Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider what great things he hath done for you.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY


It was so nice to celebrate the 4th of July at Disneyland this year. We went on Tuesday, and came home on Friday. Disneyland had decorated the park with flags and banners throughout the park. On the 4th, they had the Marine marching band, march throughout the park playing patriotic music.  Disneyland had the speakers playing, Yankee doodle, High flying flag, and best of all God Bless America. It was so nice to finally see somewhere that wasn't doing the "politically correct" thing. The girls really did enjoy the shows and fireworks. Like always, its still feels good to come home.....
On that note- We are finally moving into  a new home. We put a offer on another home and it was accepted. I was very heart broken about the other one, but the God makes no mistakes. This house was built in 2006, so nothing is going to have to be replaced for a long time. I am also going to have my own designated homeschooling room. This was a major criteria in looking for a home. Lord willing we will be moving in August 1st. I am floating my interest rate now, and hoping it drops around 3% to lock it in. We shall see...

Sequoia Camping



Its been awhile since I have post. I wanted to post the great news that we were buying our new Victorian house shown below. I was waiting till the tail end of escrow, but unfortunately the owners wife had a stroke last Saturday. The owners then decided to take it off the market. We are praying that if the Lord still wants us to have it, they will put it on the market again. We will have first chance to purchase it again, and lock in same rate, when they are ready to sell.

695 Monroe St, Coalinga, CA

Since I stopped homeschooling, it seems like time is just flying by. We went to Sequoia National Park for our annual camping trip. It was so nice to smell the fresh pine air. Poor Joy fell off the top bunk of the RV in the middle of the night trying to find Julia. Thank God she was perfectly fine. We seen quite a bit of deer, and a bear walking around. It was funny watching the foreigners following the bear in the hills. HELLO, they do attack! I wish I could of took a picture of the Redwood trees. They are so huge, and some date back to Christ. Overall, it was a great trip. We are heading out to Disneyland next week for the 4th of July.
