Prayer needed!

Some very good friends of ours in Fort Worth need prayer right now. Their 22 year old daughter is in the hospital with kidney failure. God has already answered many prayers in that she is still with us. We are believing that God will bring her through to recovery as the dialysis continues. She is a wonderful testimony of how good God is and will continue to praise Him in this as well. She is currently in ICU and we are praying for a quick clean out of her system and a good prognosis of any possible damage to other systems. Please pray for the Bunch family and their daughter Samantha.

New Grandbaby!

Well, we have heard from the Dr. that Jay and Kris are expecting a boy around June 24. The baby is healthy and mom is doing well. Reid knows where the baby is, but I don't know if he knows what this means yet. They have not decided on names, but I will let you know when we do.

I can't tell you how exciting it is to see Jay as a dad. Mark brought home a video from his last visit when they took Reid to the park. I was in awe of the man Jay has become. I will be excited to see Reid as a big brother and I am really excited that we will be able to be closer for this grandbaby.

Special Folks

I want to tell you about a couple of people who mean the world to me. My parents are two of the most loving and down to earth people. They have worked hard to provide for and raise us. And they did a wonderful job. Though I haven't always listend to them or taken the well meant advice, I have found that they have wisdom to share and love to give. They have made my life what it is and I love them both. You are great parents, grandparents and friends.

I love you Momma and Daddy.

House News

Well, we are officially back on the market. Hopefully we will get some movement on it this time.

Yes, it is a picture from a couple of years ago.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to a wonderful nephew. I remember it well since I turned 18 when you were born. Love you!

Snowboarding Pictures

Well, Mark decided not to ski that day but caught some cute pictures of Andrew and Ashley learning. It seems they spent a lot of time on the sitting down part.
Yet they seemed to have fun and want to try some more.

Not much new!

Well, not much new is happening here. We are getting the house ready to put back on the market. We are hoping the market has bounced back some. We are continually told, that our house is lovely and shows well and that we are in the optimum neighborhood and well priced. But they said that the last time too. But God is in control not me. (thank goodness)

Mark and I have narrowed down the lots he looked at to three. So we started on the quest for the financing. Well, thanks to the economy and mortgage fiascos of the last few years, we are having trouble finding a way to finance the land. Noone wants to loan on land alone and noone wants to let us build it ourselves. We need a third party builder or be in a development. Anyone that knows Mark knows that neither of those things are what we want. We want out by ourselves and Mark wants to do the building himself. We still have a few possibilities that we are checking into, but all is on hold till we at least get the house on the market. That should be next weekend. (yea, showings:(.)

Everyone is doing well. It is a holiday weekend here and the kids have Monday off. So Mark is going to take Andrew and Ashley to the mountain to snowboard. He may even try it as well. This should be fun to watch. Pictures will follow.....
