March to June 2008

Hello Everyone,
I thought it was time to give a little update. We are doing ok.
David's was recomended for an assistant manager position at another Winn-Dixie store! He is going to look into it but the answers to his questions have to be right for him to take it so pray for him on it. I am proud of him and have no doubt that he could do the job well. He will also be leading a class at our church's Vacation Bible School in a few days. He is doing well with his seminary studies and is taking every opportunity he can to study and is learning quite a lot. I am glad it's him and not me taking the courses, just listening to the questions hurts my brain lol. He had the opportunity to preach the other day and I videotaped it. He watched it and said oh wow, do I sound that bad? It's so funny, he didn't realize he picked up the accent of the people in this area of Louisiana.
I'm doing fine. I've been melancholy a lot lately, having lots of mommy moments, plus my hot flashes have started up again. I didn't miss them at all. The "short vacations in the tropics" come about every 45 minutes UGH! My future son-in-law will probably think that's funny. I've been trying to take off these stubborn pounds and spending time swimming in between my everyday "taxi-ing" and other stuff. I hope that my hard work will pay off. If not, maybe I'll have a killer tan.
Heather is still working at Gem's drug store and seems to enjoy it. She is buying her own car and loving her independence. She spends a lot of time missing her David. He's in Afghanistan now and we hope to see him back home soon. We miss him too. Please keep him and his company in your prayers. Heather went on a drive the other day and got lost. She called her dad trying to find out how to get back home, but he didn't know. I'm happy to say she figured it out. I laughed and told her it was another chapter in the "everyday adventures of Heather". LOL we could write a book. She's a character.
Tiffany is working now at Gem's drug store. She works at the one closest to home while Heather works at the other store. That's good for me as right now I am her transportation back and forth until her car is on the road and she gets her driver's license. She is taking her GED as well and seems to be doing pretty well. I'm proud of her. She goes to GED during her lunch hour from work. Her boyfriend, Chris gave her a promise ring in March. I was excited for her. Chris just graduated from high school and is working for a landscaping company. He plans to join the military after the summer is over.
Rochelle is doing well. She has been working on her portrait drawings. She loves to draw and they are really good. One day when I have more time I will post the pics of some of her drawings. She is working on a crocheted table cloth for me. I am looking forward to having it on my kitchen table it is coming out nice.
Our church's pastor has resigned and we are looking for another one. We miss him so much but his health has gotten really bad. He's gone back home to Alabama. Please be prayerful for him and his wife Betty, and our church as we search for a new pastor.
My dad will be having cataract surgery June 10th and then again on July 15th. Please remember him in your prayers. He has never had surgery before and he's a little worried.
Well, I will have to cut this short for now. I will post pictures and write more later. I have to run I forgot we were decorating the church for vacation Bible school and my friend just called. Take care and God bless you all.
