I apologize!!

Hi everyone! First I want to apologize that I have not kept my commitment of blogging once a week.
So much has happened that has kept me from sitting down in front of the computer.

During the month of April we spent several weeks out of town. (by the way I can't wait to share our pics).
And as you all know the terrible devastation that our state suffered through the tornadoes- we were completely safe and had no damage- however we did lose power and internet. We just got back our internet within the last 2 weeks but now we have discovered that my computer charger is broken and does not work! So, you think...."well drive to a coffee shop and use Wi-Fi"...and I probably could. But we are now sharing a car and it just hasn't worked out where I could go use internet...

So, know that we will be back just as soon as some of these kinks get worked out. We are still rejoicing even in the midst of frustrating circumstances. The biggest thing that has kept our perspective is watching our dear friend Brad Booth fight cancer. At the age of 26 he was diagnosed with Desmoplastic small round cell tumor ( an extremely rare and aggressive type of cancer). I encourage all of you to take 45 minutes of your life and PLEASE watch this video. It is Brad speaking a couple weeks ago at men's retreat. Have a box of kleenex and be ready to contemplate the meaning and purpose in YOUR own life.

Much love to you all!
