We Got Some Wheels

Hey all!

It's been a while since I have posted last. A lot has gone on since! So in our past post we explained about our car issues. Well, it took FOREVER but it is semi taken care of! YAY! We couldn't fix our Saab in time for me to go back to work ( I missed a lot ) and we have been thinking of getting a new car anyways because everything seems to go wrong with the only one we had ( not very reliable ). Anyway, we spent a LONG time looking for another car and we were getting pretty discouraged seeing as we were borrowing our friends car almost every day while she was at work and I needed to get back to work ASAP. Well we found a car on craigslist and...YAY...it worked out! It's a 1994 Mitsubishi Giamante ( Pictures to come ) with good mileage and it looks band new! It is loaded and the man who sold it to us has taken GREAT care of it. We got it for a steal! It had an issue with it but its fixed and as good as knew. We are so blessed! God provides! We are still without the Saab, but Dan thinks he can get it fixed soon. We'll see though...these are busy times with Dan starting school and us both working.
So We took Duke for his first walk off of his leash this week! He is SUCH a good boy! He doesn't go far and he always comes when he is called. We are so lucky. He reminds me of another dog I hold dear to my hear (Sarah-Lee)...I miss her. We also found out that Duke LOVES the water, so we have decided that we will take him once or twice a week to the lake!
We also have some visitors in our house! We have foster kids!Aren't they cute?! They are 4 weeks old and were abandoned. We will be keeping them until they are 2lbs ( old enough to be adopted out ) and then they will go back to the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare. Needless to say, Dan and I are in love!

And one last thing... I got my hair cut and colored! What do you think???

A Public Testimony of His Faith

Hey!
We finally have internet again! It felt like forever, but it has only been a couple of weeks (haha). So, we have some exciting news! Dan got baptized this past Sunday! He did great and Pastor Phil survived despite how tall Dan is ;-). Alameda Baptist Church is the best thing that has happened to us since we were married. God is SO good! We already have great friends, and people we can call our family away from home. We see God working in our lives every day, down to the smallest things.
So, for those who don't know, our car has broken down. We called Kyle and asked him if he could come over and help us with the car/give Dan a ride to a meeting. Well he was a GREAT help! We couldn't quite figure out what was wrong so Dan called my dad and asked him what he thought. Dad said that he thought it was the fuel pump. So Kyle and Dan start working on the "fuel pump" not knowing that the whole time...it was the fuel FILTER that they were working on...and the reason they couldn't get the screw undone was because when you are upside down under a car...you turn the ratchet THE OTHER WAY. It was SO funny! Anywho... We were stuck and thinking of what to do when all of a sudden this guy who lives near us and his girlfriend come over and ask if we need help (he is a mechanic). HOW PERFECT! So he listens to the car and thinks it is the fuel filter...so we get the fuel filter and Doyle puts it on for us. It still doesn't start. Guess what he decided the problem was?! The FUEL PUMP! NEVER DOUBT DAD when it comes to cars haha. So he calls the parts store and they tell him it is a special order (of course, its a Saab) and that we cant get it until Thursday. Dan and Kyle ordered it at another place, and it was here today! Wicked cool! So...Doyle said he will put it in for a fraction of the price that we were quoted at all of the other shops. God sent! This is just one more thing that we could have stressed out about to no end..but we knew God provides, and that it would work out. And boy did it!
