Thank you!

Farmers Market

Last Saturday we went to the Farmers Market up in Boise. It is pretty much like the arts and crafts during Apple Blossom. But with a lot more tents. I really love to go up there just to watch all the people and get some nice berrys! But of course its not berry season yet so no berrys this time but Matt and I did come home with a Marianberry Pie! Which totally just melts in your mouth! Its the best pie I have ever had. So we decided that if I go or we go and there are no berrys then pie it is!!! hehe Then there is the made fresh mini donuts that Matt must get every time we go. He loves those little yummy things! :)

There was even a guy who was playing a bag-pipe (spelling?)

And here we are enjoying beautiful Boise, full on mini donuts and loving all the green trees!!!

Jadi's new friends..

We have little ground hog looking critters here. They are called whistle pigs. haha Anyway they are always tormenting Jadi. She runs back in forth to all the windows trying to catch them and yells at me to get them or chase them away. LOL :) A few weeks ago I went out to chase our first whistle pig away and it screamed at me! It sounded just like a little girl scream. It was so stinking funny! HEHE Here they are!

Subway..

I got HIRED!! :) Thank you for all your prayers and advice!!!! WOOHOO And the really cool thing is.. that the shop is 7 min. away walking. SWEET! Sense the shop is on base.. we get paid more and we get more raises than if I worked down town.
The manager is really nice and understanding. All the medical conditions were not a problem at all. He is more than willing to work around them. He said that they have hired the main portion of the team who will be the first ones trained and working, and they will be the ones working the main part of the time when it opens. And that is another answered prayer, they will probably not open on time due to still needing a cash register. lol So ya it sounds like I am more back up working... which is fine with me. I will only be part time which is what I wanted.
Thank you for all your prayers!

I chopped off some hair.

Jadi looks so happy huh LOL

Another Prayer Request :)

I am going into a interview tomorrow to work at a new Subway that they are constructing on base as I type. They have started the hiring process and I got a call yesterday.
*I need prayer for wisdom of what to say. Because my priorities as a wife is that my family comes first, so if this job ends up interfering to much. Then it will be dropped so I can full fill what God has instructed me to do first.
*I am also worried about my health issues. Should I say something about it to them while in the interview? Because there is a very good chance that I am going to end up having Kidney stone removal surgery in June or July. And I am not sure what the ovaries are going to need. Plus the fact that they are wanting me to start working before the surgery then if the pain comes back, I will have to take a percecet. So I would be on narcotics while working or not being able to work due to that. What do you think????? Advice please.. :)

Prayer request

I have been having more pain attacks in the last few days. My next appointments for the o. cysts and kidney stones are June 2nd, and June 5th. Please pray that things will settle down and behave. I don't like taking the pain killers because they make me all fuzzy and I am not able to drive while they are in affect. So it kind of shuts me down and I am not able to do stuff that I need to do/want to do. So inturn it starts to make me depressed. :(

Exercising...

So the last few months I have been really good about going to the gym at least 5 days a week. This last week and this week, Matt is doing a leadership class. So he actually gets off at a good time in the evening, so then he has time to go to the gym before they close and he actually has the energy to go work out. :) woo hoo :) So this last week I have been walking for an hour in the morning and then doing a hour of cardio in the evening. Usually I use the eliptical mechine.. or if my feet are getting sore, then I get on the bike. So that has been really cool because : 1 - I feel stronger, 2 - maybe lose more weight, 3-emotionally it is great.. helps keep me out of the depressed mood set, 4- Matt and I get to work out together so we are both getting healthy and in turn that helps our relationship. 5 - I am able to help motivate and support Matt while he starts training to do his race in Sept. in Chelan. Thank you God!! :)

Here is a cute pic of Matt and Melia :) I love her face in this pic! :)

The last few days.........

The little puppy dog that we were taking care of left our home today.. Matt is enjoying the peace and quiet but I am finding myself missing her. Jadi ( our cat) is also wondering around looking for her too. But Mimzy was very very excited to see her mama. :) VERY EXCITED :) hehe so
that was cute!

I got my hair cut. :) Just in time for summer. Its kinda the same cut that I had in High School. I am enjoying it. Especially in this heat! lol

This last weekend the weather was very nice but very hot as well... Both Matt and I were outside doing some running/walking for about 1 1/2 hours. I put some sun block on and I still got burnt a little bit. Matt was a red crab :) hehe But of course he tans very well so he sucks! :) lol

We went up to Boise yesterday and had some lunch at I-Hop. Then we went to the mall to find a Bed Bath and Beyond... and they didn't have one... how messed up is that? So we headed over to Edwards 21 and saw Iron Man. It was pretty good.. Matt really liked it :) He kept nudging me when he was getting excited. :) hehe Love it!

Matt found a bull snake in the front yard!!! AAHHHHHH!!!! Already?? I am really anxious about this summer and fall with the snakes... For those of you that don't know.. I hate snakes!!

So thats what we have been up to the last few days. :)

We want to send out a CONGRATULATIONS to Shaun for doing such a AWESOME JOB on his tests!!! We are so PROUD of you!! Love you Shauny :)

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

We LOVE our MAMA'S :) Thank you for feeding us, loving us, teaching us, cleaning us and spending time with us as we grew up and as we are still growing up. :)

Love,
Matthew James and Darcy Marie

God is SOOO COOOOL!!

This morning I was really feeling lead to read the bible.. and I was getting a picture of my little gray bible. The one I have been using but I have another one that is bigger with larger print. So I had the gray one in my hand and then I turned to get the other one... as I picked up the larger bible, I got the picture of the gray one in my head again. So I put the larger one down and picked up the small one and went to the couch to start reading.. but first I turned on my computer so it could boot up.. It normally takes a few min. I opened to where my book marker was, which was in Galations. I started up at chapter 6 where it talks about helping to keep each other spiritually healthy and if some one is temped by sin, to step in and gently help him see where he is headed and how it is wrong.
All of a sudden I got a message on my computer on Skype . It was one of my friends in Malaysia. She was needing to talk about something that she couldn't talk to her parents about. It turns out that she was going through a very lonely time in her life and the enemy was really tempting her by starting to fall for a guy she has never met in person, just online. I wont go into detail but it was not a healthy choice by any means.... religion mainly. The enemy was totally tempting her to go against her own religion, her familys wants and desires... and she just couldn't see her way out. So I was able to be very nice about it but I got her to see what was really going on. And she was able to talk her way out to the light. :) Hurray!! Then I told her that God had me read Galations 6 and I told her to read it and tell me what she thinks.... At the end we were so grateful for our friendship and that God was still using her and I even though we are worlds apart! GO GOD!! And then at the end... she said something totally out of the blue and it spoke into my heart so deep that tears appeared instantly. Only God could let he know what to say about that certain subject. *tears* ~ Thank you FATHER!~

Who loves blossoms?

Here are some plants blooming around our place.

I am not sure what kind of tree that we have in our back yard but I am loving what it looks like right now!!!

Here is the neighbors tree in their back yard.. :)

Outdoor fun!

Hammocks are so awesome!!! I got this one down in Guatemala.

This is Mimzers (Mimzy) and we are doggy sitting her for a week until her parents get back from Alaska. She was having lots of fun running around today and playing in the tall grass that needs to be mowed soon. :)

She wants up on the Hammock. Isn't she a cuttie pie :)

The sun was making her very sleepy.

Ahh yes some shade.. finally!! Feels so nice and cool... ooo no she is getting heavy eyes!

Look what I found :)

I found this little beauty on a shelf behind some other flowers... I grabbed it and walked all over walmart with it. ( Because we didn't need a cart) hehe I have been really interested in this type of flower (Orchids)because it is so different than others. Any who I just wanted to share it with you!
