The Red Room

The painting project has begun! Dan, Nick and I laid down the gray primer last night, and today Nick and I have completed the first coat of red in what will be our new study room. It is looking really good. I think it is going to take one more coat of red and we will be ready to do the dark trim. I am pretty proud of ourselves. It sure is a blessing to have Nick here. I have enjoyed getting to hang out with him. He is a really good guy, and I know he is going to do well in the military. I know it is going to do alot of good for him. I hope is family is as proud of him as we are. After he goes in, I want to get us all to send him letters to encourage him through boot-camp and to support him afterwards. Having him here reminds me of how it was like before I went in. I spent much of those last couple weeks visiting family and having a last hoorah before going. To have him spending it with us, and to be able to care for him in that way now is awesome. I hope he is having a good time with us and all of our crazy antics. I think Nick is starting to get a cold though, so please pray for him to get better quickly. I would hate for him to get sick just before going in.

In other news, our friend Dan's annivesary was yesterday. His wife was at Fenway Park at the game in Boston, so he go to hang out with us. Happy Anniversary Dan and Molly. It has been alot of fun getting to know you guys. You are both a blessing to our family, and our lives would not be the same if we hadn't gotten to know you. After all..."You guys are the best!"

Also Frankie seems to be settling in alright. It's taking some time for him to get adjusted to the other cats, and Annabelle I doubt remembers him. It's kind of cool getting to see her and her daddy though side by side.

Lastly, it really looks like this new building we are praying for, in regards to Shane, is coming through! Keep praying and making it break through in the heavens for us! I am hoping to find out more today, but it is looking very very good! Shane is just going to have to recome up with the money for a down-payment so he can get in there. Once he is in, he will make money and I know it will be alright. We just need some finances to come in supernaturally for him now, and I am believing God is going to make a way. He will probably have to raise around $2,000. So pray for it to rain abundantly!
