Pray

So I think I have nothing to say...somehow, I have enough time to read everyone else's blog and not much to say on mine! I've been a unmotivated and wishing I lived near all my old friends, so I can easily talk to them instead of write on my blog.

I am feeling the newness of a move across country. I feel so at home. I guess I should, I am living with my parents. Still. Yet, I do feel lonely because my friends and dear neighbors provided so much comfort and peace in my daily life. More than I knew.

Please pray for some close friends of ours...quite a long story perhaps for another day, but our dear friend Amie has been diagnosed with a serious form of stomach cancer. She and Paul have suffered tremendous loss and their burden is heavy.

For my dear Gulf Drive friends, I miss the easy opportunities we had to share our burdens and care for one another. I covet your prayers on behalf of our friends for healing, for peace, for strength.

The 4th

My happy fourth began on July 3rd when my dad brought the van home completely repainted (well, not the whole van, but the p.m. part) and detailed inside out! It was a great improvement to the piece of artwork I'd been driving for the past two weeks and best of all it only cost $350 instead of $1600! We started our fourth at some friends house having breakfast and then headed to the local fourth of July parade! Then we spent the rest of the afternoon at home barbequeing and hanging out! We topped it off with some great margaritas in the jacuzzi (post kiddo bedtime) where we had a fabulous view of the cities local fireworks show! The best part was that I was only fifty feet from my bed at the end of the big show! It doesn't get any better than that!
