Sunday in mexico

Today, we have gotten up and had breakfast now just waiting for church to start. Rachel and I are obsessed "God of this city" by Chris Tomlin really we just can't get it out of our head at all! So we are actually listening to it right now in the girls room!

After church we will do lunch then get everything prepared for the orphanage tomorrow such as crafts, puppetts...etc! There is a group going over today to begin working on the house that we are building for a family! Pray for safe travels across the border and flexibility for the week!

Cannot wait to get to be with the kids tomorrow!!

Mexico here I come....

Well, I am currently "mobile blogging" on my phone as we drive to mexico! This will be my 5th year and 6th time getting to go spend time at Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo,Mexico! I am so excited, I love this place and these children! This year is going to be a little different as we will spend 2 days working at the orphanage and then 2 days out in the colonials which are basically the slums of nuevo laredo! I cannot wait to see the precious childrens smiling faces bright and early monday morning! In the mean time pray for us with safe travels and maybe no mechanical problems...ha...ha...we are in church vehicles! I'm not exactly sure how this mobile blogging exactly works so hopefully I'm doing it right! Will give some more updates this week!

Adios! (Just getting ready for mexico)

There is a date!

We have a wedding date! October 10th, 2009 for Callie and Jeremiah!

Its settled and will be at the Eglin Officers Club both the ceremony (back lawn) and reception (indoors) so yay! we can finally breathe a sigh of relief!

on the other hand... I am working and preparing for my mission trip to mexico which i leave for on Friday night! I am so excited and just cannot wait!

Art history or...blog...? hmm

I have a presentation in the morning for my next to last art history class...it has been fine until now. A presentation on a paper we had to write last week, well i was not to confident on the paper itself now i have to get up and talk about it infront of people..BOO! So instead of working on it, i am blogging! Sounds like a good plan to me huh...



Wedding Update Callie is well still wedding planning and we do not have a date or venue yet. the ones she likes are not big enough to hold to massive amounts of people on the invite list. We have a dress, bridesmaid dresses, colors, tuxes....but no venue! Hopefully within the next couple of days..not hopefully but WE WILL have something in the next couple of days..we have no choice!


CMT music awards are on..again better than art history! Maybe i will throw something together by 8am

We Must Go

God of Justice, Saviour to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served
Jesus, You have called us
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go

To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in everyway
Walking humbly before You God
You have shown us, what You require
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out Lord

"God Of Justice" Tim Hughes

Wedding planning, work....etc

Callie is engaged but she would like an outdoor wedding, due to multiple reasons the wedding is planned for this coming fall, in october or november possibly. Well that means one thing... Get to it ladies! We hit the ground running this week with wedding plans..dress shopping, venue shopping, lots of internet sites with pictures and colors and what not! Well, we were mostly successful because Callie found "IT" and its gorgeous and she loves it. But no details until the big day!! Which will be.....??? Good question the date and venue have not been nailed down for sure but hopefully ASAP! We also picked out the bridesmaid dresses which i realllllly like! I kinda picked them out so uh, hopefully everyone else agrees! But we are making progress nonetheless, its busy but defnitely exciting at the same time!

I began working this week at Big K, its hectic but it is alot of fun and I have alot of friends as co-workers so that helps alot...not to mention the sweet hawiian polos we get to wear! That almost makes it all worth it!!

I am not really sure I have much else to say, but I am sure with wedding and family in town there will be many more updates!

Love you all!
