Tony's mini-vacation from school has officially come to an end. :) Monday he started three new classes: The Study of Human Nature, Integrated Arts, and Marketing. He plans on taking three classes per semester from here on out. I'm sure it will be a lot of work, late nights, ample coffee, little sleep... keeping things pretty busy for the both of us. But we know that God will provide overflowing grace to us over the next year. There has already been some interesting conversation on the message boards, particularly the philosophy class.
Friday evening we joined my parents, Brittany, and Harry at the new Upper Crust Pizza for dinner (dad's treat). The pizza was so good!! And we enjoyed talking with Harry. From there we went to town to start our search for a new GPS. What happened to our beloved Tom Tom, you ask? Well, last Thursday morning when Tony got in his truck to leave for work, he noticed that the rim around his radio was on the floor of his truck. He asked if I had knocked it off when I started the truck. "Not that I'm aware of." Then he noticed his work ID card laying on the floor of the truck and a container of oil sitting in the seat of his truck. "I know for sure I didn't put that in the seat. I think someone's been in the truck." He takes a closer look at the radio and sees where someone tried to steal it, but they couldn't get it out because it is bolted in a weird way. "What about the car?" I glance through the passenger side window and notice an old keychain sitting in the seat and see that the driver door is unlocked. I walked around the car and noticed the gas tank was opened, which can only be opened from inside the car. Sure enough, someone had broke into both vehicles at some point during the night. It appears that the only thing stolen was our GPS, the cords to go with it, and the transmitter for Tony's Ipod. A sheriff arrived 30 minutes later and a police report was filed. My prayer journal that morning "...Lord, thank you so very much for protecting us! I thank you that only the GPS was stolen. That no personal information was obtained. I thank you for protecting our land, house, and shed. I thank you for giving me much peace...I pray for the individual(s) that did this. May the wicked not get away with their evil deeds...May we not complain. May we trust you and tell of your greatness!! Your faithfulness..." So bye, bye Tom Tom ~ you served us well!
Sunday morning we were reminded of God's faithfulness and purposes in our afflictions and trials. You can listen to the message here: Suffering and Self-Reliance. Tony & I ate a quick lunch, and then went to Sheri P's baby shower. Can't wait to meet baby Phillips! I made him a little pig with a mohawk (per Kevin's request). Haha. We spent the evening at home and finished our little vacation with "The Cove"- an interesting, eye-opening documentary on dolphins.
Yesterday, I joined Mom, Brittany, and Candace on a little excursion to Trader Joes and Whole Foods! We had a great time!!
And today marks seven years of togetherness with my bestest friend! We celebrated with a veggie casserole and lots of school work. ;)

Sorry to hear that someone stole your Tom Tom. We all do need to pray that he will come to know Christ.
I would leave a lot of tracts in the vehile or Bible for them to steal.

'Guerite, it's funny that you mention gospel tracts, we literally have a couple thousand tracts in the car. Some in the glove department, the side pockets on the doors, and lots in the trunk. They were tossed everywhere in the trunk. So the thieves definitely touched, possibly read/took one. That was something that Tony & I got a laugh out of after it happened, "I wonder what the thief thought when he saw all those tracts that say "Are you a good person?" on the front. :)
I am praying that he took some home with him to read it! That would be cool!
