I'm Driving....

Yep...I am. Drove to the grocery store with the kids. Didn't have money to buy groceries so we toured and then I took them home. Mike called and said I could use my visa card. Drove back to the store and shopped. Got into check out line...forgot that I didn't have my Card with me. Drove back home...got the card....bought the groceries...drove home. Is it any wonder that I forgot two suitcases in Texas? On the positive side...didn't back into anything or lock my keys in the car. So I paid 70 dollars for about 40 dollars worth of food...oh well. At this stage in the game I am just glad we are eating! (and we recognize the food....) (have yet to try camel's milk...can't say it is high on the list)(have also not even seen a camel yet....)

Ok, so we are still furniture shopping. Thought we found our couch and stuff tonite but Mike thought we should bargain cuz they respect that kind of stuff...ummm..nope the guy didn't even bother to respond. Oops. We will probably go back and buy it anyway but it is kind of humbling. :)

Mike and I also went to one of the schools today. They have room for Ryan but not for Sallie and Robert. So we will try the other school on Wednesday. We will see.

Well, it is getting my bedtime. Thanks everyone for your support and love. By the way, looks like we may get our missing luggage sooner than we thought. Some friends of ours who we met thru the Hones are coming back at the end of August and have offered to help us. What a wonderful blessing. The Hones are getting the stuff to them. You know, this has sure been a group effort...in more ways than one. :)

Love, Mattie

Mattie,

I am so glad to know that even half a world somethings never change...you still forget... still pursue your goal (groceries)... still laugh... and most importantly still relay God's love even if it is only a smile... I miss your smile and laugh... :) Love ya, Beth
