My Son's new place

Well my son Matt finally has gotten his own apartment. He has had many roomates over the years and decided to go it alone. It helps with hygiene and all thos important things! We all helped him move in last night. My daughter Ashley, his girlfriend Jade and I all went to get him a few things. It was SO MUCH FUN buying towels, rugs, and shower curtains that all match. The best thing of all though was the pride in him. I know he feels so good abouth the fact that he can do this. He went to school, got his degree, and found a great job, and now his own place. There is a sense of pride in a mom as well to see her first born thriving so well on his own. God has been SO GOOD to all of us. Russ and I are so blessed to have such great kids and to see all they are doing. Thank-you Jesus. Back today to get some groceries and help "Refine" the place. This is all such a good thing!

Is the grim reaper near?

Well, this month is a mind blower. Russ turns 50 tomorrow and Ash turns 20 next Tuesday. At brunch on Sunday Russ told the kids that 50 isn't so bad but 60 will be the killer. You know wrinkles, gray hair if you have any at all, bad eyes, knees, hips and breath, all the good stuff?! I must be in Never, Never land but I thought 60 is when we would be in our rarest form. No more kids in the house (hopefully), retirement, grandbabies, and a lot of other blessings, to many to count. Iv'e thought so much about teaching my Grandchildren about life and the Lord who provides it all. I want to see the excitement in their faces when I teach them about Noah, Moses, Adam and Eve and all the other characters that make up the most important book in the world. I hope Russ was just kidding,I feel like our lives are beginning again, and boy what a ride it will be! Anyone have any thoughts on this, let's talk about them.
