Taking a break from my soul searching drama, I am going to enjoy a light moment today. I am tired of everything else going on and am learning to enjoy the little joy moments that can be robbed when absorbed in self pity. Brent traded his car in to the dealership yesterday in exchange for two new cars for us. With the gas prices elevated and our drive time extended each day, it made more sense to save money. It is hard to believe you can save that much money by buying something new. I think I get almost double the mpg with my new car compared to the family van.
I couldn't resist getting Tyler to take our picture together yesterday in front of our house when we got home from the dealership. Sometimes you get a quick moment of joy in the midst of struggle. It is like a breath of fresh air working at the dairy farm. You appreciate the sweet smell.
1 Peter 1:8
"You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy."

Hi Emily,
Thought I would check your blog to see how your first couple of weeks have been going. Hope you all are surviving. Mandee started at her new school this week. She called me this afternoon saying she is so nervous about starting at a new place. Pray that she will look to God for wisdom and calmness.
Thank you again for letting us stay at your place. I hope we didn't leave any big messes. :-)
I hope to go to CDA tomorrow to sit with Kay some as John has his treatment.
Love & prayers,
Deb Ross
