Greetings!!! January 14, 2009
( hope all is well )
It’s been awhile since my last update. ☹ Heaps of things have happened. Here are the latest news bulletins about life at our house.
The recording of our Christmas songs is completely done, and we now are in the process of critiquing it. It is not going to be available for awhile . Still, we plan on putting some samples out just as soon as things get finished up. Now it may seem to you that all we keep on saying is, “It’s almost done,” but, seriously; making a CD is no easy task. You could spend years making everything as perfect as perfect could get. And.......I think you get my point. Were you able to follow that?
We went to GYC in December. It was in, San Jose, California. It was a definite blessing. Any of you who haven’t gone before should certainly look into it. It’s going to be in Oklahoma this coming year. Pssst.....Did I really just say, Oklahoma? (Well, then, shh.....don’t tell anyone else) meanwhile, I’d like to start that again: This coming year, GYC well be held in, Louisville, Kentucky.
Well, well. What can you do with a memory like mine! Just imagine how forgetful I’ll be when I’m eighty! Second thought, actually maybe how about you don’t try to imagine. No need to rush things any more than is “naturally normal.” :P ☺So.... Our flight back from GYC ended upgetting canceled because of the weather. So, we decided to drive home with some friends. We rented a van, and left San Jose, California, at approx. 4:30 p.m. and drove the 20 hours back. Yes, I totally agree: flying is a faster means of transportation. I’m thankful that God kept us safe-which, just think; probably wasn’t a hard task for him to do, since I was not the one behind the wheel, lol. still, I had it so easy......zzzzzzzzzz.......I slept most of the time. ☺
Have I told you about our December weather yet? To say we didn’t get very much snow, ice, then rain, wind, et cetera would be a major understatement. We got a whopping two feet of snow, with ice sandwiched in-between. (The smiley face was left out of that last sentence for a reason) Let me just say I am so thankful we were able to use Peter’s four-wheel-drive truck. Indeed, It saved us a lot of stress. ( all though it still took hours to get into town and back ) The electricity was out for about 30 or so hours, and being we don’t have a wood stove, we are dependent on the furnace for heat. The temperature in the house dropped to 54 . We celebrated Christmas in the dark. And to top it all of, Juanita and I were also sick with the flu/cold type thing. In short, we had Christmas dinner at the church, and now I am happy to say that we are all well and functioning normally now.
Well, I need to go catch up on some homework. So until next time...be brave! And lets remember our duty and perform it without complaint. “May life’s greatest gifts always be yours- happiness, memories, and dreams.”
Smiles for you! ☺
