Family and Friends

July is going to be a very busy month.  We had a great time with Scott and Lori watch the big fireworks production in Amarillo.  It’s nice when you can just sit back and watch for free with no mess and no clean up.  I highly recommend it for all those in the Panhandle.

We headed out Thursday on a little vacation to Kansas City to visit Kim’s Mom and Dad and see some friends while we are here.  we found out last Sunday night that the family that was going to take Zach (my little puppy) was not able to take him.  I was relieved because I really didn’t want to give him up.  So, we got to find out he does on long car rides.  He was right at home slept most of the way and went poddy in the grass just like he was supposed to.  Anywho!  I was so excited just to get to KC and rest, literally.  We have been so busy with the move from the apartment and the selling of the house that Kim and I were exhausted.  The trip on Thursday was easy.  We have made that trip so many times that we can knock down 8 hours like it was nothing.  This was the first time all the family traveled in new Acadia, and it was so comfortable and smooth: it made the trip very easy. 

We spent all day Friday just chilling out and resting napping until the evening when we were going to meet up with some old friends of ours: John, Kellie, and Kathryn Whitwood.  We first met John and Kellie through the discipleship process at Graceway.  We were there mentors and watch them grow in there spiritual walk with the Lord.  They have been walking with us ever since.  They have been cheering us on the entire time we have been in Borger, knowing that it was a call of God for us to go and share with Borger what had been done to them.  They were excited to here of the new changes that are coming to us, so we found ourselves at Chilies recounting all the blessing and miracles that God has done to get us to this point and decision.  We also have daughters the same age both about to graduate from High School, so that made for some interesting conversation as well.  You know we parents have to stick together!!  It is amazing, awesome, and frighting to watch the girls grow up, but I must say how proud I am of them as I watch them both turn into spiritual young women that put Jesus at the top of all they do.

It is the start of a brand new day, and Zach is begging me for a walk.
