WE GOT OUR HOUSE....FINALLY!!!!!!


I am so excited right now, as of yesterday evening we are officially home owners! This house has been a long time coming. It was listed in January of this year but not until April 28Th did we place our offer...now after almost 6 months (thanks to it being a "short sale"), it's ours!:) God has blessed us tremendously & we are so thankful. Owning a house like this was so far away in my dreams & yet it's happening now. There are such great benefits in life when you are in the will of God! I want to say a big thank you to all who have kept us in your prayers during this time, Thank You!!!

SIS Conference (Safety In Sisterhood)



~I was privileged for the first time this year to attend SIS Conference. Summer, my sister Erica & I got to go together & what a blast! It was held at Stephanie Parkey's church in Tulare & they did such a tremendous job hosting. The decorations were fabulous along w/ the food! What an incredible meeting to be so refreshed & have such a good time all in one! I personally had never heard Cindy Miller speak & WOW, was it all so good!
The theme was "Chocolate & Friendship" & I thought I'd never want to eat chocolate again, but my sweet husband had a little note beside my bed when I got home saying "I missed you, look under your pillow". Under my pillow was my very own personal box of Pecan Buds from See's candy, my favorite! I found out very quickly that I could eat chocolate again!:)
Look forward to next years SIS Conference already. I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to the ladies who put this meeting together, what a blessing!

Church Work Night







For the past 3 saturdays we have had work nights up at the church. We are so excited that we are getting our very own sanctuary. As you can see in the pictures there is quite a bit of work to do, but we are up for the task!:) This room was a theatre so we have one of the Marx Brothers who was smoking a cigar & Laurel & Hardy Soundboards glued & screwed into the wall.lol Getting them down has been quite a chore!:) We are completely retexturing the walls to then repaint. By next friday we will be ready to paint...yeah! Just a little update on what is happening in Vacaville, God has been so good!
