Not much to report on for this weekend. The fun part was taking a road trip with Meghan, Dad, and my Grandma Gloria to Wichita. It rained most of the way, but it was still fun. On the way there, I slept until around 8:30 ( we left at 6 and I didn't get to bed until after midnight) after I finally woke up, I went through my wedding album with my grandma. That kept us busy for a while, then Meghan and I watched the Bride and prejudice. That is starting to become one of my favorite movies. This time I put on the subtitles and it translated the songs into English. It gave me even more to think and write about when we do our responses to others. When we made it to Wichita, I was able to catch up with my cousin Stacy, while we ate lunch at Bennigan's. I haven't seen her since I was in Iowa for the summer. It was pretty awesome. I found out she is getting married in May, in Jamaica. That has to be pretty exciting. On the way home we were going to stop at the Oklahoma City Zoo but it was 4:30 and it closed at 5:00 and it was raining. I was kind of bummed, but not to bad. I had fun just spending time with my dad and Meghan. It would have been cool, if mom could have came along , but there is thing called work, that she just had to go to!!!
I have loved every bit of the rain this weekend. We have needed it sooo bad. It was kind of sad driving out of Amarillo. Houses that you are use to seeing were no longer there and it was crazy to see how the fires skipped around. There was some land where it was all black except up close by the house and part of side of land where they had some cattle. It was like God just put his hand over them. It was crazy, because it was black in the front, back, and on both sides. I think we are thankful that the wind wasn't blowing the other way otherwise it could have been our homes. Just remember to keep those in your prayers that were effected by the fires.
Well I off to try to finish my new book. It is called the Witness. It is by Dee Henderson! She is the one that wrote the O'Malley Family Series, and The Uncommon Hero's series. If you like csi and shows like that then you are bound to like these books. Shawn is rereading the first three books in the O'Malley Series. We have a book that is the first three in one. He is on book three. LoL.....well I am really going to go now!
Toodles!!!

I like Dee Henderson too! I have all of the uncommon heroes and have read most of the Omalley series...not sure if I got all of them or not. Have you read much of Karen Kingsbury..she has a new series I think you might like..(probably not Shawn though. :) )
I like the polk a dots - but gotta say the purple is still my favorite. Randy said we needed to rent Bride & Prejudice since I only saw part of it. I'm glad you like it. We're praying for God's will to be done on Shawn's job search.
I don't think I have read any of her books, but I will have to remember her the next time I go to buy a book.
