Snow Day

 
 
 
 
I'm not sure if you know this or not, but today is actually the last official day of summer. Tomorrow kicks off autumn and what better way to show that its here than to snow. I'm putting these pictures on here because it is a little odd that it snowed this much this soon. Leola is from Michigan so she should be used to it (you would think, right?) but she's not. She hates the snow! Haha....I love it.

Well, its bed time so talk to you soon. God bless

 
 
 
 
More pictures of the Harvester's rally in Las Vegas, NM. Have a great day.

Harvester's Rally '09

Hello everyone. Leola and I just got back from Las Vegas, NM today for the Harvester's Rally that the church has annually. What a powerful three days we had down there. There were pastors from all over the country at the rally, and even one from Panama was able to make it. I never really was able to see how urgent the need for God in the world is until this Harvester's.

Aside from hearing from many blessed pastors and feeling renewed, meeting new people was a very cool thing. The opportunity to fellowship and eat lunch and talk and hang out with new friends (ultimately brothers and sisters) was one of the many highlights of the trip.

Leola and I were mentioned as the first couple in our church here in Trinidad to be married, and even had our pictures up on the bulletin board and in a DVD as well. We are very blessed to have so many new friends and a church family that cares for our blossoming marriage.

I will post more pictures of the Harvester's and of friends later on. For now, here are just a couple of pictures. God bless!

My Masterpiece

I finally got to finish the cage that I was building for our parrot last night. It took a while to build but the finished result is totally worth the sweat I had put into it. I cannot say that I did all the work myself, though. I have to give thanks to my dad and my wife for helping me when I needed it.

Check it out and let me know what you think. I might have to put another door on it one of these days. I didn't take into consideration that our arms are nowhere near long enough to get to the top of the cage. I guess that's the name of the game lol.

By the way, we finally came up with a name for the parrot. I think Fry fits him well, don't you think?

What a great weekend

We're back from visiting mom and dad down in Rio Rancho. It was really nice to get away from the monotony here at home. One reason we went down to visit is because we had found out last Tuesday that Leola miscarried. Mom had suggested that we go down to stay to keep our minds off of the bad news. It worked. We got to hang out with the family, and I (PJ) got to fabricate most of the cage for our parrot. Even though we didn't do much to occupy our time, spending time with family is so much better than doing something that is distracting.

There are a lot of prospects for a young couple such as us in Rio Rancho. Leola could finish school down there for her cosmetology licence and I could possibly start an apprenticeship for HVAC or even go back to school. We have a lot of thinking and praying to do before we make a sure decision.

Just want to thank you all for your prayers. It really helped us through our hard time dealing with the miscarriage. But keep us in your prayers still. We will be trying to add to our family again soon!

Until next time. God Bless
