Blogging vs. Facebook

Hello all my dear blogging friends. I promise that I have not disappeared. Facebook just seems to have taken up more time lately. Sitting here tonight though I could think of nothing that I wanted to do more than come here to update this blog. LOTS of things have happened lately. First we had the "Spokane stomach flu and fever" Half the city seems to have gotten it. It doesn't seem to last long, but you sure feel horrible while you have it. Right after we were better from the flu Rachel was getting down from the trampoline and broke her arm in two places. Both, thankfully are buckly fractures, and did not need to be set. She went in for x-rays today and they said that the bones are lining up nicely. She will have one more set of x-rays next week. The doctors will get together to view them to make sure they all agree that the bones are doing what they are supposed to. They do this because there is only a small window of opportunity to fix the bones if they decide to shift. So far all has been good news though. For the 4th of July we went out to the Harding's property in Idaho. We had so much fun spending the day there with our friends.
Monty is struggling with his back. He has been put on light duty at work. It will hurt the paycheck, but God knows our needs and He knew this was going to happen. Hopefully the light duty work will only have to last for a week and he can be released back to his normal job. In the meantime we are doing everything we can to make sure he heals up. The doctor says his back is strained so no more twisting and lifting for a bit. He has some pain meds that help, but still let him function. We are confident that God is taking care of us and will continue to do so. The Bible tells us that there will be times of testing and struggles, but He never leaves our side. Right now is a great time to know that.
I am continuing to do the paperwork for Best Loading. What a blessing to have that to do here at home. In the fall I will begin teaching full time. I'm so excited for the opportunity that God is giving me to work at Faith Baptist Academy. I can't think of anything I would want to do more. I will miss the teenagers, but I will still be there to help them. For now it is God's will that I work in the elementary and I'm excited and ready to get started.
I guess for now I will get going. I will try to be a little more faithful to my blog. Have a great day.
