Faith

Faith is doing much much better...so much better that she has really been a handful today! I'm thinking all her energy has been laying low until she got better and we got a weeks worth of her silly craziness all in one day! I'm still glad to have my silly sweet girl better!! Thank you so much for all your prayers :)

God is good

God is so good. He is forever faithful. Even though I doubt, question and get angry, He always provides. I just want to say, I love YOU Lord!

I'm not too good at this...

Well, let's see...I'm doing pretty good...posting about a month at a time! :)

Let me back up a bit...

These are the events for August **what a month!**

1. First and most important...my sister Sarah GOT SAVED!! She also got baptized!!





2. Tommy got a kidney stone...almost exactly a month to the day that I had mine in Oklahoma. This was sooo crazy! Of course, he claims that his pain was MUCH worse than mine!! Actually, he apologized for not being more sympathetic when I had mine.



3. My baby started kindegarten!! Faith has been a champ and LOVES her new teacher! I really really thought she still NEEDED me, but she proved me wrong...no tears on the first day! She's already had her first "pepper rally"















4. Alex started the 5th grade! Geesh...I'm really feeling old! She has also done great. She now has 5 teachers. She is in advanced classes as well. I'm a proud mama!!







5. My fantastic husband, being obedient to the Lord stood up in front of our Sunday
School class of about 50 people and gave his testimony!! I cried the whole time!! I had to sneak a couple of pics so that he would believe that he really did it :) What a blessing!







Let's see, school has been in for 3 weeks now and Faith has missed 6 days!! She has been home all week due to a severe bacterial infection. She has had a very high fever for the past week. We have been in and out of the Dr office several times. We finally ended up in the ER yesterday. They were concerned that she had an abcess in her throat. They did a CT scan and Praise God, she did not have one. They have started her on a heavy duty antibiotic and so far she has been fever free all day! YAY!!

Whew! We have had a nonstop August!! I keep saying that we are ready for things to settle down, but it is one thing after another. One praise is that Tommy has been home for the whole month. I really miss him when he's gone!

I am really happy that football season has started. I got tired of being irritated with Tommy about his obsession with college football and decided to join him last year. It was so much fun!! Last year was a blast because it was SO unpredictable. I am looking forward to keeping up with it all with my buddy and rooting for our Sooners!!
