Long Time, No Post...

Well, it definitely has been a while since i have posted! Lots has been going on, and I just haven't had the time.
For starters...I have a new furnace and c/a!!! Courtesy of my awesome dad! He and my mom were here for 5 days at the end of October putting it in. I had a blast having them here, and Shane and I feel very blessed for my dad's hard work! I just love the soothing sound of the furnace coming on, and sitting in front of the vent! (before we didn't have a forced-air furnace).

Me and Dad the morning they headed back home. I am smiling b/c I have heat, dad is smiling b/c he is done putting in the heat for me! Now he doesn't have a reason to come out to Iowa...guess we will just have to think about giving him some grandkids, so he will have an excuse to come back!

Below are some pics of mom and grandma's visit out last weekend! They made a quick trip out here to celebrate Shane and I's baptism and induction into membership of our church. It was an awesome weekend. We serve an amazing God! I didn't get any pictures of the actually baptism, but basically, we write out our sins, pin them to a cross before we go up to be baptized. There is a huge horse tank with Pastor Dan in it. (yes, the water is warm) Shane and I went into the tank together. We are asked if we believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for us, and that the only way to Heaven is thru Him, we answer 'yes', and then we are dunked! It was a divine experience. Shane and I were both baptized as babies, but felt led by God to be baptized at this time in our life, to show others our faith and the importance of having a personal relationship with Christ.
