not much news

Well it is Friday and we have 6 days until the Atlanta trip. Chris is hard at work getting the last minute knives done. I have spoken to Shelly about what we are doing this year (besides IKEA). Tylee wants to really do IKEA so that is a hot stop on the agenda. We are thinking of the Coke-Cola factory in the city. I think this will be fun. What ever we do will be fun. Blade Show is always fun also. Anyway not much more news, Craig is in lock up still so no visits. His Bible was stolen and I have asked the chaplin to get him another one. The warden did not think I should send one because it would also probably be stolen. (No crime in Our Prison system.) His out date may be effected by the Lock up time but I can not worry about that. Kristen is struggling with growing up. All of the fun things like Rent and utilities. She does not have Cable TV (poor thing) but she will be ok. This was not in the budget. (Mom and Dad won't help with this) Growing up is so hard these days. I don't know how we did it in the old days. (ha ha) any way I'll try and write more this weekend. This all keeps my mind on the bigger picture and not on the upcoming surgery. Thank you all for your prayers. I don't know how people can survive all of life without God and Christian friends.
