I know that I am late posting. This week was end of month. Thursday was our last day to get everything in for this month, I left work and I cried. I was just tired of things. I felt like I had planned ahead and got some things worked out, but our Track and Trace system got messed up. We were seeing shipments that hadn't been exported from Europe when others could see that it had cleared customs on being imported here in the United States. Big mess up. But it is all behind me. The song by Karen Peck, Will you hold my while I cry? I wanted to hear that so bad because that was just how I felt. Not to mention that I started that day....man do I miss that year when I did not have to worry about those things....hopefully soon Lord willing I will go through that again!!!
Mariano's mom is doing a whole lot better! She is at home and sounds so much better on the phone. Mariano rented a movie this weekend. I think that was our 5th one so far this year. THANK THE LORD...that is all in another blog, but it was Under the Moon but I think the actual name to go and rent it is in Spanish. But the movie was about a mom who came to the US illegal. She left behind her mom and her son. Her mom was very sick but she had to make money for her family. Her little boy always wanted to come over here to be with her. Finally one day her mother died and the little boy found a couple that would smuggle him into the US. The mom and the son end up together but it was a movie for the "US Government" to see how the immigrants feel. I cried alot in it, because the boy could have died trying to get through customs. It makes me think of how Mariano crossed. He has told me about it several times and I just can't imagine.
We had Carter and Aydan's picture taking Thursday night. They were all in a good mood, us adults were too...lol. But the boys did really good. They would smile for the camera and then as soon as the flash went, they would look up at the camera and see what they looked like. We were all amazed at how the hole 'shooting' went. I was proud of them.
VBS starts tomorrow. I am really nervous. Even though I teach the younger class at church, I still get nervous. Sure I can mess up and they might not even catch it and sometimes they ask questions that I do not have the answer too, but I did do one of the stories in Sunday School. My 'fruit' is joy. One of the stories was the shepherd who lost his lamb. He had to leave the 99 and go seeking for the other one. So while he is seeking, Shelly wants to know where did he put the other 99 sheep. So I had my felt board out, which is so easy for them to learn with, and I told her that they was in a fence. So Abigail points out that the "99" were not in the fence on the board. It took a lot of convincing to continue on with the story. But I have mentioned that I have been looking for that candy coin money. I want to use it in Sunday School for a lesson with the fish and two coins but I could never find it. Finally I found it, so I bought some for VBS because I have a story that that could go with. I am thinking about doing something like a relay with my story. Not for sure yet...so just pray for me and the others that are teaching!!!

Oh, sorry about your rough day! I really should have worked late Friday because I have so many open issues but I couldn't bring myself too... Sometimes I feel like I die a little more inside every time I answer the phone, but God has blessed me with a good office job and benefits. But its hard to remember that when I listen to customers all day. I hope next week is better for you!!!
And yes, the boys were EXCELLENT @ Olan Mills.
You'll never believe what I had for lunch on Friday?!? El Paso - again! I so love that place.
Hope you have a better week at work. As far as starting I'm right there with you girl ! I'm glad the pics turned out wonderful ! VBS here we come !
I hope you have a better week this week. and you will do fine with bible school.
You did great teaching VBS last night. I like your personality and the fact that you use enthusiasm with the kids, which is important.
It's neat that Aydan and Carter have their pix made together... I'm sure Nana LOVES that. I'm sure they'll turn out great, how could they not with such cute kids?
We've never tried to do grandkids pix professionally for Mom and Dad. We have done candids WITH Mom and Dad but with 8 grandkids, someone's ALWAYS looking away in every shot. Oh, well....
We're still praying for you guys. Every night. Love ya'll.
You did great on your lesson and I can't wait to see the pictures.
