Weekend

Well even though there has been a death in the family, we've had a pretty good weekend considering. Friday night we got home from work and was cleaning up fast as we had plans. The next thing we knew the grandma that lives underneath us was knocking at our door. Her husband had a heart attack the night before and she drove him to the hospital. Well she came back and locked herself out. So Andrew and I were doing everything we could to get her back in. This 90 year old woman said to us, "well I guess I could just stay outside until my son gets home"...we were like yeah not likely. Luckily Andrew found an open window in the bathroom so we were able to get her in lol. Then we went over to the pastor's house (the one Andrew is applying for) and had supper with him and his wife as well as the youth pastor and he wife. It was very nice and relaxing. I hadn't felt that comfortable in quite a while around a pastor. It really was awesome. He did his seminary at southwestern in Ft. Worth and she went to school at UNT...no wonder I liked them lol. They just really liked Andrew and are really pulling for him.

We spent all day yesterday at Andrew's parents' house as his all his sisters were in town for the oldest sister birthday. It was nice and relaxing! Then took Raider to the lake to swim for a little while and found 8 ticks on the both of us...it was ridiculous! Anyway, hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend and love y'all very much!!

Prayer

I ask you all to please pray for Andrew and his family as we have had a member pass away. Andrew's grandma who has been very ill for some time passed away late last night. It was Andrew's dad's mother. She is much better now and everyone realizes that but nonetheless it is still hard to say goodbye. Thank you all very much and love y'all!!!!!

Spring!

Wow okay I didn't realize it had been a while since I have last written. Well to start off, I can't explain how beautiful it is up here in the spring. I drive the same roads every day to and from work and it truly looks compeltely different...and I actually got lost for a second because it looked so differently! There's all shades of green (which we all know I hate that color lol), it's just so beautiful!

This past weekend Andrew's dad bought us our own flowers, soil, boxes for them and tomato plants! So I finally get to grow my own tomatoes! You have no idea how excited I am...Andrew hasn't figured that out yet lol.

Well Andrew taught Sunday school yesterday at the church he's been interviewing at. Then had a luncheon for us to get to know us. It ended up being a grilling session as one member decided to hit him with some hard core theological questions. It got so heavy that the preacher was like okay someone else can ask questions now. Nothing Andrew said was good enough for him. I felt really bad for him. I was like better you than me lol.

So we've been staying at my co-workers house the past couple of nights the one that has 17 dogs, 1 pig, 3 horses and a cat. It is so disgusting. We're like when can we stay at our place?!?!?!?

We just got back last week from the best vacation ever...I got to spend a couple of days with my family and nephew! It was perfect. I was like awww...the sun! Thank you!! It was an incredible trip though seriously. Okay I will talk to you soon, love you all so much!!

Still going...

Hey everyone, I just realized it's been a while since my last entry. I apologize for that. Well Andrew has had another interview. This time with the entire staff of 4! It's funny to us since we came from a church employeed with over 100! So it's the complete other extreme! It went really well. We just got a call yesterday informing us that the church wants him to come teach children's church in 2 weeks...but still no talk about a job offer yet. It's just a very long process!!

We had invisible fence installed and Raider has now had 2 sessions. He pretty much is acting as if we're torturing him. He is the biggest baby ever. The package we bought has 4 sessions from a trainer to teach him how to use it. And even the trainer is lauging at how big of a winnie he is lol! But it's going great!

Went to my co-worker's house this past weekend. We'll be house/dog/horse/pig sitting in 2 weeks so they wanted to show us around. This is the one that has 17 dogs. I'm like this is seriously nuts! So I'll feel like we'll be running some type of circus, lol.

So I was tortured myself yesterday. I was dragged to see X-Men...talk about pure boredom!! But whatever. We decided to invite my in-laws to it so we'll stay on their good side. Well I gotta run but hope to hear from y'all soon...I love you!!
