Yep, that's the story of my life. My crazy, old, slow, dinasaur Gateway that has worked forever (even with a broken screen) decided on Monday that it was tired of working. I finally took it in to the computer repair shop yesterday but as of today still haven't heard what they think the problem is.
I found it kind of funny that I blog about changing my routine a little to include blogging a little every day and my computer promptly dies...LOL. I am borrowing George's computer tonight to do this. Hopefully by next week when they will be staying in their new apartment in Morgantown I will have worked something out. I really have to have a computer... :0)
We started moving Carolyn and George's stuff today. We hope to have every thing loaded up tomorrow and drive it to Morgantown and unload on Saturday. Their apartment is very nice. They do have some interesting neighbors, though!!
I'll try to update as I get the chance and a computer!

HELLO, AGAIN!
Wow...it sure had been a long time since I updated here. Sorry!
I have decided to try something a little different with this blog. I am going to try to write a little something each day to kind of journal what is going on with us. I have decided to delete my facebook. I did this for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that I spent entirely to much time at it when I should have been doing more important things. There are good things on there but it is also addicting to a people person like me and I just couldn't leave it alone. I tried to set limits but would set down for a few minutes rest and before you know it I had been there an hour. Sooooo....no facebook for me. My blog will definitely benefit.
OK...so what is going on in our life right now. We are expecting our 3rd grandchild in March. Carolyn and George found out while they were spending a month in Bahrain and India (visiting his family for the first time in 5 years) that they are expecting their first child. They were very creative and told me via skype while his Mother was with them so we got the news at the same time. (although I already suspected...lol) She is suffering from some pretty bad "morning sickness" that lasts all day, so if you think of it pray for her as she will start teaching ESL at Fairmont State on Wednesday morning. She really doesn't want to get sick in the classroom.
We are pretty excited about this new addition and the votes are still out concerning the sex of the baby with probably a 50/50 for what it should be. "I" think a girl would be nice since we have 2 boys but there are those that differ with me. God will ultimately choose and we will love it and cherish it whatever it is. Babies are such a blessing from God.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
I read this in a blog this morning. It is from The Message Bible (which I don't read but this was good)
"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going to work and walking-around life--and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for your is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without thinking. Instead,fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out.Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to it's level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you" Romans 12:1-2
