Times are Changing

It's interesting to see that God still has plans for you even after you get old like me! Here we are going along in our life...it's fairly nice...and then everything hits. Josh and Kim's baby came eight weeks early. That was crazy. She went in for a normal check up and they admitted her and a week later Damien entered the world. He's amazing and precious. He's doing great. He's making faster progress than they predicted. Even the nurses are amazed. Hopefully he will keep up the good work and come home early. So while we are waiting for this baby, Jim gets a phone call and is offered a better job in Utah. It's with the Air National Guard as a civillian. So we pray about it and find out it is the right thing for us at this time. Of course while all this is happening, it's also time for finals with my 2 online Summer classes. Lets throw some outpatient surgery in there with 11 stitches. Did I forget that I also needed to give a talk in Church that Sunday? Don't forget about Jake's air conditioner for his car needing a new compressor. Dad came through on that. There were a few other things, but didn't want to get too long winded. It's almost ridiculous. And wonderful. I am sure it will all come out right in the wash. Don't know where we'll be in 2 months, but I am sure the Lord does...thank goodness!

Off on the new adventure!

Joanna is off to Utah and then on to Idaho for school. She is sooo excited! Moving out...What fun! She is staying at Jessica's for a little bit. Getting to visit everyone there. We miss her here in Arkansas but are very happy for her.

Empty Nest?

Well, Joanna is officially leaving on the 17th of June. We're tying up all the loose ends; orthodonists, doctor appts, school, quitting her job, packing all her stuff...it's exciting and sad all at the same time. She will be staying with Jessica for a few months and then moving up to Idaho to go to college. She's very excited and we are...happy and sad at the same time! Jacob is preparing to go into the air force so he and Emily are working on that. There goes another one far away! Lots of changes, I am sure for the best. It is wonderful to know the Lord will be watching over each one of them and having facebook and the internet helps keep the world smaller!
