August 15, 2012

Last year on this date I helped my Mom and Dad do 3 bushels of corn. Mark and I had planned to take a vacation to Alaska since the year 2012 we had some things to celebrate. One being married for 30 years on January 30. But as you know sometimes we ask God for some thing but, he has other ideas. Like going into mission work and finding your self in New Mexico with the Navajo!

The other celebrations you will have to do the math. Coming from PA, which was the 2nd state to join the USA.(So back in 1976 when USA celebrate 200 years old so did PA) and now living in a state who this year is celebrating its 100 years as a state. On August 15, I turn half as old as the state of New Mexico! And where do we go, but to the Aztec Ruins(is there a joke in this).

We also went to Durango,CO and had a nice lunch at Gazpacho. We didn't think we would get to Durango because the mission truck is in need of new tires. God work it out, the night before Duane and Diane handed us the keys to their Jeep.

What a birthday "Durango in a Jeep"! What more could you ask for!

Last year I was having a hard time with what age I would be this year. I prayed about it because I didn't want to be negative about it. Here is how God answer my prayers!

1) Our home church this years theme is the year of Jubilee(and the Church is not 50 years old)

2)We ended up in a state who is 2x my age this year

3) August this year has a blue moon(you only turn this age once in a blue moon!)

4) I know there will be more to come!
