Whoohooooo!!!

(Of course, that title was said in the most lady-like fashion.)

Tyler took his final on Tuesday… he's so totally done with college!!!

Hopefully I won't wear out the exclamation point on this keyboard, but I'm awfully happy for him.  What an accomplishment to get a Bachelors of Arts in History at 19.  

Thank you, God!  And, good job, Tyler!

Emma and Elizabeth

Anna takes pretty good pictures; doesn't she?!

Praise!

This beautiful Toyota 4Runner is the Lord's answer to prayer!  God provided it for Tyler on Saturday, and he is quite happy as you can see in the picture.  So am I because, once again, the Lord has shown Himself faithful and good and able to do beyond what we ask or think. ;)

Thank you all for your prayers.

Prayer Request

Tyler and I (and our families) are praying that he will soon be able to purchase a vehicle: specifically, an automatic Toyota 4Runner, in good shape, and within his price range.  I have also been praying that the Lord will give him wisdom when he looks at a vehicle (there are so many variables), and for patience in waiting for God's will.  If the Lord lays his need on your heart, your prayers would be very much appreciated!

Vote! Vote!

If you've read my book, you might be interested in the poll that is on the website right now.  In the sidebar, you can vote for your favorite chapter. You might consider subscribing to the feed by email, so you will receive the announcement about which chapter wins.  Just thought I would let everybody know.  I would love to have your opinion!

Some Christmas Pictures

A couple notes:
Aimee made two gorgeous cedar wreaths... see them on our porch in the family picture. And, in case it’s hard to figure out what I’m holding to my ear: it’s a long sparkly Christmas ornament that would make an outrageous earring! ;)
