A Post Just Because

Because I want to blog and I have nothing of great importance to blog about, I am going to share some random tidbits of life from the Washington Walkers home.

~~I miss our friends, Karen and David. They came into our lives about 5-6 years ago, but have since moved away. They are the kind of people that love just to love and they loved our family, especially the kids. Well they still love our family but now they do it with a distance of 2000 plus miles between us. Life is sometimes not fair.

~~Justin, Matthew, Cayla, Audrey, Lucas, Tim, Robert, and Katie are currently sitting at the kitchen table playing Settlers of Catan. It is a new game we came across when we were conferencing at Cannon Beach. Tim fell in love with it, came home, and ordered it for our family. It is a different sort of game, but one full of action and adventure that most of our family can play.

~~Last week Katie Jane fell asleep with gum in her mouth. And guess what? She awoke with a big, nasty wad of gum and tangles in her beautiful, long locks. I was only a bit successful at getting it out with peanut butter. Unfortunately, I did have to cut some of her hair, but Papa hasn't noticed...so all is well.
~~Tim and I trekked to Exit 111 this past Wednesday...just the two of us. It was a spur of the moment, spontaneous act that both of us were glad we decided to do. Exit 111 ensures the utmost pleasurable shopping experience. It consists of Home Depot, Costco, Sportsman's Warehouse, Wal-Mart, Office Max, Cold Stone Creamery, Harley Davidson, and most importantly...Cabela's!!! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!!! On this particular day, we only visited Cabela's and I came away with two new (very needed) coats and a pair of wool gloves. I felt very spoiled and loved.

~~When we get out of debt, we are going to take the family to The Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, Washington to celebrate our new found freedom. Last week we were able to take 150 rocks out of our rock jar...representing $1500 of debt paid off. I thank God often for His wisdom and guidance in leading us in this direction. I also thank Him for a husband who is leading and teaching his family about smart financial decisions.

~~I am out of thoughts and Tim is now laying beside me in bed reading WORLD magazine. He is patiently waiting for his laptop so he can check his email. I am signing off and saying...Good Night, Sleep Tight and Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite. Alright?
