Okay, I'm officially BACK!!! My laptop is working again---hooray! Thanks, Jon. We actually had to have a tech come to the house to figure this one out...I still don't get it.
Tomorrow Megan's furniture arrives and she IS excited. We'll try to be over there around 9:00 to load up the things they won't need for a while and bring them back.
Tonight I worked on laundry, vacuuming, and rearranged my living room shelf and the basket in the entryway, and a couple of other little jobs that have been staring at me for a while. I hope to spend a good amount of time on Sunday on my mending pile...we'll see how that goes!
My doctor appointment yesterday is open-ended...waiting to schedule another test. I liked the doctor and he seemed really thorough. I was in the lab for a test and leaving to go back out to the waiting area when someone said "Well, hi, Luann!" Freaked me out! I turned around to see someone I did not recognize at all. Rather than fake it I put a really blank look on my face, looked at her name tag, back at her face, and said, "Do I know you?" She said her name and then I realized it was my sister's niece on her husband's side. She may have been at my sister's funeral, but I don't remember and before that I have NO IDEA when I would have last seen her. So we hugged and caught up a little...it was nice, but a little unnerving at first!
I would love to have a "thought" but I really need to get ready for bed...getting up about 5:30-5:45 in order to go to breakfast before we leave town in the morning. Good night...sleep tight!!

Moved Again!
Hi, everyone!!! Everything is moving quickly now for Greg and Megan. We helped her move from her 1 bedroom apartment to a 2 bedroom yesterday. Friends went with us with a pickup and trailer so we could bring back some things and get them out of the way. Tre went along with us and was very good help. Next weekend the truck will load in NC and will get to Megan about a week later. The house sale closing is on March 3 and then we'll know very shortly after that how soon Greg will be coming. What a huge relief for them!!! Thank You, Jesus!!!
Tabbi and Tru came for church this morning (Tre was here overnight) and went back home after lunch. I think we're tired. It was pretty quiet around here the rest of the day! Jon and Kelli's family had a very full weekend, too, and sounds like a good time...but I'll let her share!!
I'm still adjusting a little to my glasses, but I like them...now my hair is a little different, too. I did hear rumors about a windfall and makeovers, and I'm good to go as soon as you can get it all lined up, Kelli!?!?
I've got all my pieces in my Blurb project. I may do some rearranging yet, and I will be proofreading for a while. Megan has started to get together some image ideas, so I'm getting really excited. Things will be more hectic at work this week...I'm off for a dr appt on Tuesday and we have open house on Wednesday.
Thought for the day
Our pastor is leaving in three months, and it makes me think about what it is our church needs...pretty hard to put into a simple package to find in a new person, but I will be praying that God gives direction and clarity to those who will be making contacts and decisions. We wish them well...change can be hard, but God is faithful.

More Moving Soon
Tonight I went to praise team practice...substituting on Sunday for one of the other people. It's amazing how quickly your voice gets weaker when you haven't been putting in the extra singing time. I better get things warmed up again before Sunday.
In other good news, Megan can transfer to a two bedroom apartment!! We'll probably go move her on Saturday, then she will be set up and ready when Greg and all their stuff gets here from North Carolina. The only down side is we have to go up to the third floor...but a good friend is coming with to help (thanks again, Brad)! Thank You, Jesus, for putting things into place for Greg and Megan after such a long wait...Your timing is perfect, as always.
I'm still waiting for my glasses to come in....surely tomorrow, right? I'm looking forward to having my glasses right where I need them...on my face!! I hope I look really cool, too!!! :) :)
Thought for the day
I'm not able to think about much on a deeper level without it hinging on prayer. I'm still reading "The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds on Prayer" bit by bit, and it is a powerful encouragement and call to prayer. God limits Himself to our praying in many ways and invites us into the privilege of being a part of His will is in regard to the issues we know or touch. Doc talked with us Sunday, too, about being one with Christ as we pray because He is also always praying. What an amazing thought...sharing His "prayer list". Anyway, pray and don't ever give up praying.

Megan Has Moved!!!
Do you remember how cold it was yesterday? I know today felt colder with the wind, but yesterday was cold. Fortunately, we had some good help both here and in Des Moines to move Megan into her apartment. I actually only had to be in charge of the door...and "ground level" can be a little deceiving...up probably 10 steps outside and down maybe 8 inside. She is in a nice 1 bedroom apartment at the end of the hall next to the laundry room and close to everything. It is only about 1 block to work, maybe a mile or mile and a half to her second job, with Target, Hy-vee, and a mall in between...so much for the long commute.
We will miss seeing her often, but we are very relieved to not have her on the road every day. Jon is taking calls for one of the other guys this weekend, and I might be heading to the city tomorrow for a short trip...don't know yet for sure.
Thought for the day
How do we learn to care about the things God cares about? How do we get ourselves to step away from our own interests enough to see through God's eyes? I think we don't realize how small our whole world is in the scope of all that God is doing. I'm not laying a guilt trip on anyone. God understands what we're made of and how we think. I think we would be encouraged if we could crawl into His skin and see through His eyes that He really does care about the smallest details of our lives. But we would maybe see them playing out on a bigger canvas and having more layers than we dreamed. I think we would be able to be more patient to see "results", more willing to leave the end and the process in His hands and let Him work. How can we put this into practice?
