Happy Days

Lydia, eating a cheesestick, while waiting impatiently for birthday cake. She kept pointing and fussing at the cake until she finally a had a piece of her own.
Dave's birthday cake. There are 30 candles in the shape of a big 3 0. Nerdy, I know.

(Sorry that my last post was not lined up well. I am still trying to get all this blog stuff figured out. I was dissapointed with the way it turned out. )

We have had a lot of reasons to celebrate these last few days. I am so thankful for a turn of events! :) On Friday our home went under contract and Dave found out that he starts his actual job on Monday!! When I found out all the good news, I started saying Woohoo, Praise the Lord!" Julia joined in by jumping around and saying "Yeah God!" We celebrated the great and exciting news at Olive Garden that evening.

Saturday was free museum day, so we visited the Children's museum here in Houston. It was great fun, and we plan to go back sometime. There was no way we could have seen or explored it all in one day. They are free on Thursday evenings. :)

On Sunday we tried out another new chuch, Sugarcreek Baptist Church. We really enjoyed it, and are praying about what church we should establish as our home church. Sugarcreek is pretty close to where we would like to live, but we will see where the Lord leads us.

Sunday was also Dave's 30th birthday, so we celebrated that by bringing him breakfast in bed, going out to eat after church, eating birthday cake, giving him presents, visiting a neighborhhood park, and making shrimp scampi for dinner. It was a fun and busy celebratory weekend!
