Updates

Ok it has been a LONG time. So long that I don't even know what has happened that I need to update everyone on. Let's see......we had a youth group lock-in a few weeks back and that was a total BLAST! It was officially the stinkiest of all lock-ins that we have ever done. My house stunk of "feet funk" it was so gross! The next day Matt bought Lysol, Febreeze, and Carpet Fresh to get rid of the smell. We took the teens on a Traveling Scavenger Hunt. Then we ended up in Ogallala and bowled and then came back and played games and wii and playstation 3 etc all night long. Two days later we had the Super Bowl Party at our house. Our house was once again packed out. Thank goodness the "feet funk" smeel was gone and it now smelled like carpet fresh! We were all very sad that the Cardinals lost! Oh well they made it and that's what counts!!! We went to Camp Machasay one day and toured there and that was a blessing. Two baby goats were born right before we got there so that was fun. Jordon has gone back to MN and has made the decision to make MN his home. We are sad about that but we know he is seeking God and obeying God as hard as it is. Matt was invited to speak at a Valentine's banquet this weekend and that was a blessing!
Matt made a very fast trip to AZ. He flew down on a Tuesday night. Looked at carpet machines all day Wednesday. Bought a carpet cleaning machine late Wednesday afternoon and rented a Uhaul Truck to haul the machine back and started the long trip home. We are now the owner's of Matt's Carpet Cleaning. Do you need your carpet cleaned? Matt would be happy to come and steam clean your carpets if you are in the Imperial area. The boys went to Districts for Bible Quizzing and they did not do so well as far as placing. Like Matt said though they are all winners because they have hidden God's Word in their hearts and that makes them winners! We had women's Bunco a few weeks blast and that was at the Lamar Fire Department and it was a total blast as usual. We have been keeping busy with our normal church stuff as well. I continue to teach a monthly women's study and Matt teaches a monthly men's study and we also do a monthly marriage study. I also get to attend a Bible Study on Wed nights when Austyn is at youth group. I really enjoy being able to attend this study it is a Kay Arthur study and as many of you know her studies are amazing!We are continuing to pray and ask God to open the doors for Club Selah. We were told we may need a $50,000fire sprinkler system and so we are trusting God to bring in the finances. The boys are busy with school and getting ready to start soccer and preparing for Regionals in Bible Quizzing. They also enjoy helping Matt with carpets when it works out for them to be apart. Trucking is very slow for Matt his truck has not moved in going on 4 weeks. So we have become very close as a family. It is now time for Matt to start going back to work! LOL!! I am taking a group of teen girls to an all girl christian teen conference called REVOLVE TOUR this weekend. It is a ministry of Women of Faith. So I would appreciate prayers for that. I think that is about it for now. Love you guys!
