Hello again...

It's been along time since we posted our last blog. Yes, we are still alive after all the hurricanes and we didn't have any damage. Thank God. I sometimes ask the Lord why he moved us to hurricane alley!! But I have to just trust Him.

Anyway, I am counting down the days until my birthday because mama and daddy are coming to visit the weekend before and The Graham's are coming to visit the weekend after. It can't get any better than that!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Love ya'll

Hebrew is hard! This summer, in order to fulfill the requirements to enter into the PhD program at NOBTS, I am taking two Hebrew classes. And might I say that Hebrew is ridiculously hard. For starters the characters look weird. Hebrew has dots for vowels. And it is backwards, that is it is written right to left not left to right. Needless to say, it seems a bit odd and strange.

However, through this experiencing I am clinging to two thoughts. The first is a thought from John Piper. Piper once said something like "if you rake leaves all you will ever get is dirt, but if you dig a little you might just find diamonds." I am praying for diamonds! The second thought is from Psalms 119. Psalms 119:11, "I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." And what better way to store up God's Word than in Hebrew!

Our Princess Izzy

Izzy finally got a haircut today and she is adorable. Here are some photos:

Isn't she the cutest dog you have ever seen??

The ladies at the haircut place said she about licked them to death! they loved her!

Travis and I went to the movies tonight to celebrate our anniversary and there was a photo booth there. I had to persuade Travis to do it but he was glad we did!!

It sure is strange...

It sure is strange being here in Mississippi! I haven't gotten use to it yet....that's for sure! I want to thank mama, daddy, tom, linda and lauren for helping us get moved to Mississippi. I am so thankful that I have such a great family to depend on!!

Well I am trying to study for my Praxis test which is this saturday but as you can see i am on the internet. I am very bored out here. I sometimes feel like we live in a retirement community because it is so very quiet in our neighborhood. There is a plus to living here.....the beach!!!!

I am posting a pic of the beach 30 minutes from our house!! It is nice! but I sure do miss my family!

anyway, back to studying!!

Love ya'll

Travis and Holly

This is what Izzy does all day!!
