Sometimes I Write

I’m doing them right now! We are now the proud owners of a 24 x 63 Hacienda! Everything went smoothly at the closing, and we spent our first night in our new home. Benny and I stayed up late dreaming and planning out what and how we’re going to paint. 1970’s brown paneling doesn’t do it for us. We found the colors we liked, and bought the paint today. (Yeah Wal*Mart!) We were supposed to drive back to Buena Vista today since Benny’s parents were returning home from their trip, then all of us go back to Denver to paint on Saturday. However, Benny decided that he and Max would stay in Denver until Saturday to prep the house for paint. (Stinker!) So, I returned to B.V. with Zoe and Petey by myself. (We didn’t pack enough clothes and diapers to stay too.) I was a little nervous about the 3 hour trek back through the mountains, at night, in the snow, with Elk lurking in the hills, and people that lack the sense to turn their brights off when they see another vehicle coming. Alas, we arrived safely! Once again, having a cell phone was a security and a luxury I was VERY thankful to have.

So, it’s official…after months of prayer, worrying, prayer, crying, prayer, and did I mention prayer? We live in Denver and we’re a part of Dry Bones. We’re very excited and extremely grateful to everyone who has been praying with and for us. God bless you all! (Ya’ll for our southern friends):) I can’t wait to see what God’s going to do next!

Please pray for our friends Matt & Nikki Wallace as they travel to Texas to walk with Jeff Robinson for a few days. Remember him in your prayers too! He’s the guy walking from Galveston, TX to Denver to raise awareness and money for DBDenver. He’s wearing out his walking shoes pretty fast. Check out his website again at www.walkingtodenver.com .
