Well I have to say it has been a pretty great week so far. There has been a great sense of peace and joy all around this place. We have been very blessed and can feel The Lord's presence strongly within our midst. Last week, Gary and I ran into town to get some supplies for the center. On our way, he wanted to stop in at the Restore (Habitat for Humanities Store). I really didn't want too, but relented nevertheless. Well....while we were there we found this amazing antique stove that we are going to put in the soap room. I mean is that great or what? I was on cloud nine for at least 3 days! :) I absolutely love it...and bonus...all the money goes back into Ministry! :)

I also found out this week that my sweet friend Mary is now working right across the lawn from me and we are having lunch together every day...I cannot even tell you what blessing that was. I have been struggling at work a bit and Mary's presence just fills me with unending joy!

Along that line we also made a decision to go ahead and get Kyle set up for school in Arizona where he can be near Megan. I know this is going to be a great 3 months as we prepare for his new place.

It's almost time for Chieftain football, which I absolutely cannot wait for....just love being a football Mommie! And this year it is even better because we have such wonderful friends that we are sharing it with. :) Lori and I have waited a long time to be Varsity Mom's together! :) Plus my bubby is playing Pop Warner Football...even better!! Also looking forward to getting to know our new friends Monica and Marc better.

As you can read and see, there has been a sense of joy here. Last night I felt like sharing that, so I went out to give Ellie some pampering! She has been kinda depressed lately with the heat and all. She received a wonderful bath complete with belly rub, we washed out her entire pen and put down some cushy fresh bedding. She was a super happy sow!

All girls need pampering! :)

I love living in a place of great joy...don't you? :)
