Preparing Scott's Home to be OURS!

Scott and I have been extremely productive with getting our house ready for the two of us. It's been enjoyable to spend each day with each other and planning our next projects. I admire his work ethic and we have gotten so much done. Our basement was the next project since we like to spend time in this the most we wanted a warm feel to it. We striped the wallpaper and had a completely white wall room. We added some rich Mexican chilli color to our walls and have been pretty thrilled with the outcome.
One week and a half and we will be in Jamacia. I can't believe it's actually here and our incredible wedding will be completed. All I need are shoes! All Scott needs is a ring. Well, I guess we are doing pretty good right?
We recently had a barn dance with our singles group and I was able to see where we were going to have our reception. I am totally excited for the relaxed atmophere of a farm to have people come and meet us. I think it will be a great time. There is something about a farm which just makes people welcome. Scott's parents have been a huge help in offering their guidance and giving towards our reception. It's going to be a great time.
Guatemala friends are still missing me there and writing when they have a chance.
We are still wanting to help with the process of keeping the sports program working and active.

Home at Last

I have been home now for a week. I found my dress still fits perfect and my bridesmaids dresses are complete too. Scott got the guys tuxes and I helped him with the ties and vests. We painted our bedroom and bathroom. Our study will be a sports theme, basement latino theme, spare bedroom africa and asia theme and we are working on cleaning out the garage. It's been very busy back home and I am extremely excited about heading to Jamaica in a about two weeks to get married. Scott and I have had a wonderful time just being together and working on the house. We are a very good pair. We just got our invitation in the mail today so we will be sending them out soon. Everything is going extremely well and I couldn't have asked for a better time with Scott. It's been a dream! Scott's parents are allowing Scott to drive their van and I am driving Scott's car for awhile. It's a huge blessing to have family around to help.
I recieved a call from an old assistant of mine telling me he was headed to KC for a job and that there would be an assistant job opening at Heights High School. The pay is pretty good and it would be an assistant job helping with softball. I was very excited when I talked with the coach at the High School because he is looking forward to having me join him. It's been so great to be back in Wichita and allowing God to work things out for our good. What an incredible God I serve. Please be in prayer for our trip with our friends and families. We are hoping to have a relaxing and enjoyable time getting married.

Finish Strong!

I was dreading the up coming events just because I was so wanting to be home. One event was the all church game night. We ended up having several glitches but it all ended up working out and people had a ball. I was a little worried at first because it was putting others in charge of their own games. Needless to say it all worked out and we had an amazing evening. The next event the next day was our three public school and ours having a sport camp. We played basketball, soccer, volleyball and kickball. It was an amazing day and everyone had a blast. The kids enjoyed their time together and sevearal kids were extremely thankful for our time with them and feeding them. We had 177 kids at this camp and 25 kids made first time commitments to Christ, 52 rededicated thier lives and character to be one with Christ and the others asked for prayer for thier families. It was an amazing day. I had a public school want a picture with me and I must have given out 64 hugs in one setting. The next morning my back was out from giving so many hugs to little fifth and six graders. We might have even more kids come to know the Lord as one group handed in their cards before filling them out completetly. God is so good and my life has been so blessed with how God has used me here. I am glad I got so much encouragement from scott and so many faithful believers. Thanks for your prayers, it truly helped me have strength to finish strong.
