Anyone want to keep this poor dog?

Yesterday morning I was letting Java outside to do her thing before I left for work and there was this black lab puppy (so I thought) in our front yard. It was so scared and incredibly thin. Justin and I both tried to catch it to see if it had a tag on the collar but were unsuccessful. When Justin got home from work our neighbors across from us had caught it and quickly brought it to Justin asking him to keep it for the night. This dog is so sweet. It’s a boy and it looks to be a pit/lab mix about 4 to 5 months old. We think it’s blind and it is severely dehydrated and hungry. Today we hope to take it to the Vet to find out if this poor thing has a chance. He was so sweet. He didn’t make a peep all night. He is potty trained and can sit and give you his paw. Please help me pray that his blindness is only temporary and that he doesn’t have anything seriously wrong with him that isn’t fixable. This little guy is so sweet and he deserves a chance.

Someone doesn’t like the laptop idea

Hey all, it appears that there is a certain someone who is not liking the idea of Justin and I having laptops. Poor Java, she just comes up to me now and stares with this sad look when I’m online. It used to be just “daddy” that was on the laptop all the time but now, since I’ve been off for awhile, I’ve been on it more to pass time. Poor girl, I guess I better go take her for another walk. Here comes the whining… (from her of course hehe).

Bonnie’s got a laptop

Hey everyone, I’ve finally got what I’ve wanted for a long time to use while I’m in school…a laptop. I’m sure you’ve seen on Justin’s blog that he has gotten a new laptop. This means he had to do something with the existing laptop and he knew better than to try to give it to someone else 😉 Now I will have something to take to class this coming semester to take notes on and keep me busy instead of paper and pencil. I almost feel guilty since we now have two laptops but I know they won’t go to waste.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope that you are enjoying some turkey/ham and plenty of other yummy goodies with family today. Don’t forget to go to bed early so you can be up before the crack of dawn to shop shop shop.

God has been so good to Justin and I this year and every year. Many of you know that we are planning to go back to Russia in March and our team needs to raise $28,000 in less than 5 months. God has blessed our team with almost half of the funds already. Many prayers have been answered for our family and church family. God is just so good. We have food to eat, a place to sleep, jobs, loved ones, and good health. There are just too many blessings to even name. I hope you remember to take just a moment to stop and truly thank God for all that He does for us everyday.

Thank you

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I’ve had a great birthday. I got to see my family last Friday (a surprise visit by Erin and Walker). My nephew is growing up so fast. He speaks in complete sentences and of course he is adorable. I got to go to the Cheesecake Factory for the first time on Saturday with my Church Family. It was incredible but very filling. Justin has been really sweet to me. I even got to go out to lunch with my GWU Family. I wish Matt and Megan could have made it but I know how crazy things are on their end right now. (We missed you). I hope to see David, Lorraine, and Stacey soon. It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten to visit.

I love you all!

Just Happy to Be Here

This morning I went through not one but two car accidents before getting work. They had just happened within minutes before I came upon the scene. I am so thankful today that God protected me. He directed my path so I was just a little behind this morning. I pray that God will be with those that were involved in the accidents. Thank you God for watching out for me.
