Thankful

I want to take a moment and thank everyone for the comments and encouragement. I have to say today was a good day. We were able accomplish a lot today around the house and spend some time with Kyndal. We also went to the hospital to see friends who just had a baby on Thursday. I think we had forgotten how small Kyndal was....... and no Mom it was not a sign to have another child.

I was also able to go to a singing with my Grandfather tonight. I really enjoyed it. I don't get enogh time to spend with him and it was great to just sit beside him tonight and enjoy myself. My grandparents have meant a lot to me and I hope they know how much I love them. For that matter all of my family means a lot to me and I hope they (you) all know how much I love you.

Not to complain but... what next?

Kristin and I were talking tonight about all of the things that have happened in our family this year. It seems like every week it is something. In just six weeks we have had;

  • Two visits to the ER with Kyndal. Neither was a major issue but it is never easy regardless.
  • A terrible stomach flu for all of us that lasted almost a week
  • John's Mom has been in and out of the hospital
  • My grandmother has several issues including broken vertabra and a cancer diagnosis
  • A minor wreck in the truck (dealing with insurance.... agh!)
  • A speeding ticket
  • And today A flat tire
Now, don't get me wrong, we know that we are truly blessed. It just seems that lately, there seems to be something every week.

Sorry, just had to vent a little. I hope everyone is doing well.





So, I thought I would share this picture, because it is still one of my favorites and makes me smile.

Prayer Requests and Random Thoughts 2

Ok, so my wife doesn't want me to be "one of those" that means, your blog is only as good as the new content. So, I have a few thoughts and prayer requests.

First, please pray for our family. There are several people that have not been feeling well for some time. Please pray for them and that they would feel beter very soon. We love them all very much! It has been a crazy start to 2008 for all of us and I hope that things will slow down and get back to normal soon.

Second, please pray for Kristin and her business. It is growing quickly and we may have to make some decisions soon about new/additional space. We have been blessed that things have progressed at a steady pace. If we are lucky enough things will continue to progress.

Now for some random thoughts......

Why has no one told us about IKEA before. We visited this store for the first time in Atlanta last weekend. IT was awesome. Who knoew you could get breakfast and everything you could ever think of for your house in one place.

How can it already be the middle of February? This has been the fastest year! Just reminds us that we should appreciate our family and all that we have every day.

Finally, I know we have been busy and have not had much time to spend with family and those that we care about but we will try to do that more in the near future.

I love you all!
