House and Museum

To keep from having "Cabin Fever" the kids and I have decided that we would try to find some fun things in the area to do. Last week, we drove to Waco and went to the Mayborn Museum at Baylor University. It was so much fun for the kids. It reminded me of when I was a kid going to "Discovery Place" in Columbia, SC.
Within the museum there were many different things that captured the history of Texas. This was a longhorn that they had on display.
I have had a few request of some of my friends and family to see what the house looked like. I have decided to put it in a little bit at a time. This is a picture of our pool at night. We have just converted it in to a salt water pool. They say it is better for your skin, so we are very thankful to have it.
This is the back area overlooking the pool. It is one of my favorite spots in the house. I can not wait until it gets cooler outside so that I can sit out here and enjoy being outside. I hope everyone is doing well. Hope you have a great day!

Texas

I am back!!! I am sorry it has been so long since my last update. It has been crazy busy with moving, getting the house ready, running the kids around, and much more. I hope everyone is well. It has been interesting getting to know Central Texas. In the mist of many cornfields and sunflower fields there is a town called Belton. Here there are many Mexican Restaurants, a Walmart, along with a FEW other things that really have no real significance. This is a watertower going into the town.

On the Forth of July we went to the Belton Parade. This was quite a experience. There were many horses and cars, but nothing topped the ancient, old man that road on a lawn mower pulling about 30 wagons behind him with all of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren sitting in the wagons. It was quite a site to see. It was the happenin' place though. I was in the mist of everyone within a 100 mile radius of Belton. We had fun though. After the parade we went to a cookout at one of our neighbors house. That was nice to meet some of the people in the area. They were a military family that worked at the hospital with Wilma.

In the evening we went to Fort Hood to "Freedom Fest." It rained out so we went back on Saturday and saw the Infantry band play and got to see lots of beautiful fireworks. It was really neat and We all had a great time. Pictured here is Chris, Sydney, Joshua, Wilma, and "Papa" (Chris' dad).
Please be in prayer with me as I search for a church family and for friends. It has been a challenge getting used to this move. I still know though, "My God will supply all (my) needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and eve. Amen" I love and miss you all. I hope you have a wonderful day!
