Semester 1 done

Todd and I are exhausted!

We have completed our first semester.

We live 60 miles from school,

At times it was very tiring. To do lawn work all day,

and then go to school at night was a new challenge for us....

...but we are very thankful for GOD bringing this opportunity into our lives.

We are also very thankful....

for the men at Bible Baptist Church of DeLand

who gave of themselves and time away from their families

to teach a class or two,

for those that brought dinner for us from time to time after class,

for the church members at DeLand who encouraged us

with their words and by praying for us,

and for Pastor Knox's faithful study of the BIBLE

and desire to help

train others to serve GOD faithfully.

We will start it all over again in September!!

2 Timothy 2:15

STUDY to shew thyself approved unto GOD,

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

rightly dividing the word of truth.

I know these pictures might appear as though I have free time on my hands. But, I really don't. I have 3 more final tests to end this semester, and I am studying hard. I help Todd with his lawn service during the day time. He has a lot of work.
There are times that I find to spend with Bear. I was almost 9 when he was born. I am his 'sister-mother'. :) My mom found some workboot socks for Todd on sale recently. She bought all they had, which was a lot. They had been $9 for 2 paris, she got them for $1.20 for 2 pairs. Todd has socks to share now! Here is what happens when we pulled the stickers off of the new socks. It was just one of 'those' days. :)

After church on Sunday nights, we usually go out to eat. We are a little over an hour from home. We have enjoyed going to FRIENDLY's in DeLand. The servers there are soooooo nice! Shelly is usually our server, we really enjoy her! Every one there is very nice, from the manager on down. It is fun to walk in and hear them say, "we have been waiting for you." Bear gets a sundae with his kid's meal. He lets Shelly pick which one, and what kind of ice cream, and what kind of toppings. He loves what she picks. This week she make him......

The CLOWN Sundae (cherry nose fell off for the picture). She picked mint chocolate chip, birthday cake and cookie dough ice cream. For the toppings she picked M&Ms, sprinkles, and pound cake bites. Bear was once again very happy with her selection! We will probably see Shelly, and the crew at Friendly's this coming Sundae night, also. :)

Tuesday Thoughts

Bear and I have hamsters. He has a Teddy Bear hamster named, what else, TEDDY BEAR. My hamster was named Lady Josephine, or JO for short. Last week, Jo died. This week, my mom and Bear went to get me a new one. When they went to our pet store, there was only 1 female to pick from. Mom was glad about that, she was dreading having to choose just 1. Mom was tickled that the only female happened to be a long haired golden hamster, or as mom said, "SHE IS BLONDE". :) Bear and mom named her......
