Celebrate w/ Us Our New Addition!!!

The Lord has provided for the 5 of us soooo well, and now he is adding to our home!! What a joy this new arrival will bring!! Every new arrival is to be celebrated when you are sooo far from home! We realize some might not think this is the best time or place for a new one, but we couldn't be happier! No more long days of waiting for our clothes to dry. That's right, our new arrival will be a dryer! Is that Awesome!?! Sorry about the play on words! No new babies on the horizon, but the Lord may bless us again some day! We are sure loving the 3 He has already blessed us so much with, and would welcome more when and if that is in His divine plan for our family! Back to what we are celebrating now, the past 6 months without a dryer have been a fun change from the American way of life (and I actually mean a fun change). It was kinda like stepping back in time, but when you are given one far be it from us to want to fight a new addition to our home that will make things easier!! Plus it was given to us, and you can't beat that! Don't get me wrong we are still going to hang our clothes out to dry most of the time when we can, electricity is super expensive here. We we actually aren't changing our habits too much. We've had it for a week now, and used it once to dry half a load. It sure will be nice to have when the weather is not nice, and drying laundry in the house will take up to 48 hours again. Gone are those days! What a sweet gift to our family from a gracious all loving God. We hadn't asked for one either, which just is another reminder to me to know that He is looking out for our needs/wants better than we possibly could! Phil 4:13 "My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
Rejoice with us!!!

There's our new gift on the left behind the fan, and our two drying racks out on our balcony! When it's nice the clothes have been drying so quickly! Which is fantastic!













New to us and raring to go!

You stink pot! You fooled me for a minute there...

I just got back from PA where it can be humid, and with a dryer things take longer and get that must smell (especially towels). Can't imagine how hard it is to wait 48 hours for clothes to dry and the maze through your living space.

For some reason I'm having a hard timw getting Skype onto my computer. I do want to be able to talk to you guys. I miss you.
