We are still here...

yes I know I know, it has been a long time that I have updated and I apologize for that!!!It's Andrew's birthday today, last night we had a surprise party for him and he had NO idea!!

Wow have things been changing in our lives this year... God has been teaching us patience and to trust in Him fully for everything. To start we struggled after Christmas as some of our finances were discontinued which meant me getting a p/t job aside from my f/t job, I just found one in this last month cleaning a house every Saturday.This is when Andrew failed his first exam after keeping a high 90 average since he started. Andrew is still in school, doing well and is hoping to be done in May. It was soon after that we found out that a friend of our family made a decision, a decision to take his own life because he couldn't overcome the drug addiction that haunted him for so long. That was an eye opener for us and were reminded of how important it is to let God be in control of our lives and to continue to be filed with His Spirit. Things were rocky at first but eventually leveled out. shortly after that my friends dad passed away of cancer, but I must say that it was a sad time but also the happiest funeral both Andrew and I had ever been to. It was like a funeral, revival meeting, and a celebration all in one.
We are thankful for these times because it taught us soo much and helped us to grow in so many ways, God is so good!!! Since then we have been so blessed, my p/t job has helped us with finances and the most recent news is that we were lucky to be able to purchase a townhouse in Martensville !!!! We are so excited and can't wait to move in, but it is being renovated first, we should have it sometime in mid April. There is way more little details and I could go on and on but here is a picture of the outside of our new house!!! We would ask that you would pray for us as Andrew is finishing school and as we are going to be moving soon






How's that for an update hey well I should quit before I don't have anything to talk about for the next 3 months ha ha ha.
God Bless...

Nice post! Good that you were able to get a place to move into. Much nicer than a stinky old apt. I thought Andrew's dad and brother purchased the townhouse? You'll be a small town girl now too! lol have fun packing and getting ready to move in!

Hey Congrats on the new place. It'll be nice. Also a happy belated b-day to Andrew. Sorry - we didn't know when you get older each year:). Take care.
