It has been a while since I have posted. Spare time is something I have so little of now I am working full time. I love working so close to home but I am not always liking working until after 5:00.

The basement is almost completely finished. We have a few furniture pieces to buy( 2 chairs for upstairs to replace the ones we are moving downstairs) and we are waiting one more couch to be delivered. We still have to order blinds, the projector for the theater area and the screen. I believe we have the projector picked out but still waiting on confirmation from the boss on this!!

We are still praying for a baby. We know everything in our lives is in God's timing and in His hands. We trust we will have a baby one day!

Sewing is becoming more and more of a passion of mine. I enjoy making items for others. I wish I could take classes but again that would take more time. I understand now how Rob felt when he was doing the basement project.


Oh Rob turns 36 this week!

A month of Thankfulness

At the end of the month, we will celebrate Thanksgiving. I always think of November as the Thankful month.

I am thankful for so many things but most of the "things" we can not see.


I am thankful for God's grace, love and forgiveness. I am thankful I can wake up each knowing as a child of God I am saved.

I am thankful for the love of my hubby. Yes, I do see it. He does so much for me and does it with a cheerful heart. I am so gratefully and blessed for Rob's love!

I am thankful for the guidance of my dad, Aunt Moz and Uncle Bud all my life and even now daily.

I am thankful for my family, both families. I am thankful for my loving nieces who make my heart smile daily.

I am thankful for wonderful friends.

I am thankful for a church family. I am thankful for a Pastor who stays true to God's word.

I am thankful for the beautiful sunrises and sunsets in Kansas. We may have extreme weather but can hardly beat our sunsets.

I could go on all night. Take time to say what you are thankful for. Make sure you tell the people in your life you are thankful for them.

November is here!

October went by way too fast! I (Heather) had a minor surgery but it has made me very very tired the last week. Rob has been working on the basement and it sure is close to being completed. I am ready to do the before and after pictures! It has been hard work but rewarding knowing Rob completed most of it. I did paint! I have also help sand and stain some of the trim work!



Last night Rob flew us to KC to eat at the Blue Nile Ethiopian restaurant.

The sunset behind us was another remind God is the perfect artist!

Supposely, the 737 was a charter for Pink Floyd. I was impressed we parked by a 737!
We always have to take a picture of us flying even though we have a few!!!






After dinner!




Yummy!

Enjoying traditional Ethi coffee. It is the best coffee!
Rob also enjoying it in the little bitty cup!

Fall is in the air

It is almost fall and the leaves will be changing colors soon in Southeast Missouri. The cotton is starting to bloom. The marching band is practicing every morning before school to be prepared for the Friday night football games. This time off the year makes me homesick for Missouri.

The cool crisp nights are on its way. The cotton carnival is around the corner. The smell of the carnival foods and the American Legion fish and burger stand are a wonderful memory of growing up in Sikeston. It is a small town but it is home.

In Kansas I will one day have the traditions of the season but until then I will be homesick for Missouri in the fall!

Blessings from God

Two years ago today, I married my best friend, my lover and the person who makes me a better person. God blessed me with such a wonderful, God fearing, loving husband! I can not imagine my life without Rob!

I have been thinking about the last two years together. We have been through more than probably most couples. We have experienced deaths in our family, miscarriage, traveling all over, construction project, and just every day life. Every day I love him more! We love just being together even if it is just watching Planet Earth at home. We have traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kenya, Illinois, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Maryland, Oregon, California, NYC since we have been married. We have fun traveling but also have fun in Wichita.

We are blessed with each other and with great friends and family!


Rob, I am looking forward too many many more years together! Thank you for being an amazing husband who keeps God first!

basement project update!

I am excited we have a free weekend to paint the basement! We only have the theater room and the living room area! I can not wait to do before and after pictures once the carpet it done. So far we have taken pictures at each stage!

Goal to be done (except furniture) is end of September! Hopefully we will meet the goal!
