Much needed update!!




Well, we are still living with the parents and that is why I have not blogged lately - I hate uploading my camera stuff to someone elses computer. Here is a few things that have went on lately. In June we went on a wonderful family vacation - it had been five years since Matthew adn I had taken a vacation - so it was a much needed break. We went to Saint George Island in Florida - we were joined there by my family - it isn't too often that a whole family can get together and do something like this - we were so blessed. We rented someone's personal condo - and had a great time - we had the bay on one side of us and the gulf on the other side. The kids loved the water and Lacie was thrilled with the world's largest sand box.

Now for July: First, We returned from Florida and my sister and brother-in-law closed on their new house, so we have been updating the house for about three weeks now - WOW! alot of work - painting, bathroom update, painting cabinets, and putting in 1400 square feet of new flooring. The progress is starting to show and hopefully this coming week they will be moving furniture in. Second, we received a contract on our house in Knoxville this month and are scheduled to close on July 31st - we are praising the Lord. We have looked at a few houses in Bland and are seriously interested in one - just please continue to pray that we follow the Lord's leading. Third, Matthew was voted in last Sunday night to be the Church Assistant at Kegley Baptist Church (our home church) - the pay is just a start, so it is a step of faith for the Lord to provide the rest. I thank you for reading my blog and as we get some more things settled I will share more with you. Thanks for your prayers!!
