The Been Briefing

Waterton Canyon

today a group of us went biking in waterton canyon. it was a blast! i'm thankful for friends who like to get out and enjoy beautiful colorado as spring is finally blooming!

meanwhile, eu-mi is growing so quickly! when we took her to the vet this week to get her heartworm pills, she weighed in at 7lbs. 13 oz. at four and a half months!!! we are so proud of our little girl for growing AND for learning how to go potty outside regularly. she has learned to ring the bells attached to our door when she wants to be let out. in this way, she can clearly communicate with us her need to be outside, which gives jody and me te freedom to go about our business and not stress about her going potty inside. eu-mi has also found the 'doorbells' an effective means to get outside just to play!! so we are trying to nip that in the bud pretty quickly. :)

this week we also made a wonderful and exciting purchase.... a new vacuum! for those of you who know, our vacuum cleaner decided to break a few weeks ago, and it has been challenging to keep the place clean since then. after doing a fair amount of research online and looking at both target and walmart and price-checking forever, we decided to give tuesday morning a chance. in the end, we walked out of there with a dirt devil vacuum cleaner that thus far has been fantastic! yay! i am so thankful and so happy about it.

please continue to be praying for my job search. i have three or four decently viable job options that i am looking into and applying for. overall, i am peaceful and actively trying to place my hope and trust in the Lord. He alone knows what jody and i need, and only He can make the way for us. i'll keep you posted.

again, since i am in-between jobs, i'm back into the creative cooking mode. this week i made potato soup and had so much fun with it! it has made for great leftovers, as well. we praise God for the food that manna ministries provides, and i am having so much fun being creative in my use of it all.

LOVE,
jody, ruth and eu-mi :)

p.s. here's eu-mi with her new bear latched around her neck. LOL. i think it happened by accident, and i was wondering why she was so fiercely attacking the bear. yep. it's because she got her head stuck in the loving arms of the teddy bear. ahahaha!
