Update

Here it is already almost the end of May and I once again have gone a long time with out posting... Here are some highlights from the last couple months.

• In April we went to Kansas for a couple days. My good friends K & S from Phoenix were there to pick up my friend A and take her back to AZ so I got to spend the day Saturday in Wichita with them! We went shopping, went for lunch and spent a good while in a neat little coffee and chocolate shop we found! Was almost like the "old" days when we would go shopping etc. together! Definitely a highlight! Also enjoyed our time spent with S & Lil for night and breakfast!
• My Dad & Mom were here from May 8 - 13! We had a really relaxing, fun time with them. This is the third Mother's Day in a row I have got to spend with my Mom and I feel very privileged!! Spent a day in  Springfield (MO) touring a cave, going to a botanical gardens and eating at Lambert's! One day Mom and me went to town and she helped me pick out all the flowers for my pots. Then she helped me get them planted up! Was a lot of fun and also much appreciated because I am kind of lost when it comes to plants... They are looking really good so far, Mom!
• Last week it was FINALLY dry enough to get in the fields so Hubs ( and all the farmers ) was very busy... He was gone from early til late... It is a little something for me to get adjusted to this life style now tho! They got the corn all in by Saturday afternoon! Just in time to come to the school play day supper!
• This coming Friday til Sunday we have a Yost family reunion in KS. We were at one 2 years ago so will be interesting to see what this one is like now.
• This week I have mostly been trying to get a dress finished up for this reunion. Besides the normal laundry, some baking and some cleaning.

I am sure you all are busy too as summer always seems to be that way! :) I always enjoy summer tho and am glad it is finally here after our late spring! Happy Summer to you all!!

Cincinnati Bound

This morning we pulled out a little after 6... We are going to Cincinnati with Uncle J's an their family! There is a farm meeting Hubby an Uncle J are wanting to go to on Friday an since it is spring break we all are making a fun little trip out of it! I think there is a couple museums, some shopping an relaxing at the motel on the agenda...Then heading, home on Saturday.Looking forward to a relaxing time!

A Snow Day

It has been snowing off and on since yesterday afternoon!! We have got about 9 inches!!Everything is beautiful now that the white snow has covered all the brown dirt. So today we relaxed at home! And I allowed myself to be kind of lazy! We don't get many of these kind of days so we have to take advantage of them!:) A few loads of laundry got done, meals made and the puppy played with and that is about all! So u see how it was a lazy day!! It's so cozy tho! This evening I am sitting here in my pj's and blogging / reading and drinking Chocolaty Chai Tea! Why don't you come on down! I would make you a hot drink too...

A Puppy Named Lexus

Friday we drove 2 hours to go get ourselves a puppy!! Her name is Lexus and she is a 6 week old rottweiler/lab cross.. She is quite  tiny still and definitely a baby!! She is going to be a definite outside dog tho! However for right now when she is small we have her in a pen in the garage.. She did quite a bit of crying at first... but she has settled way down already! So we are in for the joys of a chewing puppy an all the training that goes with! She sure is cute tho! :) And looks just like a rottie!!

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to you all!! Did you do something special today?:)

Family Time

Tuesday  we went and met my Dad & Mom and K & J in St. Louis!! Their main destination is Ann Arbor to see S but they have been doing some other fun sight seeing on the way! We left here early morning and got to spend all morning with them at their motel! Went and had a quick lunch with them at Cracker Barrel yet before we both went our separate ways! Was short but so much fun!! Mom an me tried to get as much as possible said in a short amount of time!=)

Because He Lives...

Because He lives I can face tomorrow...
Because He lives all fear is gone...
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!!
 
   This song has been special to me this morning... That even if I fall time and time again God still loves me so very much... And I can have a happy day instead of feeling so down from falling again! And it is all Because He Lives!!!
