Just wanted to touch base and let everyone know I am great! Other than Ryan's bike wreck he and Laura are fantastic. They found a church and made some friends and are busy every weekend. David went to float the river this weekend and all is well with him. No new pictures, but will try to take one of the cath lab soon. Gotta run and catch up on ironing and make my lunch before tomorrow......

Finally got to see Laura's face! She called me earlier on Skype. An answer to prayer. My computer was not working. I was able to fix the glitch just before she called. How awesome is our God that he would show me how to work on a computer just in time to hear and see my precious daughter! I'm going to try and stay up late and call her at Midnight, which is 7:00 am her time. BECAUSE tomorrow is Laura Ann's birthday! She will be 25 on the 25th. Now if everyone can please send me $25, I'll donate it to the "Praying Mama Goes To Germany Airline Ticket" Fund. Just kidding....

I may call David early to to tell him happy first day at school. Yeah, A&M starts back up tomorrow, so back to school everywhere here, wonder what the traffic will be like?

I am now employed at The Methodist Hospital, at the Medical Center in Houston. So far so good. Everyone is nice and so helpful. I'm giving it my best shot, lots to learn and more to relearn. Will keep you posted when I can.

Leaving The U.S.A.

August 11th, 3:36 pm. David and I just dropped Dave off at the hospital. Now we are in our cozy apartment, "as Laura refers to it". I will call Laura now.... So surreal, as I said "Goodbye honey, God will take care of you and will be with you", then I hung up the phone. David also bid his sister farewell and then left quickly to run a few errands for us. Blue even seems to miss "Aunt Laura", as he is sitting as close as he can to me and wants to keep his paw on me. It is weird I am wiping the tears and I can't stop them from coming, but there is also a great peace and excitement knowing that my God is with my daughter and He can take better care of her and watch over her more efficiency than I ever could! I can feel the Lord speaking softly to me. God has given me such great assurance that He is in charge and He is with Laura and Ryan. Thank you Lord for this peace and for your precious gift of life.......Thank you God for answering my prayer so quickly!!!!!

Thus it begins, a new yet awesome path!

It begins with pray for my kids as all 3 of us enter the path God has given us.....
David and I will leave shortly to take Laura to the airport and away she will fly to Germany!
It is so exciting for her and of course for Ryan. Then David will leave for College Station, for his last semester! Please pray with me for their safety and protection.....
