College of Charleston

Kevin and I drove many miles for him to check out the College of Charleston~
what a lovely area or as he says~ it has a good vibe too it! The houses were colorful and big and the palm trees were beautiful! The college is in the center of the town, with lots of buildings! The dorms (at first we thought it was all of the small apartments near the college) but realized that they have actual dorm rooms! I asked him to walk ahead and I prayed~ prayed for him, for his choices, for the city, for people in the town. I want him to go and get the experience of living away ~ I want him to be happy and work hard! We drove to the beach(cause that's important to the brown family) ~ and it's maybe 10 mintues away from the center of Charleston and it was a lovely day~ many shells on the beach (yes I did get a few :) ) !

Not sure how any other town could compare to this, but here's to choices!!

Good luck Kevin~ no matter where you choose, we love you and are proud of you!

a new to me couch!

Belinda called me Sunday, to ask me if I knew of anyone that needed a couch~ as the Potvins (frank) were going to give their's away! I said omg !! We do!!

Our living room is small, with the woodstove and brick taking up so much room~ and I knew they had the huge wrap around couch, so I wasn't sure really if it would work out! But it did!
we feel so blessed to have new !! It's perfect! I had made a list several weeks ago, of things that I thought we needed to work on in the house and getting a new couch was first on the list!

Do believe that God cares about all the things in our lives and lines it all up when we have the faith to see the blessings! Some people wouldn't have taken the new to us couch, but we will be forever grateful!!

2 more things on the list :) God will find a way, when we can't!! Another blessing today, Harold (son) had a interview at Pizza Hut and got the job! He is thankful to be able to go back to work! It's not good for him to not be busy, too much time to "think". He has other jollies lined up, so I've been praying that Gods got this!
