Every Cloud Has a White Gold Lining

It's been a month to the day since my last post. I'm getting better! Lots has happened.

We're on the layoff roller coaster, again. Silver linings? I've had a sub job everyday since the layoff and we were able to get some oral surgery done on Steve and the girls before the insurance ran out. Necessary evils! They really didn't want me to show their "chipmunk face" pictures and I, uncharacteristically, complied.

The best thing was today.... MICHAEL PROPOSED MARRIAGE TO SARAH SHAVER AND SHE SAID "YES"!

We all went to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Michael's choice. Diana and Nick Mowes (cousins in crime), Allison and Emily and Steve and I all went with them. Afterward Nick's wonderful parents, Mike and Tami Mowes, had us all over for a BBQ dinner of Beef and Elk steaks and all the good things that go along with it.

Blessings all around. Thanks to the Shavers for raising a sweet and loving daughter. Thanks to Nick and Diana for taking a trip to CO and bringing Michael and Sarah with them. Thanks to Tami and Mike for making the day that much more special. Thanks to our Father in Heaven for showing me some greatness in my life.
