• We are Home!! Yay!

   EDIT: We are rearranging the workspace for Mark it just wasn’t working. So of course one thing leads to another and lets just say I am now into cleaning kitchen cupboards….don’t ask!

  
  

  Haha…. we are up to our eyeballs in moving furniture and stuff….so pics are down the list for a day or so…..maybe we need to find out what vitamins Randy is taking so we can get everything up in 24 hrs like he does!!!

  
  

  In the meantime we got the neatest thank you email from Jeff that made me cry…God really is in everything we just gotta look harder or better or just be more open to what He is doing even when it hurt or frustrates or annoys us. There is always a reason for everything…if we can just see our lives as belonging to Him and that He is in control we can really dispense of so much of the stress and anger and manipulation, can’t we…??  

  
  

  God bless you!!!

  Were home! We got home about 7 pm our arrival should have been around 4! The train was late coming from Chicago to pick us up…. plus we had to yield to every train between Reno and Sacramento! Which was a real headache for alot of people one of which was a pastor from Nevada who was on his way to pick up a car for his wife in Martinez, Ca. He was so stressed and the guy he was buying it from was not being very understanding or patient! Jeff noticed I was reading a Richard Foster book and struck up a conversation with me in the middle of his stress and we found out his dilemma and decided we could help him out. So as soon as we got off the train last night we all hoofed it to our house (10 min walk) and Mark and Jeff took off in our car to Martinez to get the car and I took his son Josiah and his 2 friends to The Underground where they had tickets to see Mutemath and a couple other bands, a surprise for Josiah’s birthday. Since Dad couldn’t use his ticket because of all the delay our daughter Lindsay got to go. After picking up the car and getting back into town they swung by Jamba Juice and picked up Brian from work and then onto the church to get the rest of the gang. God really works things out doesnt He??!! We were amazed how we were so able to help them out in every way they needed and it blessed us to do it! We said good bye to them just before midnight as they drove off in their new (used) car for his wife. Which is by the way a surprise for her! They had a room reserved downtown Sac for the night and probably got up early this morning and drove straight home! With no stops along the way! haha….

  
  

  We are busy today so we wont get the pics up probably until tonight..so check back then….

  
  

  Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
