3 Awesome Additions...

...in the boys room this weekend!
An wonderful aquarium for Princess Leia
(we found this on the curb of someones house a few weeks ago during the Kearney big fall throwout where you can throw away big items twice a year...it is quite the event here where cars line up searching through each others trash! Ashlyn and I participated and got a free patio set, turtle sandbox, some lawn chairs, a really nice tractor set for Caleb, a paper shredder and this aquarium - we finally got it cleaned up to use this weekend! It replaced the small bowl we had before and the boys love that it lights up!)

We found this 19" TV with VCR on Craigslist to replace the old 13" we had before for $15 - and it works great! We broke it in this weekend and watched Peter Pan on it.

A ceiling fan we got on clearance a long time ago that has been in the garage waiting to come in! John hung it in their room this weekend while the kids and I sang our States and Capitals song for him! It looks much better hanging up than in the box in the garage I think :)

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
