When Will I Learn…
I love coffee. I love relaxing in the morning with a cup of coffee. I love filling up my fun thermos mugs and sipping coffee on my way to School. I do not love making coffee. I am horrible at it!!! I grind the beans, measure the grounds, fill the water, set the timer…but it never tastes good. I add sugar, cream…then more sugar and more cream, but still…it is too bitter, not sweet enough, too sweet. Inevitably, I give up, dump out my coffee and have a cup of tea!!! Today, however, I had my very last Diet Dr Pepper!!!
Come home quick Keith…I need some coffee!!! =-)

A Fabulous Day!!!
FB [AM]: Roses from a super cute blonde, my all time favorite cupcakes and visit from 2 of my favorite girls, coffee with a fabulous friend and dinner with my darling kids!!! Could this day get any better???
FB [PM]: How horrible am I that I am rejoicing that Gid forgot his homework folder so we do not have to do the majority of his homework...while hiding in the bathroom eating amazing chocolate cupcakes just so I do not have to share!!! Tomorrow, I will try harder, do better, etc, etc...but right now I am loving a quiet moment on the bathroom rug enjoying every morsel of the 9 {yes 9!!!} fabulous cupcakes!!! Reminder~add sit-ups to my "do better list" or just buy bigger pants!!!

Hope?!?!?
I love plants, but have never had much of a green thumb. I always walk through the mini-nursery at the grocery store and peek in the flower stores. I do try to keep my plant purchases to a minimum…because if they survive my bad attempts of caring for them, they usually do not survive life in our entryway with minimal light and attention from our neighbors while we are traveling. I thought this African Violet had drowned when the leaves turned brown and the roots were swimming in water, but today I noticed a few new green leaves. I picked off the brown leaves, repotted the roots and will see if it survives.

Valentine Dinner…
A day filled with flowers, breakfast with friends, cookies with a darling 3 year old, a party with my favorite Second Graders {and teaching them love is more than hugging and smooches}, dinner out with my family, home in my jammies by 5 spending the rest of the night watching movies!!! What a fabulous day!!!
We even had Dinner Theater staring Emme!!!

Simple Church…Get’s a New Look
Life is a journey. Experiencing that journey in another country is an adventure. In an adventure, you face joys and trails. Tonight was a joy…getting to read the Bible with such fun people!!!
Simple Church~In September, Keith went to a Simple Church Conference. The Conference ended on Wednesday and his prayer was that within a week, he would be studying the Bible with someone in their home. This has really been our goal for more than 10 years, so I was honestly doubtful that it would happen so quick! God answered Keith’s prayer! The following Tuesday, Keith and his friend had meet a couple who wanted to study the Bible in their home that Saturday! Since then, doors have been opening and this weekend we will have Simple Church 3 different times!!! Please pray that more doors and hearts would open!!!

A Package…
And the required preopening pic!!!
Keith’s new glasses arrived and don’t even need adjusted!!! We love our Clovis Glasses Guy!!!
And yes, Keith does have a huge scratch on his head. And no, we did not get in a fight. It was a self-inflicted wound during Aikido. A girl in the class came to the rescue by applying perfume!
