We're back!

We're happy to be back home! We had a crazy but great time in MT (pictures and details to follow, some day). Those of you who know me well know that I'm not too good at making phone calls, but I do pick up the phone if rings! Please call and fill me in on your lives!!

Funny link

For what it's worth (and that's not much), I found this little article for gee-wiz. It's about how your high school experience may have affected your career. See if it rings true for you here.

According to the surveys they took, having been a cheerleader I should be a very happy in my corporate vice president role. Sounds like it worked for me!
have a great weekend.

A few more pics

We are headed to MT for a week (two for us girls). I just wanted to post a few more pictures before we go. I had to show you Dessa's new favorite pass-time; wearing everybody's shoes on her hands. She does it all the time! Pretty funny. Bob's job is going well, he really enjoys it. Still hoping he gets hired in August, we'll see. He was explaining his job to the kids and told them he works as a secretary. Ella said, "A SUCKERTARY! Will you bring us suckers?" Lily said, "That's a pretty silly job, Dad." We have a nice little blackberry patch in our back yard, which the girls love to harvest. Summer is good!

A time to buy, a time to sell...

...and a time to thank the Lord you can afford the house you're in. We've taken our house off the market, due to a lot of changes in economy and circumstance since we listed. Plus, we're tired living like we don't live here. We think now will be a good time to work on saving and reducing debt rather than increasing debt whilst everything else increases in price. So anyway, another season in life over with. We are excited to live our days and organize our work according to our family needs rather than focusing on selling the house. We're sorry to miss out on that great house we were looking at, but we really weren't getting very far with selling our house any way. Perhaps this is God's way of keeping us from getting in too deep. At least listing the house has helped us get some work done and much needed organization, so we're thankful for that. Now it almost feels like buying the house all over again--I can re-arrange and make things work for us in new ways.
Dessa is getting tooth #3, top front as well as taking her first solo steps. Exciting times!
