Mid-Quarter Stress Fest

My job is almost like college...the middle of the semester all the tests and projects are due before the break...the heat is on to make a Monday deadline and its like pulling a semi-truck with your pinky across the line. I can't complain because this quarter (so far) has definitely been a lot easier than the last. But I have definitely had to remind myself of the Blessed Assurance...to sing HIS praises...and that eventually I will accomplish all my personal wishes and of course those professional ones that help bring home the bacon. That life will balance out and God is my story not this earthly schedule...I just have to be patient.

This hymn brings back so many childhood memories..and I sing it with my whole heart everytime I hear it now...

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, all is at rest!
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with his goodness, lost in His love.

Busy Weekend

It's been a busy weekend....

Our nephew Dayne celebrated his 3rd birthday on Friday. From all the reports from the Good Life City...he had a big time at his pawdy at Putt-Putt...can't wait to get home to see him!




And Daddy celebrated his on Saturday...along with starting a new job! Hopefully this is an answer to many prayers...a job a little less hard core and a little more golf action :)


And hopefully one of our kids will get the curls. And then Saturday evening we had the pleasure of celebrating with Bryan and Paige at their beautiful wedding...we had a lot of fun dancing the night away.

The guys....hanging out during the cocktail hour...




The beautiful bride and groom...







And just when you thought I was finished with pictures...the Maxfields' are here for a quick visit...I miss them loads and was so excited to get to spend the afternoon with two of my favorite ladies shopping while Matt and Aaron had fun at the pool.
