We sent our girls off yesterday for their choir trip. They are heading to Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The choir will be singing in various churches along the way. They will also be doing alot of fun stuff like going to Branson and Silver Dollar City. Jessica has texted us once and it was short and sweet just to let us know that it is tooo loud to talk on her cell phone but they are fine and having a blast!! We are so blessed to be a part of a wonderful church that supports the youth and encourages them to share the gospel in all different ways and to all different kinds of people.

I am about to start another new chapter in my life, as if our family doesnt already have some new chapters just beginnnng. Well, anyways, I have just registered to go back to school and start the nurses reentry program. This will take me about one year to complete. I will take an online course starting Aug11th- Dec8th with a few Sat. labs. Then in Jan I will start a preceptor program which is 72 hours. I am so excited about this. It will be a little challenging with working full time and caring for my family. But my family is 100% supportive and I know they will be my greatest encouragers. God definitly opened all the doors for this to happen and I know he will be faithful to me and my family through this whole process. Where the Lord guides, the Lord provides!!

We spent the day at Fiest Texas today. It was a blessed time to just play with our kids. We all loved the new Goliath ride, although Grant and I are beginning to feel the effects of these roller coasters a little more. We couldn't decide if it was the rides getting faster and more adventourous or we are getting older and feeling it more. Maybe a combination or at least we like to think so.

Last night Jessica called home and in her sweet voice asked "Mom, can a few girls come home with me to spend the night?" "Sure, I replied" Then 8 girls later, our home was filled. It was such a joy to hear their laughter and friendship being exchanged--- even at 2am. Teenagers are a blessing.
