Well, my follow up from my last post took me a little longer than I expected. Whoops!
Many of you thought that they "big change" that I spoke about was that we were expecting our first child. While you were not entirely incorrect (as this is indeed true) this was not the same idea that I was thinking about. Gotcha. ;)
This year, we are looking at building a shop in order to further our business. As many of you probably already know about this, we purchased a lot along highway 59 in Lancaster and began dirt work for the pad this fall. There is still some more dirt work that needs to happen, but we are so happy and thankful that Glenny was able to get as much done as he did. This means that the project will actually be happening this year. Yay!
While I have been at home for the past couple months finishing up school, managing all of our books and payroll and keeping up with the house work, I have been more than busy. Come May, I will graduate from college, so that will be a wonderful burden lifted off of my shoulders! I am so pumped to be able to finish my bachelor's degree in four years, after transferring, getting married, and working full time with Mark. It gives me such a wonderful, warm, fuzzy feeling inside. :)
Mark is staying busy with outside work still. They are putting up a pole shed for Noel Peterson in Red River township west of Hallock. They have a fun time visiting with Noel every day, but are ready to be out of the cold weather! He has, also, been busy with our local fire department. Him and a couple other guys are planning a fundraiser meal and set up awesome prizes to raffle off that evening. If you are interested in purchasing a ticket or two, they are $10 a piece, and I have some with ready for you to purchase!
Basketball has been in full swing for a while now. My brother Dylan is a senior and my cousin Morgan is a junior. I try to make it to as many of their games as I can each week, as my love for the game has not decreased in the slightest. Last night, my cousin Ellie told me that she prayed for me at Good News club last week. Good News club is a Christian after school club where kids in grades K-6 are welcomed to on Wednesday of every week. I asked Ellie what she prayed for me about, and she said "I prayed for your baby!". I literally wanted to cry. What a sweet, sweet soul that little girl has. I love praying for people, but it really makes me feel special when I hear that people are praying for me and my family. What a blessing family and small towns are!
Today, the guys started doing some work on our house, again. We have not had time to trim out the inside of our windows, as it always seems like there is work to be done elsewhere! I was so stinkin' excited! Gahhhhhh!!!
Stop over sometime. I have cookies in the freezer and coffee or tea ready to roll.
