>Matt and I are leaving in the morning for a week-long trip to Carthage, Texas with our youth group. 14 kids, 5 adults and two 12-passenger vans are heading down there for a mission trip this week. I hope it will be fun, and I hope we get to be Jesus for people for a few days.

That being said, I’m going to be a little out of touch for a week or so. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about taking a couple hours Saturday night to catch up on all the blogs I’ll miss all week! Pray for our group – that we’ll be safe and get along well. Pray for Buster too – he’s staying home, and our friend Debbie is going to be taking care of him while we’re gone. I hope he doesn’t have another raging party while we’re gone. Kids…

Love each other!

Buster came home last night, and really seemed to be feeling much better (thank you Jesus!). We played a lot and snuggled a lot last night. At one point he climbed into a tote I keep on a shelf with some of my scrapbook gear. Isn’t he cute?

This morning he was still licking himself, and seemed to have a little difficulty peeing. I hope we don’t have to take him back. The vet bill yesterday was just under $500, and thankfully they’re working on a payment plan with us. I don’t want to have to take him back! Poor guy…

Thanks for praying for him. He’s such a sweetie…I hate knowing he’s not feeling well!
