Phil 4:19

So we just got back from vacation which we have been saving for for over 6 months. We had a blast being with family and friends, eating out at our favorite restaurants, and basically doing whatever we wanted to do the whole time. Well, of course when we get home after we have just spent a lot of money traveling, something happens to the car which is going to be costly. I will spare you of the boring car details of which I do not understand because I am mechanically retarded BUT lets just say it was going to be a lot of money. We have the money but it was just going to be basically the bottom of our savings with the month long trip that we went on AND the car repair which of course would make any mother uncomfortable. THANKFULLY, Chris has a friend here who is pretty handy when it comes to car repair. All in all, it cost us a plate of spaghetti (which I cooked and made the sauce from scratch) and a couple of pieces of garlic toast. He fixed the car and its working perfectly and all we had to do was feed him lunch. Praise God for friends like this especially in times of need. God always provides!
It is so wonderful that we have the Biblical promise that God will provide all of our needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:19)
Much love and God bless!

Well our vacation home was so amazing! It was so nice to see family and friends that we have not seen in a while. I wish I would have been able to see everyone that we had hoped to see but of course life happens. Our trip was crazy but so much fun. We flew to Dallas and spent almost a week with my dad and grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was so nice being around family. We really miss out on the family stuff living so far away from everyone. After our trip to Dallas we went home for a few days to Lubbock and got to spend Chris' dad's birthday with him. We then went to Alamogordo to see my mother and bobby. My brother and sister in law , Gerianne then met us there and we drove to Colorado to our ranch in Vallecito Valley. It could not have been any more beautiful up there. My mother grew up there, i grew up there, and now i get to take my own children up there so they might have some of the same childhood experiences that I had. While we were in CO, we go to go eat dinner with my uncle, aunt, and cousins. It was so good to see them as well. After all of that traveling, we finally made it back to Lubbock to spend the last remaining 10 days of our trip there. We enjoyed being with family and friends and cant wait to move back home in a few years. It will be exciting when we no longer have to say goodbye to the ones that we love and and know that we wont get to see them again for at least a year. BUT the timing will be perfect to move home. We will both have completed our bachelors degrees and Chris might actually be finished with his masters by then, we will see. As much as I want to move home right now, it would be difficult considering we have no degree and really no set plan. By the time Chris' time in the military is up, we will be ready! Until then, our one visit home a year and skype will have to suffice. Well, this momma needs to go do some serious cleaning!
PS- we are starting the exciting adventure of potty training once again on Monday. Please pray that all goes well and that the transition is smooth. AND please also pray for my school which also starts back on Monday.
MUCH LOVE AND GOD BLESS!
