What a great week for Spring Break!!! Lots of sunshine, warm temperatures and books to read! WOW!! This is my kind of break—I love to sit out by the pool, read, sip ice tea and eat Easter candy!! And to think that I was wishing for a beach vacation–I got one without the sand right [...]

I have not been ignoring my blog—something was wrong and it wouldn’t let me on. It said something I didn’t really understand—thankfully, my blog master Josh, fixed me and now I’m back up and running! It is nice to have a technologically saavy son to call on.
If you want to see some more of his [...]

Jacob has made the big time— well in San Marcos at least! His sand volleyball team won a tournament so their picture was in the school paper! He said clearly he was more interested in the free food than he was about getting his picture in the paper. I’m glad he’s having fun! I hope [...]

It’s always easy to say that God is taking care of things when everything is going well–it’s another when things aren’t going so well! Things aren’t going so well at the Rives house—after 12 years, Wray’s position was eliminated at work—a sucker punch for sure!
I know that God knows all things and that He is [...]

I got a new laptop for Christmas— I didn’t realize how old and slow my other laptop was until I got this new one! Unfortunately on a new laptop you have to set up all your old stuff; so for me, I have to wait on Wray! I am really good once he has everything [...]

In the last two days I have had the privilege of seeing God’s goodness in action—yesterday Wray and I went to visit two of our special friends who were in our home as foster children. For years we prayed that God would give them a terrific forever family, and He came through in a big [...]
I have had a sore mouth for a month, but after my root canal today I feel good!! – so I am thankful for my dentist! I am also very thankful for insurance-I don’t know how people without insurance can do it.
I am also thankful that Josh is home safe from Zambia. He’s going to start [...]

Thankfully I’m still learning a lot about myself! This weekends trip showed me just how judgemental I am–is it old age? skinny envy? or plain old criticism? Whatever….Las Vegas provided lots of people watching for Wray and I, and of course, we commented on most of them. Before any one gets upset–we commented on their [...]
