where have i been for the last few weeks?

HI! So sorry that I've been slacking on my blogs lately. Since it's been awhile I'll just do a list of whats up:

-our house sold on Nov. 2nd. everything went really well. i'm glad it is over with. we are living with camerons parents now which is actually fine. it's really great that they are letting us stay here during this transition.

-we went up to the mountain house this past week. did a mini-vacation and went to ikea for more office furniture. the leaves were wonderful colors, but it was 78 degrees everyday! so no cool weather, but still a nice time.

-tomorrow we are going couch shopping. hopefully tomorrow i can blog that we bought one! also looking for all the other furniture (dining room is the other major room we are currently working on). it's a little overwhelming, but an exciting time.

-we don't have wireless internet now so blogging at home is a lot harder. can anyone say DIAL UP? bringing it back. :)

-i was a hair model today. it was fun but she started to cut my hair so it would flip better and now it have lots of layers. i really dislike layers in my hair. so that stinks, but whatever. it's just hair and it'll grow back.

-i'm starting my pre-natal vitamins again. i haven't taken them for months. when i was at the womans conference over a month ago i got prophesied that a baby is coming. so they prayed over me for that. which was really awesome. none of them knew me other than i was joy and steves daughter-in-law. it was very encouraging for us. reminder that God is totally in charge. please keep us in your prayers.

-went to a great 30th birthday party for Kyle. also a get-2-gether for jeff and elizabeth leaving. it was awesome to be with friends and hang out and laugh. friends are great!

-have not been to church in a LONG time. we are going tomorrow and i am really looking forward to getting back into our normal routine. i miss the church. the people. the worship. the presence of God. i'm really happy with where God has us now. it is really nice to say "yes we go to cits" and not "we're visiting a lot of places." i'm glad we are in a new season.

i'm tired so i'm going to bed. talk to you soon...
