YEAH! We picked up the new book shelves today, we got 4 of them and a curved desk, all for $135. I figured brand new the 4 shelves alone would have cost me $160, so I am pleased. The desk is in our bedroom because Jon wanted to have a desk to work on his school projects ( autocad) and his Bible Studies. I gave him one shelf which he filled from top to bottom with Bible commentaries and study guides and spiritual books. He made quite a cozy corner with it all. I must admit I was nervous about it, I knew our room was plenty big... But I was afraid it would look yuck with a desk in it, but he did a good job. We added a couple of plants and a soft lamp to help the effect.

 I commandered the rest of the shelves HAHAHAHA . I have not yet filled all of them, but do not despair I am not yet done. I have more books and school stuff that has been stuffed into closets, and more in the mail.  I think it will be nice and neatly organized. 

We had quite the day reoganizing several key pieces of furniture. Not to my goal yet but we will get there. Because of my neck/shoulder injury a few years back I have trouble moving the big pieces myself. I did do a little this weekend and today and My neck and shoulders have been really mad at me. Oh well, it will eventually get done.

Pray for us, one of our kids is a cross between a strong willed child and a super sneaky one. We have really been working trying to break some bad habits and retrain her, but she fights with all she has. We had made some really great progress, but it seems we are having a relapse. This often happens when something is going on in their case with BMOM. I am wondering what is going on, but have not clue caseworker is not answering his phone or returning our calls. We are devoting much prayer to this, please pray for us as well. She screams because she wants her way, and if she cannot get it then she will torture us with her screams. Fortunately for her, I am more stubborn and refuse to let her get her way. But I still feel tortured none the less.

Thanks for listening to my rambles. Have a blessed life and bloom where God has you planted.
