These are the only pictures on my camera. We've been pretty busy, and we've been having fun. Last week Lindsey (my middle brother's wife) came to stay with us and watch our kids while Jay and I went to a worship conference. The kids had a blast with her, and Jay and I had fun getting to stay up late and chat with family. We miss family. :(
The worship conference was so great for Jay. He learned a lot and enjoyed getting to know some of the other ministers in our denomination, the AMIA (Anglican Mission in America). The AMIA is small and really is like a fun family. Seriously, it was fun.
The conference was also great for me. I made the 3 days a time to really get to spend with God. I read in my room and by the pool, worked out, and ate sushi. Haha. No, really, it was a very great time for me spiritually. But that's a whole other blog.
The boys start VBS tomorrow at a local church (not ours). I hope that they like it because I think it's going to be good for them to spend some time away for the week. I let you all know how that goes. :)
Jay starts IWS this Wednesday. We'll have two house guests (also IWS students) staying with us starting on Tuesday. Ray has always been Jay's roommate, and another friend of Jay's, Justin will be staying with us. The boys are pumped about sleeping on their cots. They would sleep on them every night if we would let them.
We will close on our house sometime at the end of June. We're hoping that we close before the 30th so that we can get some work done before we travel back to Texas on the 1st of July. Then we come back, finish up on the house, and move.
So, nothing too interesting to read about in our lives...I just pretty much wrote this all down so that I don't forget. :)
OH, WAIT!!! I also got a new camera. I upgraded to a Nikon D80. I don't know how to use it, but it looks fancy shmancy.
