Waiting...

I'm getting anxious to be on my way! My plane leaves tomorrow for the west and I'm very excited about that.

A little over a week with Mom and Dad...
a little over a week in the mountains...
a little over a week in the cooler weather...
a little over a week from the daily monotony of the office!
Plus I'll be adding 4 new states to my repertoire!

Some of you may have noticed a few new things on the sidebar. Something I'd been wanting to do but just am not 'puter savvy enough to have figured out - thanks a million, Daniel, for your time and talents! He spent a couple hours on Saturday at the house helping me with this and a few other computer-related things I needed help with. Anyway, one of the things I've added here are a few links, and I invite you to try them out when you get some time and have nothing better to do with it :o)

Lots of things going on... Last Friday night we went to the DCI show and as always it was worth the price! We are already looking forward to going again next year and actually getting our tickets all together so we can sit together! I was sad that I wasn't able to take Ethan, though, we'll try again next year and see what happens. Saturday I worked all day in the sewing room and by the end of August I'll have taken pictures of the finished project and will be able to share with you what I've been working on... stay tuned, you'll love it! I'm still behind on baby afghans, but I'll get caught up eventually. Speaking of babies, Maggie is now approaching 6 lbs and is working on the last hurdle of being able to eat completely on her own and then she'll be able to go home! Praise God for keeping her well and healthy throughout this difficult start to her life - she's doing fantastic!

I've also been doing alot of serious reading, studying, contemplating, praying and growing lately. I can't say every step has been "fun", but I'm thankful He thinks so much of me that He grows me and stretches me toward the woman He's called me to be. If you want to read more bits of that, you can read some of my entries over at Simple Walk.

I'm sure I'll have more next week - I'll have to report in on all the stuff I'm getting to enjoy. Until then...
