A Crazy Week

Hello
What a crazy week of spring break this has been. Some disappointments, but also some great opportunities and learning experiences. The week of spring break started out by Joe being gone to do a funeral for a church member up in Missouri, long trip for him, but what an honor for him to get to remember our dear friend!! We were going to go out of town on Wed. to go visit Joe's grandma and then go by his folks to pick up a washer and dryer since our washer quit working about a week and a half ago. We were getting ready to leave on Wed. and another dear lady in our church went home to be with the Lord. So needless to say plans were tossed up in the air and not sure what to do. We were going to go spend one night in a hotel with our kiddos and go swimming, they were so excited. I cancelled that reservation and the kids were heartbroken. We decided that we really needed some family time, so we packed a bag and went to Amarillo to spend the night at a hotel. Well, we checked in and then went to eat and run a couple of errands, when we got back we all got our swimming suits on and then they told us the pool was closed for repair. Wow, our kid's have had to huge heartbreaks in one day!! They were crushed. We ended up just having some great snacks in our room and great family togetherness time. Sometimes life throws us some unexpected things, but even when it does there is one thing that is constant and never changes and that is Christ in our lives and in our family. We thank Him for the many opportunities that we do have, and even in the disappointments there is always something to be Thankful for. We love just being able to spend quality time with our kid's. We continue to look forward to the day that we can spend that time with our new little one's that we are longing to meet. May we always remember our blessed we are and be thankful for what we have and the things that we get to do.
