Meet the new member of the family

Over the weekend we adopted a little puppy from the animal shelter. This little guy was the one we both fell in love with, especially Jeff. He's got a new little best friend to play with. Jeff named him Jeremy. He's a little rambunctious at times but over all a real sweetheart and I can already tell he will take to some house training pretty well.

He's a stinky little fellow, sometimes its like a punch in the face!!! But he's not used to the change in food yet. We've been fortunate enough not to have to clean up any poopies yet, he's pretty good about letting us know when he has to go. We have not had him for very long but it already feels like he is a part of the family, like he always had been and the best part is him and my parents dog Rusty get along great, they are becoming best friends!
Puppies.......how can you resist!!!

Oak Creek Brewery

Jeff and I were able to stay in Sedona and we decided to eat at a brewery located around the resort. The Oak Creek Brewery is on the upper level of the shopping square and the view is awesome! Right outside the window was a view of the Red Rocks. Even better was the view on our table when our food came. They have great gourmet style pizzas and we could decide on beer so we ordered what called "The 7 dwarfs". All 7 of their own beers brewed right there at oak creek. Its brought to you on a wooden plank numbered 1-7 so you can read and track which beers you like the best. A perfect match to the pizza we ordered!!!

You know me, I love food and especial something that makes it a little special or different.

A spiritual shot in the arm

This last week we had our Circuit Overseer visit. This was their last visit to the Winslow congregation so Jeff and I got here just in time to see them. They are such a Wonderful couple! Rick and Dawnia Quartermain...They are a young couple and this is their first circuit. Rick is a wonderful speaker, his talks really reach your heart and more often then not leave the audience with tears in their eyes because the way a delivers his talks are so touching. We also got to spend some time with them outside of meetings and service. They were staying at a friends house and we went over to have lunch and played quite an entertaining game of Cranium. Its always nice to see a C.O. couple in their comfort zone because you feel that much closer to them. Jeff and I were able to sit in on the first half of the pioneer meeting because we are auxiliary pioneering together for the month of April. It has started out to great because the winds have been so bad (up to 72 mph) that we had to cancel our service plans because the roads were closed and well....it was WINDY!!!! But the pioneer meeting was very encouraging, I wish I could have stayed for the whole thing...Maybe I will be able to in the future. Weeks like these are always much needed and it was very encouraging for us!
