Always changing.....never ending......

Oh it has been for-ev-er since I posted!!! The grandkids are growing and growing and growing...!
So, I will just give a quick overview of whats going on..... Kevin is working working working... and so involved in his men's group at church. He is gearing up for good weather to ride his motorcycle every chance he gets! We are slowly keeping the redo's of the house going, but so much as to overwhelm him. He needs his time to enjoy himself!
I am working working working! Moved up at work from one dept to another. It has been a little stressful but looks to be something I can work with for now. I am currently enrolled in distance education with AHIMA to acquire my Certified Coding Specialist degree. This has been a stretch with the pre requisite class A&P since I have not had to go to 'school' everyday for many many many years! I have taken courses along the way of my career, but not something like this. PRAYERS are always welcome here!
Our families seem to be healthy and all of us are looking forward to consistent good weather. Kevin and I are just busting to get out and go camping!! I have a scrap retreat coming up in a few weeks and then the following week end we are off to camp at Harris Park in MiltonFreewater! Cannot wait!!!

I will update more later, pictures and all! Take care & stop in and leave me a note, I would love to hear from you.....

Really....?

So where is it written that if you say no to attend a function that you are automatically kept at a arms length and why is it that rather than share the meaning of the little quirky, function related comments, it cannot be explained to you or shared in a manner that doesn't leave you feeling left out or even punished for trying to hear God on whether you should have went in the first place. What - you couldn't try and bring in those who weren't there? AND,using the old saying "you just had to be there" is a lame excuse... what if Christ would have told us towards the back of the book..." Oh, and by the way, you'll never get all of this...you just had to be there"...
I am just saying...it can spoils a girls desire to do anything else with the group... seriously, it could...

Fall is on it's way.......

We are into late summer and fall is on it's way. I have taken to 'reflection' time a lot lately. I guess it is because I see our pumpkin raising her little ones and it makes you wonder if you did everything good and right the first time! No matter, because they find their way and flourish eventually. Some, well some take longer than eventually and you just wait it out with a smile and a few tears every now and then........
I posted my page scripture on FB and with it a reflection of the need to be sure my feet are shod and on the right path..... not off the path - just reflecting. I think as we grow along life.... we need to take a few moments every once in awhile and evaluate where we are, how we got there, and if maybe we should check our "GPS" as to where we should be. It is a good thing.
We have been enjoying the grandchildren so much. If you have Krystal's blog address - check it out! If not - click here on my site - Pumpkin - and check out little Jeremiah's first day of kindergarten.... HILlARIOUS!
It warms me deeply that he is so concerned with my allergies.....yet I do know he used this as a way to avoid being pointed out or having attention drawn to him..... still.... very funny.

Take two minutes and check your shoes and where they stand..... then ask for directions if you need to.....XO

SO BUSY...must slow down!!
Kevin is home from Mexico (last month) then off to MO to see his dad......then home for 2 days and we were off to Arizona for a wonderful 5 days with my brother Lance and his adorable family....... home and back to work with all the trimmings! Kevin is such a wonderful provider for us. Thank you Lord for his love for what he does - I would never want him to work so much if he din't love it.
Aaron is working at our local airport for a company that took HorizonAir's place.....Seaport Airlines. He gets to fly free in the NW and when/if he goes completely full time, the US. He cut his hair and looks oh so handsome in his black dress pants and white shirt. He gets to talk to people everyday and that makes him happy, well the money isn't bad either!!!
Krystal and her little circus are doing great, Judah is growing sooooo fast.
He has yet to meet his Great Grandma Ruth and a few of the relatives that way. I hope they get a chance to meet our little monkey soon before he learns to get from tree to tree!!
My neice Stephanie comes to work for our office on Monday and I cannot be more excited! She will get to dress up and learn all kinds of wonderful things. It will be a huge step for her and I know she is looking forward to it!

I am following through with my plans to retrun to my Scrap & Stamp Events business. Just planning a few Friday Night Crops and Saturday Day Crops in our area. It is a small start, but I am not willing to get overwhelmed all at once. I'll take a slow panic, thank you!

I will post the schedule and hope to hear from ALL of you!!!
Be blessed as you bless others.............XO

Pray for the M4M team, they leave today for the states and on to Knotts Berry Farm....then Home!!!
Also, Kevin's Dad in Branson,MO had a stroke this week.

I'll bet you thought I would never be back!!! Well, I am going away again for a short time so here's a little update......
Kevin is gone to Mexico for a missions trip with Missions4Mexico -Tim Pilchh's group. We have been going every year for around 14 years. So I am lookin forward to some quiet nites going through some boxes in preparation for my crafty retreat in April. Just had a nice evening with Aaron and a few others at the hockey game last night, no fights and we lost 2 to 1. Still, a good time.
The grandchildren are spectacular and I love being a Nana! Their love for us is so precious, so pure.
A lot going on this spring. Home, work, and of course camping! I am getting a little deeper in the wedding plans and up to my eyes in the scrapbooking stuff. I will license the business in late summer/fall and begin booking retreats/events for spring of 2010. I will still facilitate the two I do with Lori but I will forge on with my vision for the business.
I look forward to seeing just where the Lord places us in ministry other than musically. All the bible college credits, the ordination and licensing, the prophetic flow, the 'whatcha know' about days.... I'd like to get back to it in the disciplined fashion we have grown away from since attending the other church. Dry places now, needing/being nurtured.

Just put Aaron on the plane to LA..... he's got a tour with a band he is going to be a part of...... "the honeytrees". They have a great sound and an awesome guitar player(ha!) Two weeks....... no laundry on the floor and missing dishes!!! I love him so!!!
