Birthday-Visitor-Radooga
Well once again I have failed to blog in a timely matter. I have been so busy lately that I just haven't had the time to do it. I don't know where to begin but I will just tell you what has been going on lately and they may or may not be in cronological order. Well since my last post I had a birthday. (don't feel any older though) My mom took me to lunch at my favorite Mexican food restaurant and Megan made me a cake! I had gotten up early that day so I was really tired and fell asleep right after dinner and didn't even eat any of it. I felt really bad, but being the kind and usually understanding daughter Megan didn't mind because that next day we had a special visitor to help us eat the cake. Josh came in the little red truck and brought watermelon! After a short visit he and my four girls all went off to the neighborhood pool and spent most of the day there until their eyes couldn't take the chlorine anymore. Yeah Thursday is not a good day for your eyes at the pool because Wednesday they close the pool to clean it and so everything is really strong on Thursday. So they all came back with red eyes and red cheeks to match. They got a little pinkish from the sun but not enough to keep them from going back the next day! Anyway Josh was the big hit with everyone. All the kids at the pool are still asking the girls when will he be back! He finally got to meet my husband too! It was just a fun couple of days when he came and we all hope to do it again soon! But from what I hear the little red truck might not be coming back. :( Well we promise to try to love the new car/truck? too! :)
I got some good presents for my b-day. One was a really neat family tree chart that looks like old parchment type paper to fill in and then frame. It's really big and would look great on the wall. Also I got the new Hillsong CD called Hope! I love Hillsongs! I have been a fan of them from way back before everyone heard of them. The pastor of the church where we used to attend homeschool co-op had been to Australia and had been to the church and heard one of their live Worship services and was hooked! So he brought back lots of their CD's to sell at their little church store and I bought 2 and have loved them ever since! My mom got me a really cute Alice in Wonderland Mug and a shirt and some photo albums and a cookbook, My dad & stepmom gave me a really cool blanket/throw that had shells, clownfish & seahorses on it & also gave me some Bath & Bodyworks (Coconut Lime Verbena) Body Creme that smells so good. It reminds me of cocobutter or suntan lotion. My youngest sister gave me a W-Mart GC! I got lots of nice cards from my kids and other family. All in all I had a pretty good bday!
Well it is just one more day when Alicia goes off to the Ukraine on her mission trip! The plane leaves here at 6:50 AM and she goes to Dallas first then to JFK airport in New York! Then she will meet up with the rest of the group that are going and then she boards a different airline for her long journey to the Ukraine! She finally got all her lesson plans finished and she has packed and repacked 10 times already. Her bags are the exact weight they are supposed to be (under 50 lbs.) so that is good. She will really be missed while she is gone, but I know she will be in our Heavenly Father's hands sharing His Word with some youth of whom many don't know Him at all! So keep Alicia,Kim,Amber, and the rest of the American team in your prayers as they journey to the Ukraine to share His Good News!!! Also keep the Ukrainian youth in your prayers as they have little knowledge of God (due to 70 years of communist atheistic teachings). If you want to know specific daily prayer requests, Alicia has it up on her blog Well, I think I better post this thing before someone else calls to talk to Alicia. I keep having to sign off and let her use the phone! The beauty of Dial-up aye? Anywho - I will keep yall posted while she is gone or don't for get to check out the Radooga site for updates! Blessings to all, Larlie!
