So much time has passed and so many things have happened.
We are still waiting to see if we will get the house. It has been such a long drawn out affair I almost wish we had never started the whole process. Closing is supposed to be April 11. Steve from bank called me today and said we are still shooting to close that day. Not sure it will be that soon.
Missie is so excited. She is to get her license soon and has an interview at DQ on Wed. She hopes she can get a part time job there. I hope she can handle it all but she is afraid if she doesn't take it now, she will not get a job for the summer. She is so grown up now, it is so hard to believe. She had all 4 wisdom teeth cut out a week ago tomorrow. She did really well. I am glad that is over for her! She
Preston is doing well. Hoping it will soon be warm enough to ride his bike. He has had a few days to ride, and it is so good for him.
Jr.'s job is still doing great, 52 hrs. one week, 40 the next. So thankful he has a good job. Even though it is a Japanese company, their work is not slowing down at all. Hopefully it won't. It seems some of the men in our church will have a problem and have their hours cut.
Missie and I plan to go IHC for a day at the end of this month. I have never been to IHC. I watched the services livestreaming and also the archives and have been so blessed. Last year the services were tremendous! And I will get to see some friends and family that I haven't seen in a long time! We are gonna leave early Thurs. a.m. and come home that night after the evening service. Jr. is taking that evening off to stay with Preston. Then he will take the other 2 days off that he has ahead, if and when we move.
'til next time...

It's been awhile...
since I posted.
We got through Christmas. God was good to us. We don't have a lot of money to spend at Christmas, but the children are thankful for what they get! When our taxes come back we usually get them something that they need. Missie needs a new laptop, and Preston needs a new recliner.
It has been quite a winter here! Wow, lots of snow. Cold cold weather. I have lived down south to long, to really enjoy this. I miss South Carolina. Preston has been asking to go back down there and live! We will see what happens when Missie graduates, and moves away from home. She is in her Junior year and doing great! I am so glad she is a good student! It lightens my load a lot.
Jr. is still working 2nd shift but got the promotion and likes the new job at NTK much better. He works in quality control lab. He has about 5 people under him. I am thankful he was able to get this promotion!
So we are doing quite well. Time marches on so quickly. Missie wants to go to UBC at least a year, and then wants to also get her RN degree, too. She feels called to be a missionary, and a missionary nurse is even better! We are so thankful for our daughter; she is just a joy to our lives.
Preston has been taking buspar for years, for anxiety. Well, they quit making namebrand, and he has been taking generic. Lately, he is still nervous even with the buspar. We also have xanex for when he needs it, and it is working a lot better for him. So we are probably gonna take him off buspar and put him on the xanex. Yes, it is habit forming, but he will have to be on meds. the rest of his life, so I can't worry about that. He needs his anti-anxity meds. to cope. When he is not nervous, it helps us all!
So that is about it for this time!

November!
Is it November already? Hard to believe.
Missie and I flew to Canada and spent 3 days with my mom, & stepdad. My brother was on holidays, so he drove us everywhere we wanted to go! We had a wonderful time! The only problem we had when we got back to Chicago they had canceled our flight to Indy. They said we couldn't fly out until the next day. Well, I asked them about rerouting us and they were able to do that. But we had to fly to Washington, DC and then to Indy, it was a very long day and we got home about 2 a.m. on Thurs. morning! I will post a few pictures of my mom, etc.
We got a perfect report on Missie today, at her school. She is on track or ahead in all of her subjects. We are so proud of her. She loves her school, and studies hard. She is such a blessing to us. She feels called of God to Christian service, and that will please us! At this point, she wants to go to Bible College and major in Missions. She is also debating going through to be an RN as well. So we will see what God has for her!
Preston has been having headaches for a couple of weeks so he goes to neurosurgeon on Tues. in Indianapolis. I think he probably just needs his shunt adjusted; so thankful these shunts can be adjusted without surgery! Hoping and praying that is all he needs. He has been enjoying these beautiful warm days and sitting outside in his swing on our front porch.
Junior is busy at work. He likes the newest job he has at NTK, in the lab. He enjoys it much better than being out on the line. I am so glad he was able to get this job in the lab. He and Missie were planning to go to NC for Thanksgiving to his parents, but the trip is over 600 miles and it is too much driving for such a short time. So they are staying home for Thanksgiving.
So that is about all for now. I post all my pictures and updates on facebook, and don't blog as much as I used too.

September!
September is fast getting away from us. Unbelievable!
I will try and recap our summer.
Missie enjoyed being off school, and I did too, so we could get some extra rest! She attended 2 youth camps - one being right here in Frankfort at Pilgrim Youth Camp and the other being Athens in MI. One of the highlights of her summer was flying alone to Boise, ID from Indianapolis. She went to see James and meet his friends and family. She loved them all, and everyone was so sweet to her and gave her a wonderful vacation. But James and Missie don't feel they are the one for each other to spend the rest of their lives with. We have always taught Missie to not date anyone she doesn't feel she could marry. They just didn't seem compatible, so they mutually agreed to break up and remain friends. It hurt me and his family as well, but we want God's perfect will for both of their lives. She is in her junior year and this is her busiest year, even busier than her senior year. She has a heavy load. I am so thankful she is smart and gets good grades. But she works hard at it. She is very studious and we are so proud of her.
She and I are flying to Canada to see my family for Canadian Thanksgiving. We are flying out on Oct. 9 and staying until Oct. 13. It will be short but Junior can't take any more days off work to stay with Preston. Preston doesn't know yet. But he and his daddy will have a good time here. I haven't seen my mom in over 3 years, so I want to see her so bad. Pray for our safety.
Missie had a couple of bad weeks with her stomach. I took her to dr. and he said it could be an ulcer, or heartburn/acid reflux. He put her on meds. and she is doing much better. We are thankful for that. She missed 2 days of school from it. Her hypermobility is pretty bad if she does anything unusual. She went on a canoeing trip yesterday and both shoulders have been in extreme pain. I think I may take her back to Riley and see what they see. I also wonder if it might be more than hypermobility.
Preston has been riding his bike in this beautiful weather. He has ridden 5 days this week! I am so glad he can do that. It helps him feel better mentally, and helps his depression. He sleeps better at night, and the fresh air does him so good.
He is doing real well right now! We are thankful for that.
Junior got a new job within his company for $2/hr. raise. He is still working 3-11. Missie misses him cause during week she doesn't get to see him. They are so close, she is a daddy's girl. Preston and I get to see him a lot, but she doesn't. But we are thankful he has a good job.
So that is the update for this time!

Missie!
Missie flew out yesterday from Indy, landed in Phoenix, had about 2 1/2 hr. layover there, then on to Boise, ID. She is still trying to get caught up on her rest and has been suffering from jet lag. She is with James and his family until Aug. 21st! I have posted some pictures from today that James uploaded to his facebook page. We miss her, but felt she needed this time with James. It is hard to live 1,800 miles apart and be in a relationship. This is the farthest she has been away from us and the longest! I imagine she will be ready to come home on the 21st! School starts on the 27th, a short day. So she will have a few days to catch up on her sleep.
Hopefully there will be more pictures to come!
Hopefully there will be more pictures to come!

Latest News!
Jr. is going back to his job here in town, and we are gonna stay here in Frankfort, until Missie graduates in 2012. So we don't have to move right now, and I am so thankful. We just didn't have enough time to plan it all and get Missie enrolled in UBA nor did we have the money to do all of this stuff. So we are here for a couple more years unless the Lord changes our minds.

Breaking News!!!!
First of all, Junior has a new job. He is now working days at Indianapolis Woodworking, the downside of this is, he has to drive an hr. each way. We will probably be moving down that way next year. I just can't see us moving much sooner than that unless the Lord opens the doors. I am concerned about the winter weather.
He is so happy to be back into woodworking and on days!
Secondly, I got my CANADIAN PASSPORT today! I can now go home and see my mom. We are sending Missie's application off next week, and are planning to go around the end of August to Canada! James is hoping to get his passport, and fly up here and go with us. I hope he can! It will feel safer to have him with us on this road trip.
Posting latest pictures of us and James. James and Missie are trying to coordinate clothing for their date when she is in ID. She flies out from Indy on Aug.7 and flies back on 21st, and hopefully he will be flying back with her, as we plan to leave for Canada the following Friday.
Just had to share!
