Give Thanks

"Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power

and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,

for everything in heaven and earth is yours.

Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;

you are exalted as head over all.

Wealth and honor come from you;

you are the ruler of all things.

In your hands are strength and power

to exalt and give strength to all.

Now, our God, we give you thanks,

and praise your glorious name."

1 Chronicles 29:11-13

I wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving!

Bits and Pieces

Alrighty folks (Um, mostly Karen) here is an update on what has been going on here:

Last week flew by. Dan and I both had Veterans day off, but having us both off on a Wednesday threw me off alittle because it made it feel like a weekend. The week was even more confused because neither of us got a weekend. Dan had to work Saturday and Sunday and so did I. It was the annual air show on base, and so I had to work at one of the booths we had. It went well. The weather was freezing due to the wind, but the show was awesome. It was fun watching it two days in a row. I never get tired of seeing those planes fly. Our booth was in a perfect spot, so we could see everything, and we were right next to the thunderbirds. It would have made for amazing pictures, but sadly I remembered the camera, but not the memory card. Whoops!

No news on our house yet. Our Realtor changed companies, so we have to sign termination paperwork with the previous  company and then sign new agreements with our realtor again. Fun fun fun. So I guess at this point no one is representing our house right now. Just part of the never ending saga that is our home selling process

The previous weekend I came home from church and noticed water dripping from the ceiling in a corner of the livingroom. Evidently a pipe in the upstairs apartment had burst, so it was dripping into our place. We had the repairmen come right away, and they ripped up the carpet, took out part of the pad, and then had us keep a REALLY loud air blower on that spot for three days. Needless to say, we were glad when that fiasco was finally over.

That's it for now. Happy Tuesday, everyone!

New Do

Here's the new hair. Well it's still my hair, but it's different. A lot different:)

Friday Ramblings

Ahh, Friday. Last day of work for the week. The new job is going well. I'm getting more and more confident in my duties there. Everyone is really nice, the atmosphere is extremely relaxed, and the schedule is great. This would definately be my first job (ever) that involves zero stress. God is amazingly good.

I only work four days a week, so on my day off this week (Wednesday), I went and got Onyx and George from our friend's house and I took them to the dog park. They were very excited to see me, and even more excited to ride in the car (typical dogs). First we went and dropped off Dan's forgotten boots. Then we tagged along with him while he ran a few errands. Finally we made it to the park. It was a good chance for them to run off some energy, which they have in abundance. Once it was time to leave I brought them back to our apartment. I then proceded to trim nails, give baths, and brush out lots of hair. I'm sure it wasn't exactly what they had in mind when they came into the apartment, but trust me, it was needed.  I kept them here for a few more hours and then I finally had to take them back *tear*.

No news yet on the house. We just signed the papers for the home inspection, and now our realtor is setting up some workmen to do the repairs that need to be done. Other then that- we just keep waiting.

Please pray for my Grandpa who had surgery on his neck this past Tuesday. As far as I know he is doing well after the surgery, but I know it's a long healing process, and it's a lot of stress on my Grandma.

And in keeping with the subject of prayer, please remember Dan's nephew.  He's dealing with a lot of things right now, and without going into detail I hope you will just lift him up in your prayers.

Well that's it for now. I leave you with this verse: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12

Happy Friday!
