If people in the world would realize that there Is a Heaven and a Hell. Today would make it a little bit more convincing that they really do NOT want to go to hell!! I am glad that I am on my way to NO humidity and streets of gold!!
Today has been an odd job day. I have taken down curtains, washed them and ready to pack them away. I unscrewed some shelving from our walls in the basement so that this done and ready to go when we leave. We have recorded on our new album to come a little. I mowed the yard this morning. And got all of the paper work done for the up and coming concerts through July!! YEAH!! Now we have about 2 hours before we need to get ready for church. I am sure that I will find something to do and work on until then!!
Hope that all of you out there are having a good day. We sure appreciate your prayers. Keep Mark in them especially as he has to work SO hard on getting the album tracks made. So that they are ready for us to lay vocals when we can!! We are both starting to feel the pressure of all that needs to be accomplished in the next 2 months. Thank you in advance for your prayers.
I will try and write to you soon. Don't forget about the concert with Great Vision coming up. You will not want to miss them!! They are GREAT!! See the front of our website for more details. Take care and remember..........................Keep on keeping on for the Lord!
God Bless,
Andrea

Paint, Paint and MORE Paint!!!
This is all that I have done for the last 3 days!!! I found a headboard for our new house for the guest room at Salvation Army!! All that it needed was a little love and care. So I sanded it and painted it and now it looks like new! Tyler's toy chest needed to be painted while to match his new room so I did this too. I had a night stand that I had used for the guest room that needed to be painted white to now match the white headboard. So I painted that. Then I have shopped all over to find a Black under the cabinet can opener. CANNOT BE FOUND!! So I made do and it worked. I bought some plastics paint and painted my old white one and now it is clean and like new!!! For only, $3.87!!
Plus I needed a black trash can, but did not want to pay $13.00 for one right now so. I used my leftover paint from the can opener and painted my trash can black too!!
I have one more paint project to go, but I ran out of paint...........again!!! So I have to get more later.
Now I am working in the office doing Cd's and all of that fun stuff!! I have not worked down here in a long time. And it is starting to show!!
I am down to about 4 loads of clothes to be caught up!! Now I get to start all over!! YEAH!! I love my new washer and dryer. Especially my dryer, it does NOT sound like there are 10 pairs of shoes in there!!!
Well, we are getting ready to grill out and have a family picnic, outside!! With watermelon and everything......mmmmmmmmmmm!!!NO!! You are NOT invited!! Just kidding come on over, but you better hurry it is going to go FAST!!
Thank you for your prayers and support to us. Keep on Keeping on for the Lord!!

OH! MY!!!
I had a yard sale and guess where I was today??????Goodwill and Salvation Army!!! At 1:00 a.m. this morning we arrived home and was trying to get Tyler to bed. Only to find while I was getting ready for bed. Tyler came from his room around the corner with the front of his dresser drawer in his hands!!! So I guess someone needs a new Chester drawers!! I was doing his new room in sports theme anyway and knew that I could paint one. So off to the stores I went. I have not found one that was reasonable yet or one that would really work, but we are still looking! While I was trying to find a deal, I found something else though. We also needed a headboard for our guest room in the new house. And we needed a new frame. I found a headboard that is very do-able and paint able for $14.99 and brand new frame for $50.00. Not to bad. So we think that we have this accomplished now we need a dresser.
Also to top it all of my washer quit!!! So off to ABC warehouse I went too. We found a good one and had to get it. We had a little bit of money to work with, but you are never ready for something like this to creep up on you. I know that the Lord will take care as He always does. They will deliver it tomorrow. And then to work I must go!! I have about 11 loads to wash!! YEAH!! It actually quit Friday. So you can imagine the clothes that I have from then until now!!
I am off to go look some more while Tyler is asleep and Mark is at home. Thank you for your prayers and we will try and let you in on some more of our wonderful,VERY eventful lives!! HA! Thank you again and may the Lord bless you in all that you are doing for Him!!

Work until the day is done!!!
We often sing the song and sing the words " We'll work til' Jesus comes" well I have been doing so many odd things and working until late that I have been saying...........Come Lord......QUICK!!! Haha!!
Mark's mom stopped by the other day with a little tike's picnic table for Tyler. She got it for a DOLLAR!!! What a deal. All that it needed was a good coat of paint. So off to the hardware store I went and got me some of the new plastic paint that Krylon makes. I LOVE this stuff. I have fixed several things now for Tyler and it makes them look like new!! So for just a few bucks he has a little table all for himself!!(thank you grandma!!) We had a picnic together today on it and he thought he was so big. I told him that when I got done mowing the yard that I would play with him and we would eat lunch together. So we did. He made sure that I stayed seated too. I got up a couple of times and he would say. DOWN!!!!DOWN!!!! He did not want me leaving. He is such a ham.
The Lord gave us such a beautiful day that we decided to grill tonight. So Mark grilled him a steak and he grilled Tyler and I chicken!! MMMM!!! It was so good. We had some corn on the cob, garlic bread and cheesy potatoes!! YES!!! I it was as good as it sounds even if we did make it! We ate on our patio and enjoyed dinner together outside while we also were entertained by Tyler. As you can imagine.
Oh, one more blessing I almost forgot to share. We were in the process of looking for Tyler a toddler bad and guess where I found one...........RIGHT! Walmart!! However they run around $40.00 so we thought that we would hold off for a little bit longer. Until Mark's mom called today and said that she had been out at some yard sales and saw some beds. But she did not think that it was what I wanted. She described it and it was EXACTLY what I wanted. She said I think that they had $10.00 on it. YEAH!!! We were headed to get Tyler a bed. Only to find that when we arrived it was still there but it was NOT 10.00 it was...............$3.00!!!!!!!!Yeah Thank you Lord. HE IS SO GOOD!!! Plus it already had the protection rail on it too!!! It needed a little touch up paint so back to the hardware store I went! Bought it, painted it and it looks like new. It is a white metal bed. This will go great for his new room. It is a sports theme.
Well, I am going to go for now. It is Tyler's bath time and he REALLY needs one. He has been playing outside with me today while I was painting everything.
Keep us in your prayers. Long weekend this week, lots of driving........for Mark. And late nights! Thank you!
Remember to keep on keeping on for the LORD!!

Life is GOOD!!!
Howdy,
Tyler had his test today and all is o.k. for now! We will have more test in 6 months. They said that he was growing well and said that his weight was more than good. As a matter of fact they said to lay off the PIZZA!!! But, that is his favorite food!! He and I had a picnic on our front porch yesterday and he had Little Cesar's pizza and I had a salad. Then we went to the pet store. He loved the rabbits and the parrots. Although he liked them we did not come home with anything. And "NO" DO NOT send him any animal!! HA HA!!
Praise the Lord!! My yard sale went well. I made enough to buy all of our blinds, curtains and rods for our new house!! I was so excited to know that we could do this without breaking us and our budget. The Lord was so good!. I went shopping yesterday and got all that I needed and ordered. We are on our way to a new house!! We are so excited. PLEASE pray that the Lord will provide the money to do Mark his studio in the basement in our new house. He will need a good portion to do it the way it needs to be done, and sound proofed!! We know that the Lord will provide!! He always does.
We are working kind of slow today. We are still trying to recover from the trip and our schedule since we have been home. Thank you for your prayers and support to us.
We are going to have a family night tonight and it is VERY much needed!!! We will talk to you soon. Enjoy the beautiful day that the Lord hath made!!

Home Again!!
Wow!! What a day....................and morning that we had Monday and Tuesday morning!! We are still trying to recover today from the trip to Scotland. I am getting ready to pack for tomorrows adventure to Michigan/ Indiana border!! We have a full weekend and week ahead!! Thank you for your prayers.
We enjoyed the trip greatly. We met some amazing singers. Made new friends and hated to see everyone go. However I had a beautiful and wonderful son to get home to!!! I was starting to miss him greatly. God is good we are all together again!!
We hope that we get the opportunity to go again in the future. The family ( the Watts) that we stayed with was so precious. We became attached to them and will miss them greatly. They did for us whatever we needed and fed us beyond belief!!!
Well, I need to go. I am having my yard sale this weekend too!! So I have to work on that before tomorrow. I will not have much time to tomorrow because of our meeting and I open the sale early Friday. I thought that I needed to do something else besides sit around like we always do.......... YEAH RIGHT!!!! That would be good about now actually!!! HA!!
Thank you for your prayers and may the Lord bless you wherever and whatever that you are doing for Him today!!

I am BACK!!
I cannot believe it!!! I am back once again in Scotland! I would have never dreamed that once I was here and the Lord let me come again! IT has always been my prayer that when I came to Scotland the first time that the Lord would let me return again . WOW!! He has done it again!! The Lord sure does answer prayer as you all know!!
The family that we are staying with are SO sweet!! We have really enjoyed getting to know them and their girls. We had tea with them once again today already and I am sure that we will have it again. I love it!!! We have not gotten Mark to do it yet.........but we will!!! He does not drink hot things alot so we have to break him in to do their traditon before we leave. Of course I love it and remembered from the last time that I was here that they drink tea all the time. It is a great way to fellowship at family homes. So, we will get Mark in on it before we leave!!!
Thank you for your prayers and support. We are getting ready to go with the family now to do some sight seeing. We will fill you in soon. We also have our sound check to do tonight as well. So we will let you all know how all of this goes today!! Thanks again and we wish all of you could be here to support us from the audiance. However we know that you are with your prayers and your heart!! Thank you!!
