praying, i could tell. thank you. from the bottom of my heart. i would've never made it w/o Him. i have a prayer request for someone else. deaven and tammy bishop. they just had their newest arrival, number 4! i think they decided on phoenix, but i'm not certain. she weighed 7lbs. and something. tammy woke up with contractions at 1am. and the baby was born at 2:30pm. they sure do get faster with each one. phew! i don't think i'll try it for myself, though! but the prayer request is this, they handed in their resignation at their church for december. then on wednesday, i think, (this is second hand through Lori Hawkins) the church asked them to go ahead and leave with a month's severence pay and they could live in the house until december. some comments were made and it's not a great situation. they are looking to go ahead and move to louisville where deaven will have a better shot at a job. i simply can't imagine having a 3 day old baby and 3 other children to move! i guess i'm asking to pray god's blessings on their whole situation. my heart really goes out to them.

i love each of you and thank you for your patience with our move.
