Things

Just wanted to update you on a few comings and goings of the DeGroots! And also, be sure to read past this post for some pics...
Chris has been quite busy with biz stuff. He's got quite a few irons in the fire, some of which are actually even bringing in money, so that has been a real blessing. Currently, he's planning to do a Christmas Program for a school in Dec, possibly a dance recital for a different school in Nov, some 3rd grade football games on Saturday mornings, possibly a commercial DVD for a friend of ours, some different videos for a Restoration Company (owned by friends of ours), and every Sunday night he is filming Metal Sundays at a venue nearby for a bunch of different musicians. We have no idea how successful any of these things will be just yet, but we are SO VERY THANKFUL for these opportunities the Lord is providing and are praying over their success and fruitfulness everyday.
The pics that follow are from last weekend. The first are from the Women of Faith Conference in Denver. My wonderful and most generous mother-in-law paid my way to go with her, my sis-in-law and some other women from their church. She also treated to dinner AND a hotel room! Amazing, huh? And let me tell you, it was a GREAT time, not only to connect with them, but also just to be refreshed and re-convicted of things. I also had the pleasure of reconnecting with an old friend from an old church, which was a very wonderful surprise!
So that was Fri and Sat and then on Sun we went to a housewarming party for our friends' new, gorgeous house. Kel and Bob just built this beautiful house in Windsor and had a bunch of us over to watch the Raiders/Broncos game in their new basement theater room. It was so much fun, even though the poor Raiders did look awful, and my poor hubby was thus quite heart-broken! But it was a great time with friends, which we are so blessed to have!
So, I think that does it for now for updates. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Lotsa Love!
