What a week. I have sat down three or four times to blog to only be interuppted by different things. For one my grandfather went into the hospital with an infection that if not cleared up by the test this afternoon they will be doing surgery. So please say a prayer for him. Then there is school work.. which I lagging behind. I was planning on changing the name of my blog, but I want to write why, and it be thoughtful. So it may have to wait until I'm I can sit and concentrate on it. Then Josh and I had a couple of 'off' days. When we are not exactly communicating effectively. We finally sat down, talked, and prayed. Got some things BACK on track. So now for something I look forward to every week :)  Linking up with Mama M .  1.  Where is your favorite vacation spot and why? Probably the mountains. Even though I live close to them.
