I have been very bad!

Please forgive me for not posting an update in June or July. I guess time just got away from me.

June was a great month. We went back to Texas for a visit and to attend Reese Massey and Melanie Taylor's wedding. It was so special for us to be a part of that. We have known Reese since he was born. We loved getting to see all of our Texas friends and the wedding gave us the opportunity to see many of them.

I think people think I am strange when I tell them how refreshing it is to see our old friends. We love Colorado and are building great relationships here but it's really hard to describe the blessing that it is to be around those people who know the good and the bad about us and still choose to love us. Miss you all!

I have no idea where July went. We did have some visitors, the Hamilton's and then the Dahlke's. It was fun to spend time with each of them and show them around when we could. Their visits were of course too short. You too are welcome to visit. I know I say this every time and if you don't believe me then just ask someone who has been here. We even just moved to a much larger home just so that we could accomodate you. Let us know when your coming and we will put it on our calendar. The fall is beautiful here. (hint, hint)

August brings us Ben's birthday. On the 6th he turned 18 so we bought him a ticket to go and see Reese and Melanie in Georgia. We couldn't stand all the sappy goings on about Reese and Ben missing each other anymore. Not really, but we know what it's like to miss your best friend. He returns on Wednesday night. You could pray that he finds a job. He has been looking for two months but nothing yet. Pray we are grateful for God's timing which we know will be perfect.

Well, I don't know much else so I won't keep you. I am praying that God will bless each and everyone of you. Thank you so much for your comments they are very encouraging.

Don't forget...

We will leave the light on for you,
Karen
