Well, they say "no news is good news" but in this situation, it sounds rather appropriate to say "no news is no news". (see sad smile) We've had a few leads but nothing so far has come from any of them. We're still trusting and praying for the little one or ones that God has planned for us. Some days it's just harder than others to wait on His timing (when my own timing has already come and gone! lol)
Our house is really quiet these days. Our son has gone on to Job Corps and he is having a wonderful time! We visited with him this past week-end and had a great time! It does a parent's heart good when we hear our children talking about how things are going and how they are using things we've taught them. I was so worried about him, but our visit set my heart soaring for him again. It was wonderful!
There is a little noise going on in our house during the day. We've had some repairs done to our main bathroom and tomorrow we're getting a fresh coat of paint and new baseboards! I'm super excited about this! We've picked out a lovely bright green color that we thought was so cheerful! I can't wait to see it all completed!
I'm really looking forward to fall this year. I love the cooler weather and I've been visiting pinterest a lot, so I have some awesome ideas for decorating!
Chris threw a big birthday bash for me a couple weeks ago. It was so much fun! There were lots of people and tons of food and even a purse cake & photograph booth and great stories of my past! My cousins from Wichita came up and we had such a great time! He really knows how to throw a party! I'm such a blessed lady to have him and our son in my life!
Tim & Katie (Chris' brother & sis-in-law) are getting closer to having their twins. We had a big scare a couple weeks ago and she is on bed rest for now. They are hoping she will be off bed rest in the next couple of weeks and that the babies will stay put until at least November 1st. After that, the doctor will be more than excited to have them arrive. We are all patiently awaiting their healthy arrival, too!
Thanks for stopping by to visit today and especially thank you for your prayers. It's been a rough couple of months, but God is good and He always helps us see when we need to turn our focus back on Him! Have a blessed September!
