Hello Everyone,
WOW! I have not posted in a very long time. So, I think I have some "catching up" to do. I'm going to attempt (that's the key word here) to summarize some of the "highlights" (both good and bad) of events that have happened the past few months. Here it goes....(in chronological order since my last post)

-had a good time with lace, just me and her hanging out. :)
-visit Lacey again: for her birthday and to go to a wedding/bridal shower for her
October:
-spent 2-3 weeks in CO with the fam. doing major camping; horseback riding; got lost for a few hours, in the mountains, at night, on horseback; dad and heather hunted (and succeeded); played in a foot of snow or more by doing lots of sledding, snowball fights, snow angels, and even got to learn to ride/drive a snowmobile for the first time (it was a blast!).
-Lacey and John came for a weekend visit.

-wedding/bridal shower for Lace at our house: beach themed--it was cute. :)

-hayride/bon fire at our place for family of lace and john....there was an accident involved, that in turn brought people closer together. It reminded us all of how in control God is and how He is the protector of all things.

----Today:
-Easter Sunday: went to church, ate a delicious turkey dinner/lunch, had an egg hunt outside, went to the visitation for three people (parents and daughter) that we knew who died in a car accident earlier this week. *******please pray for their son and their relatives as they're mourning this great loss******** when we got home from that, we decorated 19 hard boiled eggs, which I think that's the first time I've ever decorated Easter eggs.
amongst all that, I've been babysitting lots and working for my dad a bit.
