Whew it feels like there is a lot going on right now! Also, a lot of answers to prayer. I am so grateful and hopeful for the things to come.
God has a sense of humor. We go and buy a little car to share, and then my sister says we can also use her Camry that they don't need anymore! So, we will be making a trip to Western WA this weekend so I can pick it up, and so Matt can get some camping time in with his brother. He is really excited for the trip, and I am really looking forward to some family and friend time!
More provision: for the past month, we have had a house guest. He is an old friend of Matt's that started a new job out here, and will be moving his family here next month. So for all of July he has been looking for a place to rent and found the place recently. He also insisted on paying us for his stay. This gift will translate into a little getaway for us to Montana next weekend. I was not sure we could go because of car issues and a lack of funds and now we have both! Thanks God!
More answers to prayer: Matt decided on a grad school! I am so excited for this journey of his. Once he gets things all squared away with the school, we will share more about it. If things go as planned, he will start August 23rd. Matt is still looking for a part-time or full-time job too, so please pray for all applications that he has out there right now :)
So we are gearing up - for his grad school (overhauling the office to make it a place he can really work in), our yard project is in full swing (fixing some finicky sprinkler issues and hauling out more weeds and such) and we are getting the Bronco fixed to sell it. It feels good to take action with all this stuff.
Still trying to work on the details for a marathon. Since it will be Matt's first we want it to be a special one, and we want to register for one soon so that we have a goal in site. The only drawback to the DC one is that we would have to do some fund raising for the charity partner (which should not be a draw back at all - it is for Africa, but I do worry about how much time and effort it will take....)
So, that is the update. I am giddy with joy over the upcoming trips home and to MT. I really need a vacation!
Happy Tuesday, all ;)

God answers every prayer, either yes, no or wait. Sometimes the wait is harder than the no but recognizing that He is the one that provides is what gives you the ability to have peace while waiting (hope that makes sense). Every one of these provisions is just making your testimony that much stronger!!!
I'm getting the guest room ready today! Can't wait to see you!
God is good! I'm so glad you're able to see your folks and the car issues all worked out, how stressful, and yet, what a great reminder of how good God is!
Praise! :o) I'm SO SO SO happy for you both! :o)
God does the neatest things doesn't He? :) He took care of us this week too.
So so so happy you get to go home!
(((Hugs)))
YAY! PRAISE JESUS!
