Going's on....

It's been a little while since I've written on here. We've had some events this month. Here's the update:

First, the bad news...about 3 weeks ago we got news that my brother and his wife are getting a divorce. It's a long story, but he's doing pretty good and making the best of it. Pray that God would somehow be able to work a miracle in any part of this situation, whether it's healing the marriage or showing himself strong and powerful to both of them and they somehow being able to see the truth about our God. :-)

Goood news about my certification test...I got NIC ADVANCED!!! (There are 3 levels..I got the 2nd level). It was awesome and I'm SO excited that I don't have very far to go until I reach my goal of the highest level before I have kids. :-)

I've been to Wisconsin twice in two weeks...I think that's the most I've been there since I was little. Anyway, the first time we went up was for my cousin's wedding. It was great to see everyone and catch up..I haven't seen some of my cousins in four years and have NEVER met their children in person!!! So, a huge blessing that we got to do that and see everyone. It might be a while before we can do that again.

The second time I went up to the 'Sco was for tea. My mom, her mom and sisters all get together once a year (it's held at a different sister's house every year) and they all have tea, switch recipes, talk and catch up. This year was the first time the married daughters of the sisters were invited (me and 1 of my cousin's). It was SO fun and really great to see my aunt's in a different light. I don't know them very well and I really only got to see them in a adult-child setting....never as adult-adult...so it was really nice to talk to them on a different level and share our lives with eachother.

This weekend we are going to the Marine Corps Ball. I'm so excited!! We always have a blast at there, and there are some people I haven't seen in a while so it will be nice to see them again and have a good time without worrying about work or anything else!!

We're having internet issues at our house right now, but as soon as it's working, I will put up some pics!!
