We should have listened to Ella

-
Last night around 11:30, Ashlyn woke us up. She said Ella was growling and barking. She tried to call her back into her bed, but she was really upset. I thought she just wanted to sleep with me, so I tried to take her in my bed. She eventually calmed down and went back to sleep. She got up again around 4:30 this morning doing the same thing. This time I took her outside in the backyard and sure enough, she had to go to the bathroom. I thought to myself that she was probably upset earlier because she had to go out too. Then we went to leave for church. This is what we found...

We now wish we would have looked out the window when she was barking. John could have ran out and freaked them out. We aren't sure if John's 10th grade students read this blog or not, but just in case, John has one word....REVENGE :)

It was a little funny to talk about with the kids as we drove to church. I used to toilet paper all the time in high school. All the kids could say when we got home to clean it up was, "what a waste of toilet paper! This could have lasted us a whole week!" My kids are such great bargain thinkers :)

Ella is Carol's dog that I was dogsitting for 5 days while Sue was out of town. We wished we looked out the window when she was barking because we could have caught them in the act :)

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...
