Spoiled Doggie

(From the Heart of She)

It is starting to slowly dawn on me how spoiled our dog truly is! So much so that I really don't want to admit in writing the evidence to that fact. I have included a picture of Zaba that captures the essence of his 'spoiledness' - his expression basically says "I soooo have it made and there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it!"

on another note- I am getting spring fever big time. I am soooo over this winter. I also am really missing my family and the friends that we don't get to see often (which is basically all of you reading this!) It just seems that life is going by so fast that there is never time to stop and visit. But we are making time this summer. Zaba, Mark and I are coming to a town near you! We plan to visit A LOT of people this summer that we haven't had the chance to see in a while. (With a side trip to Minnesota!) Don't ask how we chose that destination- but there is a reason behind it. We are staying at the Gunflint Lodge on the Minnesota/Canadian border - check it out at http://www.gunflint.com/slideshow.html I am hoping to see some northern lights! (one of my life goals!) Mark's parents are also taking their children and grandchildren to Disney world and one of our good friends is getting married. Needless to say it will be a jam packed summer. Can you tell I am just a little excited (and ready for a break!)

Lastly, Mark and I begin our classes for foster parent certification next week. This is just a beginning step so, of course, we will have lots to consider and pray about along the way. We aren't going to be rushing into anything. But we have felt for a long time that this is a desire God has laid on our hearts, so we are really excited about taking the first step! Please pray for God's guidance for us as we begin this journey.

We love and miss all of you. Thank you for staying tuned to our site and reading about all of Zaba's crazy antics!
