Little bit of everything

Hi! So Jason checked our blog and said to me, "You haven't written anything since January?"
I said, "Guess not" I have just been occupied with a lot of things to accomplish, and places to go.

I should write something before I forget it all. I'm sure you can guess we are still plugging away at getting the house done with it's building project. I should quit talking about it, as if it is going to get done someday soon. Jason has at least to other projects he wants to do after the office/closet/master bath is complete. He wants to close in a laundry room and make our living room bigger. While we are in the middle of building, Jason and I have begun a Financial Peace class through our Pastor. We decided it is real hard to have a strick budget while being in a building project. Breathe...... We will get through this!

This past weekend..... Valentines weekend, we decided to do something different. Jason and I took our two sweethearts ( Matthew and Denae ) snow tubing in Maryland. Not too far from WV. I took pics of the slope/mountain we went down, but I do not have them ready to post.
Soon hopefully. The kids really loved it, I thought they would never get tired. We were there from about 10am Friday to 3pm. Then we drove back to Mannington, packed the kids a bag so they could spend the night with their Papaw and Mamaw...... because Jason and I had a date.
It was the most romantic date ever, not really. ha. We went out to eat and then did our homework for our financial peace class. That included a budget. We have a budget but it wasn't as strick or laid out like they wanted, so we went by their rules. With the economy the way it is, we needed to look over everything again anyways.
We had a nice evening alone, and the kids like staying their grandparents and playing games.
( We tease our Pastor and tell him he will have to do marriage counseling after this class is finished.) I'm teasing, you know that right?!

Sunday night we had another quiz meet and this time it was at our church. I had to be the quiz master for my class. The kids get to compete against the adults, and the adults are fairly willing.
It's a good time had by all. Matthew and Denae had perfect scores again. It will get harder from here on out.

I did want to mention before I bring this note to a close, that Jason preached his first sermon at a Baptist church, a week a go Sunday. His boss, Dave's church is without a pastor, and Dave asked if Jason would come preach. So Jason said "yes." They treated Jason (us) good. Jason will preach again at a Nazarene church the first week of March.

This past week we had some high winds of 60 to 70 mph. I was amazed to see the wind blow so fierce, this was not good. I have only ever seen winds like that on the news. Yes, there was damage, and electric was down in places, schools closed. What really amazed me was the wind took a huge awning off at the doctors offices down the street, but the wood and construction at our house stayed put. I thought we would for sure have some broken glass or something. Thank the Lord, no damage.

I think I caught you up on at least a few things going on in our lives. Even though it is cold
here today the sun is shining bright! We miss each of you and pray you are doing well!

Signing out for the Moore family, With our thoughts and prayers....
