A New Day

Well, the bread didn't quite turn out. Oh, well. This is a new day. All the other days before were just practice for this one. I can try the bread again and I get to start everything else again today too. Praise God for new days! May I honor Him in all that I do. May I set an example for my kids. May I love those around me and see them the way God does. To have a Christ-like mindset, that is what I am striving for. Than is what I want to start fresh on each and every day.

Bread maker trial

Well, I have been studying all week and I have finally tried out my bread maker. Tim's mom gave me hers. They don't eat a lot of bread. I have been wanting to find a healthy bread that doesn't cost a fortune so I did some research, started with a basic recipe and jumped in. If I told you all that was in it, you'd laugh at me so we'll see if it works first then maybe I'll divulge my secrets! The best part is, all you have to do is throw all the stuff in the machine and let it go! I'll keep you posted.

Pics in MO

Here are some more picures we took in Missouri. We went to Bass Pro. That's where the bear came from.

Well, he's done it now...

Well, Tim finally did it. He quit his job at Caprock equiptment on Monday. He has the rest of this week and next week and then he is unemployed (or self-employed, depending on how you look at it). He already has a job lined up, building and installing some custom shelves for a friend at church. Our next step is to work on establishing a business. I'm excited for him. I've always thought that he was meant to have his own business. Working for other people just doesn't suit him. He's very good at woodworking and handymaning (is that a word?) and he has a great way of connecting with people. Keep us in your prayers as we launch off into this. We want our business to be Christ-centered. I know there will be challenges as we will have to make decisions together and manage our time differently. I am excited about the flexibility that we will have in our schedule now. I know that God will supply the jobs. May we be faithful to Him with our time and money.

He is still planning on starting school in the fall. He's not sure what major to choose, but I'm glad he is finally starting. He gave a lot to the Navy. It's nice to be gatting something back.

We are looking forward to seeing Tim's grandparents this weekend. We will post pictures soon.
