Okay I know, I know, it has been a long time since I have blogged. I can't tell you how many emails I have received asking me why I haven't blogged in a long time. The truth is life has just been overwhelming for me the past few months. I have been living in the fast lane for sure!! It reminds me of that Alabama song, "I'm In A Hurry To Get Things Done(Oh,) I Rush & Rush Until Life's No Fun, All I Really Gotta Do Is Live Die But, I'm In A Hurry & Don't Know Why. I thought that I would update some of the happenings that have gone on in the Fender household and I promise I will get back to blogging more frequently!
- Richie got on with a marketing firm in Rocky Mount, NC and is interning for them. He has already gained a ton of experience and they have appreciated having him there. This was an answer to prayer and we are very grateful for this opportunity.
- Richie is now a senior at North Carolina Wesleyan College and is still making the honor list and has every term since he started there. I am VERY proud of him!!
- Richie works full-time for his Mom's family business and he gives back on a daily basis doing all kinds of duties for the family. I work there part-time and help as much as I can.
- Richie & I are working hard to eat healthier and incorporate exercise in our daily lifestyle.
- Richie & my Mom surprised me for my birthday and she flew here for a visit. It was the best birthday gift ever and I was very surprised and really enjoyed her visit, she even brought her mini long haired dachshund. The 3 of the dogs enjoyed that a ton!
- Richie and I are working very hard to pay things down and prepare for our move. We ask that you all pray for God to continue to lead us where He wants us. Just when we think we know where we are going God shows us something else and we have to re-focus. God please lead us and may we do your will!
- Richie & I haven't taken any trips yet and though we love to travel we are limiting our travels to a minimum due to saving for paying bills off and saving for a move. I'm sure we will take a weekend trip for our anniversary and we already have tickets for December to fly to CA for 10 days. YAY! :)
I do believe that is it for now. We are plugging along and working hard to get where we need to be. Life is certainly busy and we are constantly working towards a new chapter in our lives. The Fender household is never still for too long. God may we glorify you and may you continue to mold us and use us for your will! We hope you are all doing well. I do promise that I will be blogging more and keeping in touch better. May God bless you and your family and may you find comfort in Him!
Blessings,
Lori Fender
