Home For a While...I Think

I have missed sitting in front of the computer over the last month. I've had a few blog posts here and there, but not any time to write and reflect. I probably still won't have much time until we get settled in Victoria. We haven't even had a person look at our home in two weeks. I am not doubting God at all, in fact, I think he is possibly wanting us to dream a little bigger for our future home, which I will explain in a future post. Just keep praying that God will continue to lead us with clear direction, and that we will have the eyes to see and the ears to hear his voice.

On Monday, my daughter Ashley turned thirteen and we celebrated in Victoria at Chili's with family and a few friends. I don't know where the years have gone, but I am beyond proud of this sweet girl. I could write a book about all the wonderful characteristics she possesses, but it still wouldn't measure up to the gift that she is to me. She is so much like her daddy, but she looks a lot like her mama. Happy Birthday Ashley!

On Wednesday Skip and I celebrated the 15th anniversary of our marriage snuggled up with the sniffles. We both have sinus infections or something to that effect. We feel like crud, and are aching and sneezing. We envisioned a romantic dinner last night, somewhere very secluded and without children, but instead, Skip cooked a pasta shrimp dinner and served me right alongside the kiddos. I know this is not very romantic. We were sick, and he more than made up for it with his post I read today. I guess he really enjoyed reading the post I wrote for him last year.

If I feel better I will be stopping by to catch up with all of you fellow bloggers. I miss you all, and I am so out of the loop of all that is going on in your lives. For now, I have 5 loads of laundry to do, and a whole lot of praise music to listen to as I fold, and clean my sniffles away.
