Life....

Life doesn't stop moving! The first week of May, we went on an incredibly lovely vacation...probably the best vacation i've had ever had, to Kauai! My parents, who are dears, came and watched the kids so that we could have some time to ourselves. We went to celebrate the best 10 years of our lives! It is great knowing that your kids are in capable and loving hands. We didn't worry about them once. Sydney did make me cry when we were leaving. She called us at the airport in tears because she was so sad and didn't remember that we had said good bye to her. They did great (besides their naughty times anyway :) ) and loved spending time with Grandma and Gramps. I'll add pictures of our trip in my next post!

A few days before we left, our cars engine died. Done. Over. We had it towed to the shop and they looked for engines to put in it and to see the cost of it. Again, being rescued by my parents, they offered to let us borrow their car temporarily while we figure out what we were doing. That was a HUGE burden off our shoulders since it helped us not worry about that at all while we were gone. However, now being home, it's been crazy trying to look at cars and figure out what's going to be the best decision for us.

While we were gone, Arlie's grandma died (his mom's mom). She had cancer and it was expected although much sooner and more sudden than anyone thought. The week we got back, we ended up having a wake and funeral to attend. Later in that week, I found out that my good friend, Lynn's, cancer is back and she has two tumors that she needs removed. Today they are removing them. Ultimately God is so good and through everything he's given us peace and calm in the midst of this thing we call life! It's always amazing to me, His timing and how He always provides and always allows us to lean on Him so we don't have to worry or carry our own burdens!
