We're Back!

As Darrick wrote because of my great ideas I have that are quite often spur of the moment things, when I moved the computer into our reading room/living room I didn't know they Cable link was not strong enough out there. So I was left without Internet and a home phone for 3 days.



So many big things have happened!



1. Micah had his first soccer game on Saturday and he scored 3 goals!



2. After going with Margaret and Loretta to the Hale Koa on Friday and putting 3 car seats in the Jeep I learned that it is too small for 3 kids. They were sitting on top of each other and their seats were up against the doors. So yesterday I traded the Jeep in for a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan!

I am super happy with it and all the extras it has!

3. We received a big packet in the mail from Buckner this week and the letter said, " We are thankful for your interest in Buckner's ministry! Your Buckner Preliminary Application has been received and it appears you meet Buckner's basic qualifications allowing you to move forward to begin the Home Study evaluation process"!!!!! We are so excited, thank you Lord.

4. We found out that in about 3 weeks my parents will be making their 3rd visit to Hawaii to see us!

In other news Darrick is still in San Diego. Micah's other top front tooth is pretty loose now too! Jacob is becoming quite a good artist and draws me many pictures.

1. Go Micah!! :) [That's me cheering from the sidelines.]
2. Well, you had a good run there for a little while with a cool car... :) Just teasing... The minivan looks quite snazzy. And at first, I was like, "Why do you need to fit 3 kids in it? You only have 2." But then I remembered you'll be having another child soon [by the grace of God]. :) Duh.
3. Well, of course you guys meet the qualifications! :) Congratulations! Another exciting step forward!

I went to a "Women & Worship" event last night at my church and the speaker talked about how isolation is detrimental to relationships and how we all need a person we can be our "authentic self" with. I realized that I'm not sure I have anyone I am truly authentic with. But I know that I felt most like my true self when I was with you, Jenn. It made me miss you all the more... :) I love you.
