CHANGE --- that we love :)

Howdy y'all :)

Are you enjoying these October days?  I hope yours are filled with lots of pumpkin bread and changing leaves.  We are still enduring temperatures in the mid to upper eighties down here in Houston.    I am longing to wear my boots but it is just still too hot!

It has been since September 6 since I last updated you with my "thoughts".    This is because "life" has gotten in the way of me having too many "thoughts" so I shall give you an update of our "life" and maybe one day my "thoughts" will come back to the blog!

For your viewing pleasure....

I just felt like y'all needed to know what is going on in our lives so you can catch back up with me as I fill all of you in with my thoughts on all these crazy events in our lives!   We feel like in the last two months God has pushed the GO button in our lives.  After spending a quiet year in the barn this is a wonderful change.   A change that is happening very quickly.
