Rob and I are giddy like little kids! We can not wait to see what the basement is going to look like when we get home. Today the sheet rock is being hung! It is so exciting to see a project step by step be completed. In three days the basement will have permanent walls! Praise the Lord for this accomplishment!
Rob and I have an idea what colors we are going to paint the basement! That will be the fun part for me! I can picture it all in my mind so it is so exciting to actually get to start painting! Of course trying to find the time to paint is going to be challenging now! July is so busy! We will have to paint during the week since almost every weekend has something booked!
We have all kinds of anticipation going on! We leave for Oregon in 5 days! I have my lists made out and somethings packed! I am so ready for a week without work and time alone with my hubby! It will be such a beautiful trip! I love waterfalls and just nature all round!

Our weekend
Well our weekend was pretty low key. Saturday morning we went to the farmer's market. We bought squash, tomatoes, beets, potatoes, and cucumbers! I am excited to eat all of the fresh veggies this week.
Then we went to The Donut Whole for donuts.
Rob stuffing his face with a cheesecake donut! Picture is sorta bad since it was from my phone!
Maple Bacon donuts and toasted coconut donuts! The coconut was my favorite!
We had a relaxing time down by the river also!
God sure does paint a pretty picture!
What I didn't take a picture of is what I am dreaming of! A new embroidery/sewing machine! Oh it is glorious! I am so wanting it. It has a larger space for embroidering. It has hundreds of stitched for sewing. You can do some many things with it! So know my mad money is being saved for the glorious machine!

Project updates
I am waiting to do before and after pictures of the basement when it is completed.
Rob and his dad are putting the insulation up and hopefully will finish tomorrow! I am excited the sheet rocking will be done before July! We will have walls that I can paint! Now I am not putting pressure on ourselves to get the furniture any time soon. Hopefully by the fall we will have carpet, the bar, and furniture all down there so we can have a movie party! I can not wait for the home theater. To recline back and watch a movie downstairs is going to be great. I know Rob will be one happy man!
I am not pushing to do the patio until the fall now. We do not have one weekend free until middle of August so I need to try to pace the projects! The fire pit will be nice on cool fall evenings!

My 9:00 am daily email
Every morning around 9:00 I receive an email from Proverbs 31 Ministries. It is a daily devotional. I read them faithful and think about the scripture throughout the day.
On more than a few hundred occasions, it is like the email is written to me for something I am going through in my life. It may be dealing with a coworker, or a friendship, death in the family ect. It always speaks to me.
Isn't God amazing! Even in today's world, God speaks through an email! Telling me what I need to hear. Sometimes it knocks me down a little off my high horse. He speaks not only through His word, but through songs, emails, friends or even a stranger. I am constantly reminded to listen and be still! God will speak to you if you are willing to listen and accept what He has to say!

Relating to Hannah
When I read 1 Samuel 1, I relate with Hannah how she feels year after year not having a child. Elkanah loves her and takes extra care of her. She still longs for a son for Elkanah.
It seems like everyone around me is either pregnant or having a child. There are days it is frustrating and it hurts. Month after month I pray I become pregnant again. The miscarriage has been too much to handle and I just want one baby.
When I feel overwhelmed with the longing for a child, I read 1 Samuel . Hannah poured her heart and soul, weeping and praying to the Lord. Trust me I pray and cry also. Then God granted her pray, Samuel! She gave him back to Him also.
I know God answers pray. If it is God's will, Rob and I will have a child one day. But like Hannah, my hubby loves me and takes care of me! I am truly blessed!
