Rover's Gone!

As we arrived home tonight a sadness filled the air. Rover, the dog who was on our front door step Monday Morning was now gone. I think we had all warmed up to taking care of the dog who made his way or was dropped off at our house. He was an old Bassett Hound who acted like he had been abused. We started to like having him around. Eli had even decided to feed him when we got home tonight. Ellie was upset but I don't think nearly as sad as we were. Maybe he will return or maybe he found his home. Hopefully he found his home and someone is happy to have him back.

Happy Anniversary, Eli!

Yesterday was our Anniversary. It has been six years. It doesn't seem that long and yet it seems like we have been together forever. I didn't have any wedding pics on my computer so I posted this picture. It was taken a month before we got married.

Storms and Fear

I am often afraid of storms. It is one of my many fears. I know a 32 yr. old should not be afraid of things but I am. Eli thinks I am silly for being afraid. I am not sure why I am afraid of storms but I am. Maybe it is something that has been instilled in me. Durning my childhood everytime it stormed we had to turn off the tv and unplug it from the wall and unplug the cable. We were not allowed to take a shower or bath or even use the toliet durning a storm. We were not allowed to play on the floorwe had to sit up on the couch off the floor. We were not allowed to use the telephone earlier. So maybe my upbringing has given me this fear, i dunno. Hopefully I will be able to keep my fear hidden from Ellie so she does not grow up with the one of the same fears as me.

Ellie is 3

Wow, it's really been 3 years. I miss Ellie as a baby but I am enjoying who she is becoming. She is so much fun. Her imagination is wild and I love it. She is such a beautiful little girl. She is so loving, comforting, compassionate and creative. I can only imagine what our future holds with Ellie

Songs

Do you have any songs that make you cry everytime you hear them?
I do and they are:
1. Somewhere Over the Rainbow
2. Victory in Jesus
3. How great is our God
4. All I Can Say
5. The way you look tonight

If you do, what are they? I am curious.

This was cool.

Vacation?

I am not sure I call last week vacation. I think Silas' face says it all. It was far from stress free and actually was filled with more stress than if we had just stayed home and worked all week. I loved seeing Eli's family. We got there at 1AM on Monday night and by Wednesday afternoon I was thinking "can we just go home?" It was so good to spend time with Eli's grandparents and Aunt Melva. I like them a lot. But I must say I think everyone was stressed. It's good to be home to a real bed and back to normal but I miss Melva. I think we deserve another Vacation.
