Today is Charlie's birthday. No party hats and cupcakes, though. I guess Marianne only throws birthday parties for her own dog, sheesh. Charlie slept in for his birthday. He kept trying to convince me to give him more food for his birthday, but I didn't. I let him have a carrot though. I told him that he was still too fat and he said, "look who's talking". Not really, Ijust figured that's what he was thinking though.
Church was incredible this morning. Pastor Josh (the youth Pastor) and Pastor Chris were back today from Honduras. They are setting up the mission trip for this summer. I am very excited about going. I am even trying to learn a little spanish before then. I got my passport. It came right at the end of December. I've never had a passport before, so that is cool too. Anyone who wants to contribute to the funds involved in my taking this mission trip are certianly welcome!
In case you didn't already know, Barry is home now from serving in the Army. He has the back bedroom all set up and has enrolled in the Criminal Justice Program at Tri-County Tech. That will certainly give him something to do. I think he has been rather bored and missing his friends. He was looking through his High School yearbook today to see if he could find some of his old friends that might be around by checking for them online. He is going through some transitions. I quess me and Marianne are too. We were spoiled, just having the house to otherselves and our dogs.
Other changes are on the way. Mickie will moving in on February 10. She is coming up this Friday to drop off some of her stuff.
