Whirlwind Weekend

Just a quick update. I had a wonderful time with the Madory’s this weekend celebrating the girl’s birthdays. Angela and I didn’t get a lot of sleep trying to get everything done for Madi’s party and by Saturday night when it was all over we were pretty exhausted!!! But we had a great time anyway putting it all together and making it a special day for a special girl! I am so glad I was able to come down for it and spend a little time with them. On the way home I was thanking God for bringing our lives together! Then on Sunday the church that I visited was also having mission’s emphasis month. I got to visit with a missionary family to England and hear some good lessons/messages on missions as well. Then back home and back to work today. Here are just a couple of pictures from the party from my phone. I’ll post pics from Jentrie’s later when I have my camera handy.




Have a great week!
Sarah

Ours For A Little While, With Jesus Forever

Today my little brother, David, would have turned 24 years old. It's hard to believe it's been almost 10 years now since he went home to be with Jesus. But at the same time it seems like a lifetime ago. I was thinking about it today and what life would be like if that had not happened....and I truly can not imagine it. Just as at the time I could not imagine life without him, I can not imagine him here in this time. I can not imagine what kind of person he would be or even who I would be today because losing him and going through that changed my life and my family so much. I'm still thankful to God for bringing us through and that he continues to sustain us. I've been working on a long well thought out post for the last...ohhh...two years about him and going through that time of loss. It's still not quite complete. Maybe it never will be, because from year to year what I would say changes and I just keep editing... But I decided that even without all the

Well just one week from right now, I will be aboard a plane somewhere between here and Kenya ! I can't believe that the time has actually come! And boy did it come fast!! No, I am not packed... But the suitcases are here... Waiting... The laundry is being done... And the living room, kitchen and bathrooms are... clean!! How does that help? Well, I always enjoy coming home to a clean house even if I’m just gone a few days. So this will be even better!! When I got home from work last night, I put my key in the lock and walked into my house expecting to find it as I left it that morning: Dark, unvacuumed, pile of work sweaters in the recliner, basket of unfolded clothes on ottoman, mail on the tv tray, and several stray pairs of shoes waiting for me to trip over them. But to my great SURPRISE (I jumped a little lol) and DELIGHT the blinds were open, the smell of autumn was in the air (compliments of the many burning candles) the floor was vacuumed, clothes put in the bedroom,

What?!? Another post?! So soon? Two days in a row?! I know... it's shocking. But here it is! Just a few photos of the bracelets that we've made so far. They are not all strung together yet with clasps but I think you'll get the idea. Notice the lovely paper clip and the Post-it's from the first photo? (I actually just looked at them to check on how to spell Post it..and they aren't even real Post Its!! They're "Stickies"! Did I get it right yet?) And that this tray is sitting on a stack of papers on my desk at work? Nice right? Very warm and earthy. I like these! Good job Shauna!! We have really enjoyed working on them a lot. I called Shauna a monster yesterday but last night I was the one up until 2! The most acceptable explanation (that I'll go into right now) is that we are both aware that it's only 14 days...14 DAYS!!! that's TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY... until I leave so we would like to get it all done and not be doing
