One more week

Holy cow!!!! We are leaving one week from today......ok trying not to freak out!!!!! Time has gone so fast. It is getting really hard to say goodbye to everyone. Plus my house needs some major packing done. Monday I'm taking the girls to Gary and Cheryl's and Clarissa is coming over and we are going to get down to business. I talked to my mom-mom today and she said they would like to come over too and help pack away the dishes and things. I'm not going to pass up help.

Tonight is our going away party. Plus Dan is getting his tattoo today! :O Yikes!
Sunday is the commissioning at church. Monday packing. Tuesday work. Wednesday closing on the house. Thursday loading the U-Haul. Friday taking off!

Please Please we need everyone to pray that we sell the tractor and truck!!! I think we will make it if we don't but things would be so much easier with them out of the way.

I'm 30!!

Well Sunday was my 30th birthday! Dan threw me a birthday party, which was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out about it! It was fun though and the weather held up. It was at Glen Maust's pavilion and the kids all had a blast swimming. I wanted to post some picture, but for some reason it won't let me. grrrrrr. It will be great when we get to Kansas and we finally have highspeed.

This weekend we are going to see Dan's family in New York. They live in the catskill mountains now and I've never been to this Bruderhof, but Dan lived there for a couple of years!! So I'm very excited. I'm sure it's beautiful there. So we are leaving tommorrow morning and coming home Monday, but when Dan talked to his dad this morning he told him that a good friend of Dan's would like it if we stopped in to see them on our way home. This guy was a mentor to Dan in high school and I'm sure was thrilled when he heard this. They live in Harlem doing mission work so that will be a interesting trip! So please pray for us as we travel this weekend!

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

It's raining! :( Today is supposed to filled with all sorts of fun OUTSIDE! I'm praying it will stop really soon. First up on the list today is the Accident parade, then we are going to pop-pop's for a picnic, then at 6:30 we are going to Nate and Jackie's for a MYF cookout and then we are supposed to watch fireworks.

Last night we picked Maddie up at Laurelville. She had such a great week. She said that she wasn't homesick at all, but that the other girls in her cabin cryed almost every night and that it got annoying :)

One more month

errrrr.....I'm so annoyed. I tried posting yesterday and after I had it all typed up I lost it. So I'll give you the highlights anyway.

Friday night we went to the Grantsville Days Parade and fireworks. In between we went to Doug and Tammy's where they were having their annual grantsville days bash.

Sunday we had the Maust reunion for lunch and then we took Madisyn to Laurelville. She was so excited and this was her first year where she was there all week. We are actually picking her up a day early due to the fourth of July, so we are driving up tommorrow night to get her.

We will be heading out of here one month from yesterday! I can't believe how fast time is flying! It will be here before we know it....how scary is that?!? I've gotten a few boxes packed and will continue to get some done little by little, but soon I'm really going to have to get going.
