We are off to Illinois!

Daniel and I are off to see my family and his Grandparents! We will take plenty of pictures and post them when we get back from our trip!

Also, Daniel's job is being relocated to Memphis, Tennessee. We plan on moving somewhere between July 20th and 23rd! Please keep us in your prayers while we are transitioning to another state!

Our Saturday!

Daniel and I decided to go to Waco this weekend and tour Homestead Heritage. While we were there, Daniel met up with some friends from his childhood from when his family lived there on the weekends. We received a personal tour of not only what the vistors see, but, where the people live and what they do during the day. You can see in some of the pictures below that they were busy harvesting wheat (with a John Deere!!). We started very early and arrived home late! It was a wonderful day!

The only bad thing is that we both figured out just how much I can really do! In other words, I think I over did it. Both of us were a little disappointed that we could not make it to church today, since I was not feeling too well! So, instead of driving an hour and a half, Daniel decided we should stay home and listen to one of my Dad's sermons! And that is what we did.

Life

Ah, were does the time go??

I am doing great! The surgery went well, and my recovery was very fast(which most people say is unusual!). I am enjoying walking around and being able to clean the house and drive the car!! :-)

Daniel and I are doing well. Daniel's job is getting finished and the structures they are building are looking more and more like buildings every day!

We went to stay with Daniel's family on Memorial Day and had an enjoyable time. We will be seeing them next week and will hopefully be able to ride some horses!!

As from what I gather from my family they are doing well! I am really looking forward to seeing them in FOUR weeks!! I miss them so much!

Well, that is all I can think of right now and Daniel just called and said he is on his way home for lunch. So, I will close for now!

Oh, Mrs. Henderson, I am so sorry I missed your call!! I wanted so much to talk to you and when I heard your message, I was upset with myself! I was available (Daniel and I were just playing cards), but when the phone said it had no number, I did not pick it up! The last time I answered a no number call, it was a really weird person! Sorry!

Blessings to all!

Surgery!

Please be in prayer for Christa. She goes into a Laperscopy Surgery tomorrow at 1 pm. This blog will be updated when she is out and feeling better.

New Car!!

Daniel and I have bought a new car!! It is a Toyota Prius Hybrid 2007!!

The sun has finally been shining and the days have been beautiful - until about three o'clock this morning! We had a thunder stom with very fast winds. I thought the wind was going to break our windows! Thankfully, the only thing that was damaged on our property was the post that holds our house number fell down (and that holds a corner of the roof). We also found a leak in our kitchen ceiling next to our front door! But, if you go outside you will see that the storm did some damage to our neighbors! Below are some pictures from the storm.

As for the life of Daniel and Christa, we are doing pretty well and staying busy! We have found that we have to move out of our duplex by the 27th of July! Where are we moving next? Well, it is not totally certain, but it looks like it will be Dallas.

We spent Daniel's birthday in Dallas house hunting and spending time with his family! Daniel has entered the world of 24!! :-) And, he says he already feels pretty old!

This past weekend we spent our time with Wesley and Rachel Hurd, Katy, Zach,, and most of the Franklin family! We had a wonderful time at the Psalm sing, seeing old friends and singing! Later that evening we attended a ball with them, and Daniel had an enjoyable time at his first ball!

Daniel is on his way home for lunch, so I need to go get it started so he can eat! Blessings!

Today is William Alexander McDonald's 2nd Birthday!!

It is strange to think that little man is two today! I miss his laugh, his cuddles, his cry, his noises, and just him!! I pray he has a wonderful birthday!

Saturday, I had an enjoyable time making two cakes for our Church. The first cake was for a young boy's birthday, and the second was a baptism cake.

One set of Curtains Finished, Three More To Go!

Snakes!!

Daniel and I have lately enjoyed going bike riding together in the evenings after dinner. We find a park( there are so many trail rides here!), and will be gone for awhile.

Last night Daniel find a longer one, and I looked at it and said,"Lets Go!". On our way there, I pulled out the paper, and found at the very bottom, in smalll, very small print, that it said,"Watch out for snakes" SNAKES!! I really thought about changing my mind until we got there, and than I did not want to leave. Everything looked so beautiful, and so I thought myself, " How many times have you seen snakes in the woods?".

We are riding along, enjoying the view( I am still being very cautious of snakes), when Daniel shouts," I almost ran over one!'! My reaction" Where, Where, Where is it Daniel and keep it away from me!" From then on, I was being REALLY cautious.

I did not see another until our way back. It was on Daniel's side again( I am glad for that, no telling what I would do if it where on my side!), but this time Daniel got off his bike( and asked me to get off mine too), and slowly walked up to this snake( Don't worry Daniel gave the snake his space). He told me to come look at it, I was shocked he would ask that of me! I slowly started to walk up to Daniel. At first I could not see the snake. ( NOTE: If you grew up in my family you would know how I looked at it. I did the same thing I would do with heights!) Not be close, but stand on my toes, and I saw the snake. What did I do? Quickly ran back to my bike got on it, and said I was ready to go!

It took awhile for me to get over the snake! It was so ugly!

Well, now I need to go. I have curtains that need finishing!

Just an Update

Well I'd suppose some thought I'd never post on this blog again. I'm sorry to say "your wrong". I enjoy allowing others to keep up with the day to day activites, but that said I can't keep up with the time. The only reason I'm posting right now is because Christa told me "since you have a free second you should post something on the blog.". So that said, here is an update.
My life right now is fairly boring (in some ways). I'm trying to complete the two projects that I'm working on. Actually took Christa to work on Saturday. On a side note, happy be-lated birthdays to my mother, sister Kelly, sister Faith, and my sister-in-law Grace. Sorry this is so late.

Cake Decorating!

This past weekend I had an enjoyable time learning how to decorate a cake( Yes, I know that the letters on the cake are not centered! I am still working on that part! :-) )!

Just Keeping Busy

This past Saturday, Daniel and I enjoyed putting a garden in our backyard. It feels so good to garden again!

Daniel is doing well at work and staying busy. It is neat to see all the work that his does and watch the buildings go up! They say that one building will be done the end of May, and the other one in August, but it looks as though we might be here a little longer than planned!

I am doing well and keeping busy with decorating and cleaning our home. Now that we are unpacked, I can get to the serious cleaning. Today, I have spent my time on my hands and knees scrubing our kitchen floor. After mopping it several times, it would still be sticky and look dirty. As I cleaned up a water spill, I found that our floor has glue on it! No wonder it always looked dirty! Below are some pictures of our tiny garden and the kitchen floor( The dark parts of the floor is the glue and the dirty it was collecting. The last picture is the finished product.).

Our New Home!

Here are some pictures of our move and our new home. I will be taking more and will put those up soon!
