Prayer request!
We have a very special request! We just recently learned that our former pastor's wife out in South Carolina was just diagnosed with colon cancer. She just found out last Friday and has already had surgery to remove it 3 days ago. They do know that it has already spread to her lungs, but are waiting on the results from a needle biopsy to see the prognosis there. They have three children and one is still in high school. She is such a strong woman and has such a wonderful testimony with her life. She has just recently helped her sister go through breast and lung cancer and all the treatments that followed. She is still cheery as usual, but very weak. Yet she always thinks of others that are worse off and knows that God is in control! Please pray for her healing, her family, and the doctors to know exactly what to do for her! I will keep you updated as I know more!
The Sun City
We have been out here in El Paso for over 8 months now and are beginning to get settled in. We are a little cramped in a much smaller house, but we are together and that is all that matters. It is pretty out here, but definitely different from South Carolina. We have been to the yearly air show on Ft. Bliss already and the girls, as well as Greg, enjoyed getting to see all the military planes, tanks, and missile launchers. We have been doing lots of hiking and rock climbing. We have explored Hueco Tanks State Park twice now and bought a park pass so we can go back many more times this year. We can't wait to see all the plants and cactuses bloom next spring. They say the bottom side of the mountains we are near, the Franklin Mountains, are covered with Mexican Poppies in the spring.
We have had some new additions to our family since we moved. I know what you are thinking and no we really didn't need more mouths to feed. We bought a full blooded German Shepherd female puppy named Sascha. She is 4 months old now and weighs about 40 pounds already. Hannah went to the bank with me one day and found a stray cat that came home with us. I am a softy and couldn't give it away after seeing Hannah get so attached. Her name is Libby and she is still trying to figure out Goober. Lauren and Shelby also have a male beta, named Larry, in their room now. We told them we are maxed out on pets and will never be able to go on vacation again.
Our Story
Greg and I were married on April 17th, 2007. We had a whirl wind romance and knew without a doubt that God had blessed us with one another the day we met. We feel blessed to have been given a second chance at love and will always honor God for that by keeping him first in this marriage. We are very proud to have 7 children combined and have even considered adopting one of our own some day, if it is in God's plans. Our love for one another, the bond we share daily, and the overall way we feel towards each other continues to amaze us each day!
