Wow! Seems like time flies by! We have been busy,our room is about done ,we are waiting on carpet. The biggest challenge right now is beginning to plan Carrie's wedding,they have set the date of October 3rd 2009,So we have to get going,she is doing a great job of getting organized,she has asked a good friend to be her coordinator so Leanna will make sure she stays on track. She will be home next week so hopefully we will get alot accomplished. Please keep praying for Dominic,he is progressing more all the time but still has a ways to go,he has a good attitude about it which is very beneficial.
I am ready for SPRING!! Today it was 70 and felt soo good,BUT they say it is going to be high of 40 on friday so we arent done with the cold yet!
We had a big disappointment last friday night,our hometown basketball team had won all their games this season and last season,so they had not lost in over 47 games,we were hoping to go to state tourneyments again this year but it was not to be...they had a off night,couldnt get their balls to go in,so we lost.It was sad in one way BUT we are VERY proud of them,they had a great run,the best in school history SO they have NO reason to hang their heads they were a great team,thank you guys,it was fun!
Easter is coming and we are going to try to have a great sunday,we are pulling out the stops to get people to come,we hope we have a great number trust Christ as their savior that sunday. Weare busy going door to door passing out fliers for our BIG Day!!
have a great week,enjoy God's wonderful creation!! I'm so glad I have a BIG God who loves me no matter what!!!

Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the lord and He will give thee the desires of thine heart. That verse has been really special to me since I began dating my husband, We claimed this verse as ours early in our relationship,it also gives me delight as i look at my daughter Carrie and her fiance. They had been dating for awhile and it was nearing a time we knew Dominic would ask her to marry him but as of Christmas he didn't think she was ready BUT then came January 11,he was in a very serious sledding accident and broke his back. This was a good wakeup call for Carrie she KNEW she loved him more than ever then. We are so glad to say that they are happily engaged now and he is on the road to recovery! He is in a rehab center in Grand Rapids MI and is doing great! It will be a long time before he can walk easily but as of now he can walk with a cane...how exciting!! To God be the Glory!! We have been busy,we decided to redo our bedroom and put the oak trim in like the front of the house,this is a major job for Chris! I do very little BUT it is taking shape now and it is very nice! We also made it thru tax time and that is always an accomplishment!! We have missionaries staying with us this week and what a blessing they have been! Lowell and Michelle Griffin and their 5 children are a huge blessing! The kids love to come down to the farm and help milk,they also helped Chris haul manure the other day Fun Job!! Michelle talked to our ladies missions group last night and we had a great time with her...learning about all the bugs ugh!! Well so far we have had a wonderful year,God has been very good to us and our family, we are truely BLESSED!! Thank you Lord!!
